I'd advise against roster limits by position. One year we tried a 4 RB roster limit b/c some whiners never had any decent RBs and those that paid attention had 5 or 6. So the next year in the draft a 4 RB limit was implemented. It was a pain in the butt to try to draft. Once 7 or 8 teams had...

In Yahoo you would have to do an "offline draft" where you as the commissioner are entering in all the picks as teams say them. It wouldn't have a timer, but it would be a live draft that you could project on to the TV and you wouldn't have to enter the picks later. The "Live Draft" feature...

It depends on the website you use to run your league. Last year I was in a league on Fanball that allows for you to set Minimums and Maximums at each position rather than a true Flex position (not all sites will let you do this). Our lineup consisted of:1-2 QB 2-3 RB 3-4 WR 1-2 TE 1-2 K...

It's mostly going to be within categories themselves, but does upgrade top tier receivers, too. On last year's stats Rudi had 23 receptions, while Ladell Betts had 53. That's 30 more points that Betts scores in a PPR league than Rudi. Rudi had 215.2 pts (per FBG's stats page), while Betts had...

By average starter do you mean NFL starter or fantasy league starter? I'm assuming fantasy starter because in a 1 QB league you could have a "better than average" NFL QB that is the 15th best fantasy QB, and thus not a starter for fantasy purposes. That being said, I've done VBD both ways...

You're right I was reading it backwards. I got so excited for the numbers that I didn't read the paragraph that closely... and I figured the Raiders were the worst at everything else, so it seemed logical that they were the easiest team to pass against, when in reality they were the toughest...

Excellent article. I look forward to reading it every year. All of my leagues are 2QB leagues, so finding any QB advantages, no matter how small, can be huge. I think it's important to note that not only are you adjusting the QB ranks for SOS, but also the Defense ranks. It's difficult in a...

Is the 41.4 PPG Manning's average of 5 seasons? If so, his average total season he scored 662.4 fantasy points. If I break down his components: over 5 years he averaged 32.8 TDs = 164 pts, 11.6 INT = -58. And he averaged 13 pts for rushing stats (assuming 10 yds/pt and 6 pts/TD). So that...

If you can start a second QB as your FLEX, then you'll want to do more than just look at Peyton's bye week. It's going to come down to the value of the RB or QB (or even WR) that is available to you at the time of your pick. What are your scoring rules? Is it just length of TD that earns...

How about the Frank Gore owner? - 3 of the 4 leagues I was in the team with Frank Gore won the championship. The 4th league I had Gore & Manning and lost in the title game to the LT owner.

One addendum - in response to the drafting 2 top QB's in rounds 1 and 2. At least in my leagues you don't have that chance. the top 3 QB's has been drafted in the following slot: 2006 - 1.03(Manning), 2.02 (Brady), 2.05 (Palmer) 2005 - 1.01 (Manning), 1.02 (Culpepper), 2.01 (McNabb) 2004 -...

I've been in a 10 team 2 QB league for several years and any new league I start we use 2 QBs and most players love it. Most of my leagues start 2 QB/3RB/3WR/TE and WR/TE flex, with K and DEF. We score 6 pts for any TD, 20 yds/pt Pass, 10 yds/pt Rush/Rec. -2 for Int. I tried a different 12...
