Anyone have any insight as to what imact this new change will have on fantasy? With 2 additional teams on byes in back-to-back weeks, this will certainly affect a lot of QBBC and DST combos. It will also make the waiver wire around weeks 4 and 5 a hotbed of activity... a lot of owners will be forced to look ahead earlier than usual.

Thank NBC for this, as they now have flexibility for all teams on Week 10 forward as a result.WW and planning will be major this year, especially in shallow bench leagues.

 
Yeah, my league has a small bench--6 reserve slots in a league that starts 8 (QB, 2RBs, 2WRs, TE, K, DST). Going to be work planning for the draft this year. I was thinking of grabbing Brees this year as a 2nd QB behind Bulger, but not with both on byes. Of course I was also targeting the Bears DST unit because of their unbelievably soft schedule, but that'd be the same week as well. With a thin bench you can't afford to have too many slots taken up by inactive players. I'm always going to have at least a 3rd RB, just in case, a handcuff RB to my stud, and a 3rd WR. That's half the bench with minimum depth. A 2nd DST if I go DSTBC, perhaps. When my TE and K are off, I may have to drop them outright since I can't waste the space. Dealing with a several-week injury is going to be brutal.

You can either take your lump all in one week as a strategy, or rotate a slot for players (i.e. TE off week 4, K week 5, D week 6 - cut and drop to replace one at a time). You may even get to reclaim your cuts.You're going to lose some games so if you like your team - grouping your byes into one week isn't a bad idea.
