2016 BUST league

Personally I say if it is still only eight, you draft an extra QB for the bench. If more than 1 of your QBs get injured then TLance gets the bird.

I don't even remember the ins and outs of this.

Whatever you guys decide, I'll bitch about. But live with.

Last year we did both H2H and overall points. Chef was so bad he won both.

Kind of like all my baseball teams this year. Unfortunately, it's not intentional.

I think having a bench would solve a lot of potential issues. There should also probably be a defined structure for the benches. I am thinking 5 spots:

2 RB, 2WR, 1QB

You are not allowed to start a bye week player or an inactive unless your bench guys at that spot are also inactive.

I am not worried about the TE position at all.

I would just do a bench for QB... one man bench only... we are starting so many WR/RBs that a loss of one or 2 shouldn't be a game changer... and it also takes away from the exercise...



I am liking the bench idea less and less...

Agreed. .this was started as a way to see who could correctly predict busts, not strategically position a full roster based on weekly matchups and such. .draft and forget. .draft and forget

i feel like the best way to limit the problem is to change the QB scoring...

Bench or not, there must be a way to account for injuries. Otherwise, whoever has the most wins. While some are more likely than others, anybody can get hurt. This should be about who can compile a team with the most low scorers.

Eddie Lacy was a bust, LeVeon Bell just got hurt. Big difference, IMO.

running backs and receivers we are starting 8 of them... your not going to win/lose because of ONE player...

QB, i do see your point... and thats why i think the best solution is to change the scoring up a little... By making the good QBs scoring less and the bad ones scoring more, that will limit the advantage while not entirely taking away the injury advantage...

Oh I agree, but adding this bench stuff makes for situations like benching my stud that I never wanted to draft in the first place, starting guys against Denver or Seattle instead of leaving your normal lineup alone. .that's not an accurate picture of predicting busts either. But if I draft RGIII, Shady, Edelman ect..I don't want to be punished because they got hurt either. .their propensity for getting hurt is the main reason why they'll be selected as a bust.

I still think your idea, or rather the original idea is the best way to handle it, even if H2H may seem more fun.

If u need another for the league let me know I can pick some losers Got 6 on DL in mlb draft & forget

 

[obxyankeefan]

@MilkSpiller22 Now that both drafts are done let me know how many people and what the roster is going to be. I will figure up who should be on the draft list tonight.

I am going to assume that @wilwhite is out... which makes an opening....

Molsan said he wants a spot.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Top 26 QBs I would suggest if we are going with 8 teams and 2 QBs a piece we use the top 20 which would stop at Matt Ryan

 

[obxyankeefan]

Top 46 RBs Maybe use the top 36 which would stop at Jay Ajayi

 

[obxyankeefan]

Top 44 WRs using 36 would stop us at Michael Crabtree

 

[obxyankeefan]

Top 26 TEs Using 20 would stop us with Clive Walford

 

[obxyankeefan]

We need to get this one started if we are doing a slow draft
