Were we going to determine the draft order early? Like to preplan my course of action, even more with all of these potential hold outs lol.

I'll be out of town next week but I should be good to do draft on my phone.

So are we moving forward with using full flex in place of the W/T slot (which might as well be a 3rd WR)? It's the only change I feel strongly about - I really think the roster inflexibility hurts the league and this year will only make it worse, IMO.

I'd be in support of W/R/T, but if you mean superflex I'd say no way.

Okay I'm going to generate the draft order now if I can. With the amount of players we have, there will be RB hoarding if we do W/R/T. There is no way to restrict positions on the roster and bench that I can see

True, it does seem as though Yahoo removed position limits.

I don't get why RB hoarding is a worry though. Adding flex means that we are saying when it comes to drafting that W/T, you have 16 more players to consider. Honestly it should be superflex because you should be deciding if Sam Darnold or Ryquell Armstead is the better play. Yes, all 32 will be drafted, but its up to you to decide if you want to start Daniel Jones in a horrible matchup vs. a middling receiver or RB. It adds more options. Here's a great article on it from last year.

I'll go with whatever the group wants but I think it's putting our heads in the sand to think that the current roster setup is the right one.

If there's one season where a superflex position makes a hell of a lot of sense to adopt, it's the one. When you're likely going to be faced with the prospect of multiple teams getting shut down for 1 or more games because of unforeseen COVID-19 exposure, offering owners the flexibility to slot anyone that offers some kind of offensive fantasy value into a slot from what will undoubtedly be a depleted waiver wire ought to be encouraged.

Draft is in 2.5 hours. Hesitant to make any other changes after folks have been running mocks but I'll listen to final appeals for W/R/T over W/T.

I'd be for it if we could restrict the number of RBs on each roster via the system

I'm not thrilled but also not unhappy with my draft. Definitely not used to being at the bottom turn. Good luck everyone!

Antonio Gibson is a promising pick to beef up your RB corps. Especially now that AP is no longer on the team. I've been trying to grab him in every draft that I can.

Nice receivers, Godwin and McLaurin. Crazy seeing Ekeler go in the first round but little dude is talented.

Man, .5 PPR the last few years made highly-targeted receivers really overpowered lol. Watkins looking at over 20 with .25 PPFD if this game doesn't get completely out of hand

Not that it matters since I was toast anyway, but apologies for not noticing Golden Tate was ruled out. Don't want to be seen as not caring.

Also I know not to panic after one week, but uhhhhhh...I didn't draft good lol

Need a quick answer on this for tonight's game: IR only for COVID or any players can go in those slots for any reason?

in the mean time I'm putting two of my players in those spots. Trying to be a honest good little boy though.

I'm not policing IR. If you can put someone on there, go ahead.

PS: There's no game tonight lol

I am 0% confident in Hollywood Brown not busting a 70 yard TD but we'll see
