AxeElf 787 Posted June 11, 2022 I just noticed there are a lot of top-ranked players with byes in Weeks 13 and 14. MOST leagues probably don't start their playoffs until Week 15, but if you have a 2-week-per-game playoff system (like ESPN's leagues, for instance), you could well have Round 1 of the Playoffs in Weeks 14-15. And even if you don't, it would kind of suck to go into that last week or two of the season needing a win, and having your #1 or #2 draft pick on bye. In order of ADP, notable players with Week 13 byes are: Christian McCaffrey James Conner DJ Moore Marquise Brown Kyler Murray DeAndre Hopkins In order of ADP, notable players with Week 14 byes are: Jonathan Taylor Alvin Kamara Aaron Jones David Montgomery Antonio Gibson Kyle Pitts Michael Pittman, Jr. AJ Dillon Terry McLaurin Darnell Mooney Michael Thomas Cordarrelle Patterson Caveat emptor.

polecatt 397 Posted June 11, 2022 Just two teams week 13, the Panthers and Cardinals, that's not bad at all Week 14 though, 6 teams, Packers, Falcons, Commanders, Bears, Colts, and Saints. That does seem like a lot that late in the season. Oh well, bye weeks are nothing new, they've just been scrambled a bit with the extra game. That said, playoffs shouldn't start until week 15 The two week playoff game setting on ESPN can be changed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocNiner 43 Posted June 11, 2022 Yeah week 14 is a.massacre to fantasy teams. We'll just have to weather the storm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm wondering if this is a bit of a covid plan. if (for example)a team has to cancell a game in week 7 they can just move the bye to week 7 and move the game to week 14. if the bye is in week 4 they have to schedule an extra week. I could be out to lunch on this but its the only logical reason I could think of for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps they're thinking none of these teams will really be in playoff contention, and the Packers will already have their division wrapped up by week 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
