One thing I've realized is that it's a different ballgame playing with posters here compared to the dolts I play with in my main league. Just about everyone in this league is on the ball, and my laziness on the waiver wire has cost me. It's still early, but I've got a hole other than Geeks' moms to climb out of.

And that's with getting 0 from your kicker.  Although if Amari Cooper goes off for 75, you can still lose.  I love how Yahoo, still gives edjr a chance to win

Yep, most definitely the waiver wire that has you screwed up.

I took too many draft gambles on my bums, particularly Najee Harris. 

I was in the same fraft position as my big league, so I decided to mix it up and take chances.

Oh well. I'm having fun. Worth the money. 

I like this league and will be back next year.

I'll fight to the end, though.

Nothing worse than a league loser who gives up.

I agree, its been a fun league so for. Now that we have it established we can bump up the league fee for next year.

Limit on transactions too.  

[bostonlager 2,665]

Another suggestion I would make is in regards to rosters. NFL teams only start one RB and I have never understood why Fantasy Football teams start two. 

Starters

QB

RB

WR
WR 

TE

Flex

Flex

K 

Def.

I am open to this. Actually when I started playing FF it was common to have 2RB 3WR. No flex.

It looks like I appropriately named the JFC Division

Same here and back in the 90s it made sense because almost all teams involved a FB into the gameplan. Nowadays its 95% single back sets.

If you had only 5, 10 or 20 transactions to make would you have drafted differently?

[bostonlager 2,665]

If we do transactions limits we need to bump up roster size by 4 or so. I like deep benches anyways and would vote for a 20 round draft.

No. At least not me personally. 
Only transaction issue I’ve ever run into in FF was people trying to churn a position because their opponent needed a QB, for example, so they would add/drop any viable free agent QBs to keep them stuck on waivers. It was easy to just ban that. 
 

baseball and basketball often have weekly transaction limits to keep people from stacking the counting stats for their weekly matchups but that’s also not an issue in football. 
 

I don’t see any reason to limit how much owners want to tinker with their rosters… but if I hear a convincing reason I’d certainly be open to voting on it next season.
