Fantasy Bowl owner turns over 33% of team for championship (1 Viewer)

How many free agents drafted the week of your fantasy bowl were put into a starting line-up for a team competing for the championship?

In my league in which we blind bid for free agents, the guy I am facing had enough dollars left to win three key free agents he is now starting in our fantasy bowl, Charles, Harrison, and Hartley. Great moves by him and the three players represent a huge improvement for his squad. Until he picked up these guys, I thought I was a virtual lock to win the league. Now I am a bit concerned.

I have never seen this many free agents picks put into play during the week of the championship and I go back to the Dalton Hillard days.

so you're saying jamaal charles and jerome harrison were free agents in your league as of monday, dec. 21? that seems ridiculous. maybe harrison was let go after jennings played well agaisnt the steelers. but charles has been a top 10 maybe top 5 RB for the second half of the season.

This can be fixed with deeper rosters. I'm shocked any of those guys are available even in my 8 team for fun work league, those guys are rostered.

Try upping your rosters to 20 or so and there just won't be that kind of talent left on waivers.

We have a 10 team league with shallow rosters that limit the number of players (active and bench) at each position. Frankly, I picked up Harrison in week 4 and subsequently dropped him because "I did not need him" and did not have room. That said, the point on Charles is interesting because the owner who picked him up should have had him for the last 3-4 weeks given his RB corp.Charles may have had the stats recently but given that league free agent draft is a blind bidding process with a budget, by the time he became an obvious player who was not a one-hit wonder, most owners had; solidified their team, spent all their free agent $$, had limited funds to spend, or were far enough out of the playoff/total point races not to care.
