little did he realize we had Laporta Kincaid Mcbride and Ferguson coming

Several years ago, my league switched its starting lineup to 1 QB, RB, WR, TE, K, and DST with 2 flex spots, and it's been great.

[nbain]

I’m in two leagues, one is Full PPR the other is Half PPR. I find the half PPR league to be much more balanced, the Full PPR seems to allow almost anyone to win based on one receiver just having a big game. it feels like your team as a whole needs to be better in Half PPR to win anything/win it all

[chrisd]

FAB doesn’t end the 3AM waiver thing. It actually increased it in our league cause guys are trying to save on FAB and don’t put as many claims in. Our waiver wire was like 3X as active before we went to FAB.

[marxter]

-Points for 1st Downs is
Intriguing and seems like a better option than PPR!
-Defensive points for 4th Down Stops is a good idea!
-imho Tight Ends and Kickers are still worthy in Fantasy Lineups!

[jeffstanley]

I'll stand up for TE's. LOL. The argument that the position should be retired when Kelce retires is flawed in that the player that scores the most at the position is going away should mean that the position goes away. If anything, the position should be reinforced since the "cheat code" is retiring, moving everyone back to the same level.

[acesmooth]

I like the 0.25 PPC, 0.25 PPR, 0.25 Points for completion, and -0.12 points for incompletion. We also do 3&out, 4th down stop, and other bonuses. Yet, we punish the kicker -4 if they miss field goals within 39 yards. Make sure you dont draft a sorry Kicker or QBS who are not accurate SCRUBS!!!

[kevinorges]

I've been emailing for years to add a component for turnover on downs! I love the mulligan of a player gets hurt before halftime!!!!

[CryptoGrady]

I like the tight end position. But I like extra flex spots for extra wide receivers and running backs to be used…

[kevingoodwin]

Hiya Dave - My one league this year gave us two IR spots, which was needed with so many injuries this year. The other league I was in didn't have any, and I agree it definitely made things difficult when three of your RBs got injured for extended lengths of time. I'm also a fan of two Flex spots - it will make last-minute decisions easier (hopefully) and then you can use your backups for the bye-week fillers.

[blairbuttars]

Dave thanks for your input, your JK Dobbins advise got me into the playoffs and got my 1st chip.

[illphilyo]

Half ppr I think is a good solution to full ppr. Edit: I don't think TE should be removed. Part of the fun. Less positions less fun imho.

[true]

To De-emphasize Full PPR I implemented QPPC (Quarter point per carry) gets a better balance for WR & RB, works pretty good for my league

[ryanmiller]

The best league I am in starts 2 te... and we do a 20 man league. Most fun I have had playing ff. For people who are serious about ff it allows you to use all that research and watching shows like this to work lol

[CryptoGrady]

Yes, for both defenses and quarterbacks, get one point for the win, -1 point for the loss…. Or 2-3 points

[Bonkrefeen]

I like TE Premium scoring with WR/RB/TE flex positions

[bobbysmith]

In our league we have a flex spot and a offensive player spot. That you can put any offensive even another Qb

[FDNY]

Here's 3: Sam LaPorta, Trey McBride, Dalton Kincaid

[kelseykjarsgaard]

We never had ir spot for keeper league. I stay up late ha

[kingrex]

I have to disagree with the FAB thing on several points. There is a tie exploit in FAB where the guy lower in the standings always wins if both bid the same amount. I like the idea of having free agents that are available to everyone. Someone waiting for waivers to go through to pick up free agents is allowing the best players to go on waivers, so they are getting the players the others didn't want. FAB also benefits the teams at the top of the standings that don't need to fix a bad roster.
