I just found this and wasn't aware of your site previously. Is the six digit number not available until the contest locks? I'm trying to follow the instructions, but there is no number in the URL. Looking forward to checking out your site....thanks!calcomatic.com
The site should be updated on 9/6 before the ATL/PHI game. FBG rosters lock on 9/5 so I can't load any of the rosters before then.
The entries are not locked at FBG until 9/5 at around midnight so you can't really do anything until they lock. I will load all entries at calcomatic at some point on 9/6 before the phi/atl game.I just found this and wasn't aware of your site previously.

I have 29 roster spots, and the most on bye in a single week is 6 (weeks 7 & 9). Since you went with a 30-man roster, you will still have 21 available, which is fine. I think it's more important WHO you have off at the same time, not how many (unless you went with a star-studded 18-roster submission). For example, if you chose 3 stud RB's and 2/3 hopefuls, I would not want my 3 studs to have conflicting byes.What is the most you guys have out on a bye? Week 11 is killing me right now. Out of a 30 man roster, I've got 9 guys @ 29% of my budget out on week 11.
Side note: I have 7 WRs, with one bye per week from weeks 5-11 (not by design, just happy coincidence). I wish that was true of my other positions.
Yeah, that's why I check % of budget along with number of guys out. 29% is pretty high. It worries me, but I think I'm going to roll with it. I still have 2 QBs and my top 3 RBs. Mainly hurts to be missing my top 2 TE in a TE premium setting. The other part that is worrying is that it is so late in the contest. Only strong teams left in week 11 and I'll be short compared to most of them.I have 29 roster spots, and the most on bye in a single week is 6 (weeks 7 & 9).

Barring injury, my scariest week is 9, because I went with David Johnson. If I can get by week 9, my only players left with byes would be my RB3 (Freeman in 10), 2 out 9 WR's (1 in 10, 1 in 11), 2 out of 5 TE's (1 in 10, 1 in 11), my K3 in 10, and my D3 in 11. I chose no players off in week 12. I would've loved to have Gurley and Tyreek, but that week 12 bye scared the crap out of me.

^^ Truth ^^For all of us, chances are a previous version we submitted was the winning ticket.
Having a large roster, you are sure to have a few bye conflicts. You just have to ask yourself, "do I want these particular players bad enough?" For me, with only 3 QB's, 3 K's, and 3 D's, i refused to have a conflict within each of these positions. As for my 6 RB's, my only conflict was with RB4 and RB6 (Aaron Jones and James Conner). I wanted both bad enough to take the risk, and it's a relatively early bye in week 7. At WR, I carried 9, and 2 sets have conflicts (Michael Gallup and Taywan Taylor in week 8, and Keelan Cole and John Ross in week 9). I wanted all 4 guys, and with 7 other options each week, I should be covered. I went with 5 TE's, all with different byes, and am happy that my top TE happens to have the earliest (Trey Burton in week 5).Def more concerned with “who” and not “how many”. Unfortunately, my top 2 WRs are out week 11 but I think (hope) I have enough depth to cover it. I only have 5 RB’s so that was my major concern with byes. There were certain players I couldn’t target due to conflicts.
What's the significance of week 12 vs the other cutdowns?Elevencents said:TE - Travis Kelce - 25
Hate the week 12 bye with Kelce but wanted someone I can count on.
Fewer teams have survived so most of the remaining teams are high quality and only two NFL teams on bye which adds to the issueWhat's the significance of week 12 vs the other cutdowns?
And 50% of the teams alive get cut that week.Few less teams have survived so most of the remaining teams are high quality and only two NFL teams on bye which adds to the issueWhat's the significance of week 12 vs the other cutdowns?
The assumption is the further you get in the contest, the tougher the competition. Later byes put you at a possible disadvantage against competition that has made it this far.What's the significance of week 12 vs the other cutdowns?

Please change McCaffrey. Please keep the other twoFair warning,every year i go stud at rb it backfires, so avoid this trio!
That would be pretty funny if it panned out.I am going to procrastinate then copy off someone else last second.
I mean I'm ok with a 2 way chop.I am going to procrastinate then copy off someone else last second.

Wow, just when I thought this contest couldn't stress me out any more.For all of us, chances are a previous version we submitted was the winning ticket.
Week 11, 7 players at $66. I might have to change that but I like my group right now so I might take the risk. I'm only counting on 3 of them most weeks, 29 player roster.What is the most you guys have out on a bye? Week 11 is killing me right now.

As long as it has most of my players, I will be rooting for youI'm all set! Just waiting for that deadline so I can show you all the winning roster!
Don't think there's a consensus, if I had to guess I think a smallish majority favor 3 over 2 but it's probably pretty evenly split.Is there a consensus regarding 2 QBs vs. 3 QBs?
On one hand, it's a position that doesn't see a ton of injuries. On the other hand, it's an important position and you need plenty of points there.

hahaha i legit changed it up today to put Bell in there ... for the sole fact that he's going to have really low ownership.I'm going to be the only one left in the contest with Bell on my roster. It will be glorious.
There are a few cheap 6$ and under vet qbs, Dalton Flacco Bradford etc, you might as well roster a 3rd qb. If your 2nd qb is hurt and main qb on bye, taking a 0 at qb would be brutaljdoggydogg said:Is there a consensus regarding 2 QBs vs. 3 QBs?
