Tannehill had 40 combined passing + rushing TDs last year with AJ Brown not being particularly healthy. I think he could do it again.

Thanks for that clarification. I wasn't sure there for a second!

We decided on this, for week 1. Kind of looking forward to it, makes every player relevant to your team for the kick off to the season. Thanks nobes!

Not an option because it's a dynasty league. I would not have been keen on having to find another owner anyway.

Do not want. We would end up with some teams having byes when none of their players are on a bye, and other teams having byes with lots of their players are on a bye.

Correct. This is precisely why we were looking for a better solution, even if it's a more complicated one.

I'm using myfantasyleague.com. Turns out they have some useful options that I didn't know about in Weekly Schedule Setup (can assign any matchup including assigning any individual team a bye or a matchup against the weekly average) and Adjust Standings (so I could manually change the W/L result to be based on top half of scores of the week instead of weekly average).

For what it's worth, it's a dynasty league, so drafting according to bye weeks isn't realistic. I may have to petition the site to support something like you and nobody were talking about (top 7 teams in week 1 get a W).

FWIW here's an article on the topic: Week 14 Bye Weeks And The Fantasy Football Schedule: Potential Solutions | Wolf Sports Their option 2 is the same as option B above. Options C and D above are variations of their Option 1.

Fellow fantasy football afficionados, I come seeking fantasy scheduling advice. As most of you have probably noticed, now that the NFL has added an extra game to the regular season, they have also, in their infinite wisdom, scheduled 4 teams to have their bye in week 14. That's a problem for my league because we have 14 teams and have always played a 13 game round-robin regular season (an aspect we quite enjoy), followed by an 8 team playoff. Obviously, having teams playing playoff games with potentially key players on a bye week is not desirable. So far we haven't come up with any ideas to deal with this that we really like. Some ideas we've considered, roughly in order that we like them best so far, to least: A. Have week 14 be play-in games between the 7-10 seeds, and the 1-6 seeds get a bye. B. Skip week 1 and play the 13 regular season games between weeks 2 and 14 (not sure if this is even possible on our site). C. Have week 14 (or week 1) not have any head-to-head matchups, but have the games count toward the points scored tiebreaker. (Again, not sure if this is possible.) D. Manually schedule week 14 for head to head regular season games between teams with adjacent records, e.g. 7 seed vs 8 seed, 9 seed vs 10 seed, etc... Any other bright ideas?

Yes

And if I'm doing this with 3 or more people and I want to eliminate all but 1, I change it to "and you are it"

That's not starter money. And if he ends up not playing much, it's not outrageous money for a backup either. And I think he will be much more ready to play this year than he was last year.
