A good commissioner would know about this type of routine play and the written rules would account for it. This alleged "problem" is nothing new. You don't need a rule to the contrary; the scoring rules list what plays score points. They don't list the plays that don't score points.

Would you play in a money pick'em qb game where you start 1 of 3 QBs per week, your opponent gets to know ahead of time one of his QB scores, and you don't get to know any of your QB scores ahead of time, and he gets to choose (highest of A/B) or C, and you choose D or E or F? Of course not...

What donut? I get 50 if I start Brees. One of us is obviously completely misreading the rule.

Locked in as Brees' backup. The advantage is you know what Eli scored so you have illegitimate advantage in determining Brees vs. Dalton. The starter is not locked! So if I know Brees is a scratch, and I know Eli scored 50... am I starting Dalton? I'd like such info for all my sit/start decisions.

Presumably for the same reason you have them in the NFL? In that case you also can't use someone who played last Thursday as your backup, yet there's still a point to having backups... I mean, I don't know, the rule is dumb to me but saying your backup couldn't have played 4 days ago doesn't...

It's not really a red herring because this rule creates a big loophole. It's about the principle not the specific case. If Eli scored -1 then you use that information to put in Dalton. If Eli scores 50 you leave him and roll the dice with Brees---or INTENTIONALLY start brees knowing he's going...

You can't retroactively start players so Eli is not an option.

Except Rodgers looked like a less well groomed Jeff Spicoli during the Favre drama, which he nevertheless handled perfectly.

Kaepernick also takes vertical videos with his phone and puts ketchup on hot dogs.

Ellington is practicing on a limited basis today.

As of right now the Cowboys' all-universe offensive line is generating 3.5 yards per carry. So amp up Randle's carries to 24. What does that get you? What does Jerry see when he's watching this running game? What's going to prevent him from seeing what someone else can do? Don't get me wrong...

Did any of you watch the Cowboys and think, hey, I wish Randle were on my favorite team?

What is Arians going to say, that newly acquired veteran CJ sucks and a rookie who has done nothing is going to eat his lunch? That'd go over great in the lockerroom.

Is he full speed? How'd he look in warmups?

Is this guy a player who'll be better in real life than fantasy? I'm high on his prospects to contribute to the team, not sure I want to rely on a seahawks receiver in fantasy. If you think he's good in fantasy, what WR tier do you put him in? What group of people?
