IDP is a whole other story. Assumed it was a more standard league.
It is otherwise. The IDPs score less than 5, usually 2.5 unless they get a td. I usually pickup a guy in the Monday night game if i need the points. It's actually been a fun add until the moves became limited. I won on a Marcus Peters Monday night pick 6 once.

I always have the most moves. That's what's fun to me, even though I love the draft too. It's a bullshit change in a 15 year league. There's a trophy and everything with my name on it 3 times. I need to decide how to bail.

Probably need to hold on to your seat. ..... in some way, shape, or form, what they roll out likely will not be a good as what they had.

Love Fantrax desktop, Fantrax app sucks and in an attempt to be more mobile friendly, they have ended up taking steps backward on their desktop version. Still the best out there though.

so everything is a lot better when using your phone, they actually have a product that the general population will be able to use vs what they had before. I still use my phone's browser and not their app, but it looks like I'll be giving the app another shot this year.

I will remind you all that O have not been a big fan of navigating Fantrax - desktop or app.
Finally played around with the new release because I was thinking about making a roster change.

I tried both - the phone version first, then the desktop.
Was pleasantly surprised and pleased with both.
What used to be a 2 or 3 step process on the phone can be done with 1 click.
The desktop has the same features but for the blind Mesozoic types that need a IMAX screen for a monitor, it is laid out nicely.

Much much better. Impressed, I give this 3 thumbs up. :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Maybe my only gripe is why did they change the star icon (watch a player) to a what looks like a notepad? Why not keep it a star ☆ ?? Or an eye? Or pair of glasses? Or binaculars? Or a Patriot scout?

I guess it depends. Doubs only played with Rodgers last year and he sucked, so maybe it's true. Love is just as good as Rodgers worst season. Is that really high praise?
That was the way i took it as well. More than half of the leagues starting QB's are as good or better than Rodgers was last year, so his frame of reference is a little skewed.

Do you have your display settings on your browser set to 'friggin huge'? ;)
Text/ screen is normal for all other sites, just NBC/Rotoworld has this problem for me.

suspending NFL players for gambling on NFL games...makes sense
suspending NFL players for gambling on non-NFL games at team facility...awful rule, but a rule is a rule, just doesn't make much sense in today's world where you can gamble on sports at any moment through your phone in a lot of states

craziness-
Yeah it's an awful rule, but like you siad, a rule is a rule..so just don't do it. IT's such a foreign concept to me.
.'activity X' is against the rules and could result in losing a very lucrative career--a generational wealth type of career. Well, I guess I won't do activity X, than

just seems like such a simple call to make, just don't do it. What else is there? Same applies to drugs, guns (Ja Morant), and any other extra curriculars that fall into probably awful rules, but rules nonetheless- just follow the rules, get paid, and retire a very well off 30-40 year old person who can now afford to do those things whenever they want.

yup, apparently the league wasn't crystal clear on the non-NFL wagers during some of the team meetings, but like you said - with this type of money on the table and people literally paid (agents) to translate these things to you, surprised at how many got busted or are claiming ignorance.

at least now the players all know, these sportsbooks will drop a dime on their ass in a heart beat if it means scoring points with the shield
