i have the complete opposite view. give me a deep bench and let me not have to drop mccaffrey or barkley when they get hurt. doing so diminishes our acumen. 

being able to grab an injured star player only because you don't have the same injury issues makes no sense to me 

That's what IR spots are for.

Bench and ir are different concepts to me. 
 

I do not like having to use a bench spot for someone on ir.

As a somewhat serious counter though, I think deep benches requires much more draft prep. Trying to find guys to stash that may play out later in the season and having the patience to wait it out.

part of my philosophy around FF is that i can draft a better team (so I typically try to run with that). if injuries pop up, or i speculate an upgrade ill do it

I'm sure there are some 14 team leagues somewhere looking to expand to 16 with unlimited bench that would take you two.

Everyone wins!

You dont, you put them in a IR spot.

There are a few people mentioning that they do not want ir.

my preference for us would be 18 or 20 roster with about 4 ir

OMFG WW.  You would drive me nuts IRL.  🥸

I think i'd only drive you nuts if you don't like discussion. I enjoy everyone's feedback on what they want from the league and in turn, because i've been an FF addict for so long, can't help but give mine. ... and I'm definitely chatting more because of the defacto commish status. Goal is to get the best league possible so people want to keep it going and raise the stakes a bit.

Wiped out by a 200+ point score.  

That's karma for being such an ornery fok.  

Karma isn't real dummy. Do you believe in ghosts and goblins too?

3 and 5 and i lead the division.   Most points allowed by a landslide.

2nd most points scored though. Decent chance you’ll have a better final 6 weeks.

WSIS

in my other league I need to start 2 of these 3. 
 

Darnell Mooney 

Allen Lazard 

Robert Woods

fantasypros keeps sending me emails to bench Lazard, but XM radio guys say Lazard is a must start if he plays. I’m thinking bench Woods. What do you guys think?

[bostonlager 2,665]

On Tuesday I’m also voting for 18 roster spots in this league. 
 

18 for 2023!!!!!

start Mooney and Lazard.  I wouldn't start Woods without Tannehill and maybe not with. So even if he does play, I like Lazard and Mooney

Why? I have to start complete garbage due to byes this week. I have 0.1 chance to win.  There aren't enough good players to have 18

I like stashing guys that could become starters in the event of injury.

34 point lead plus Butker against Mahomes. I think I can avoid the embarrassing loss to Buck Wheelies

Exactly why we should add 2-8 roster spots for next year

having more bench spots than starting positions is amateur hour. I'm sure we can vote on another bench spot or two though.  We have 9 starters 7 bench right now with 2 IR usable for any out designation. 

I like this breakdown and was just commenting that most knowledgeable FF players would like to have a ton of bench spots to play with... but i'd rather not see a completely barren free agent pool. This is a redraft, not a deep keeper. 

[WhiteWonder 2,751]

FYI, the trade deadline is fast approaching with only 5 regular season weeks left. 

November 19th.

Josh Allen is hurt. See you next year!

[WhiteWonder 2,751]

A combined 19 game losing streak in the JFC division.

 

J  F  C  

[WhiteWonder 2,751]

@bostonlager  did my best to try and gift you the win. I was going against Aaron Jones in my big money league and decided to start Lazard so I could just cheer for a slow game for Jones. 
 

looks like I’ll win the other league regardless so I should have just started Jones.

[Bier Meister 1,714]

Was between Lockett and Jacobs 

[edjr 6,603]

Judge Jeudy TWICE this year started a game, got hurt on 1st play and got 0. Keenan Allen hasn't played all focking year. I remember why I don't play fantasy football. 

No more.

Yep. In one league I had Jeudy and Kupp both go out. Chris Everett went out with a vag injury tonight, so looks like my night is done. Not that it really matters anyway…

Pretty sure you are safe. I would need McLaurin to go nuts and he has been quite a disappointment this year.

Reminds me why I hate Philly. Let’s fumble twice and rough the passer. Do whatever you can so Hurts doesn’t get a chance

[edjr 6,603]

now that Keenan Allen might be back, someone offers me a trade for him?  bruh. 

You have to offer that trade weeks ago for it to have any merit
