Currently, per Fantasy Pros' redraft rankings, I have 10 players ranked higher than my kicker Harrison Butker. The rest of my team (13 players) are ranked below Butker.

Shoot Joe..in redraft rankings, I've got ten above your kicker too, but 15 above mine...your kicker kicks my kicker's ass

Normally this weekend is the weekend for the IR to open back up. We have had two spots since the beginning. Any ideas on what y'all want to do this season in case of Covid?

@averagejoe @TREFF @Yellow Fuzzies @SmokingMonkey @tlance @MilkSpiller22 @bksballer89 @Chef99 @femurov @ehb5 @Stomp @HaroldSeattle @SoShady @Barilko @TKOSpikes

I think maybe keep IR the same, but increase roster size to 25 so we don’t have to cut anyone.

For 3 reasons:

1) Cuts are way harder without benefit of preseason
2) We will need additional roster spots as players opt out and test Covid positive
3) Still a good chance the season gets cancelled prior to completion.

I saw @averagejoe post about keeping the Taxi Squad in his other league. I agree with this approach.

The current discussion in my other league is the size of IR.
I am leaning towards the max (which in Sleeper is 10 IR.)
Plus, I'm not sure if these kind of league settings can be adjusted once games actually start.

Right now, our league has agreed to 6 IR.
But in any given season without a pandemic, those 2 IR spots disappear quickly.
The more we discuss it (and I feel the other owners are drawing this conclusion too), it won't take much to have what was a manageable COVID situation get out of control quickly. Like the Marlins.
Granted, not all NFL players are fantasy relevant, but no one should be forced to jettison players for the sake of filling a roster, even if they are merely replacement players for 2020.

While we're at it for D2, I think the "penalty" phase for not having a full roster during 2020 should be suspended (or at least discussed).

I would be open to more IR spots also

I haven't found a bad idea in any of these quotes...

I'm pretty much good to go with the flow on whatever this season...just so much unknown that if someone thought unlimited IR spots and a 45 man roster sounded good, I wouldn't bat an eye.

Double the IR and keep the taxi squad..sounds good enough

Man, @TREFF... that was a hell of a negotiation. I don't think anyone can tell us it wasn't thorough. A lot of time and effort spent on this one.

Good stuff, though. In the end, I think we both got what we wanted and improved. Good luck to you, sir.
