We used to do random draw, serpentine. Then, 5 years ago, I switched and allowed all participants to draft any players alive in the playoffs at the beginning of the playoffs. Each team drafted a roster of whoever they wanted (2 qb, 4 rb, 6 wr, 2 k, 4 db, 4 lb, 4 dl, 2 flex idp.
Once a players team is eliminated, he can't be replaced. Some people will draft a lot of wildcard players hoping for more game opportunity...others will draft a team of favorites only to be disappointed by an upset or two.
In theory all 14 teams could have Peyton Manning and Eli Manning at their qb positions if the prevailing thought was an Indy v NYG super bowl.
I am tired of runningt his damn thing, but my leaguemates won't let me - it helps offset the shock of another fantasy season coming to an end and no baseball auctions until March.
