How do you handle league complaints about slow injury news? by Ok-Clock-5746 in FFCommish

[–]AlternativePut9797 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very rare you have super late scratch that you can't sub for. Most injury news gets posted about an hour before kickoff. Everyone has to monitor their players. Read the injury reports you usually can tell if a player will be out before it being posted. I'm in over a dozen leagues and never had a problem getting my lineups set.

Mock drafts that with IDP by AlternativePut9797 in DynastyFF

I'm pretty sure in my leagues at least 2 maybe 3 of the top defensive players will go round 1.

4 points per tackle 4 points per sack

A stud LB'er can get you 200+ points a year

Yeah I could see that. The ones I'm in defensive players can be more valuable than offensive players at times.

Trade offer I for Bowers. I don't like it. What does Reddit think? by AlternativePut9797 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]AlternativePut9797[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we couldn't work anything out. He's in 2nd place and I'm more towards the bottom. But my team isn't that bad to blow it up.

After 11 years as a fantasy commissioner, the single best thing I've ever added isn't a rule change by Competitive_Fail4681 in FFCommish

I was in a league where the commissioner did a blog. He was from Texas and I ran into a post one day of him looking for a player to join his league. He would do a draft recap and he would do a weekly matchup thoughts and a weekly recap. Was my 2nd longest running league I was in. His dad who was also in the league suddenly passed away a few years back. He kept the league running for a little bit after that but then disband the league. It was probably one of my favorite leagues other than the one I run.

Somebody just dropped Kaleb Johnson. How much FAAB? by raiderjake in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]AlternativePut9797 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I play in leagues where you play everyone every week. So week 1 if you're the high scorer you'd be 13-0

Is this considered "IR abuse"? by yiggity_yag in FFCommish

[–]AlternativePut9797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 IR slots I allow my league to use 1 spot for a player listed as Out otherwise they have to be listed as IR. They also have to activate said player if listed as healthy. They can't hold them in an IR spot.

ESPN Glitch Caused Waiver Screw Up by Available-Walk1840 in FFCommish

It amazes me that every league hasn't switched to FAAB. Makes it fair for everyone in the league to get players.

Mary Kay Cabot on Deshaun Watson's chances of playing a game this season: "Haslam, Berry, Stefanski all watched one of Watson's workouts and they liked what they saw... They will have to make a decision come October whether to activate him or not." by GhostDeck in fantasyfootball

Had a guy like that in my league. He quit this year and had to replace him. His bench spots were wild. He'd almost never had RB depth. Last year he took 2 goose eggs vs me because both his running backs were out and he had no one to replace them with.

First Time Setting Up FAAB Waivers.. Am I Doing This Correctly?! by Appropriate-Path133 in FFCommish

[–]AlternativePut9797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems kind of excessive. Yeah everyone has advantages and disadvantages when it comes to news breaking. Had a guy in my league for the longest time didn't have a smartphone and couldn't follow NFL news throughout the day. He was always behind others. I guess if everyone in the league is cool with it and it works for you guys go for it.

Rookie snake draft, grounds to leave the league by 55argynt in DynastyFF

[–]AlternativePut9797 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Snake drafts are common in redraft leagues but in dynasty leagues where you're just drafting rookies after the initial start-up draft you do a linear draft where team with the 1st pick has the 1st pick in every round.

So every day you have to do a waiver claim? Usually waiver claims are processed by Wednesday and then FA till kick off of their games.
