I have a question on the complimentary player feature. How important are bye week considerations in selecting a player in the complimentary player algorithm? I ask this question because I asked the DD to give me a compliementary RB after I had two RBs and it gave me a player who has the same bye week as one of my starters. I thought it was strange that the DD recommended a player who was going to be unavailable during a week a would definetely need him to play.

Please do not take this post as a criticism because I love the new features in DD. I am just trying to point out something strange in hopes of making the program even better.

Thanks,

Strange indeed. It essentially takes the two RBs you have and figures their worst 8-weeks combined according to the SOS. The SOS has bye weeks built into it... so one of the RBs wouldn't score any points that week... I guess it is possible, that the other RB would score a ton of points that week and make up the difference... The other factor is the other 7 weeks... maybe the complimentary player will score enough points during the other 7 weeks to offset not scoring on the week with a bye...

Which players were they?

Mine did something similar. I already had Shawn Alexander and Randy Moss (both Week 4) bye weeks. I took Chris Brown (week 9 bye week), and then in the next round clicked "Find Complimentary RB" and it told me to take Kevin Jones (Week 4 bye). Now, I guess it's possible that looking just at the RBs, it figured that one Week 4 and one Week 9 wouldn't be a problem adding another Week 4 bye. But when you consider Moss is there, too, then 3 of my 4 players so far have Week 4 off....
