I have lost Charles for the year & now Foster.Still in 1st place though.
Well you didn't really have Foster but losing Charles is shitty. Also looks like the King Slayer is slaying.

Sent you a trade proposal. I think it's a very fair trade.

Hello there
So, here are some changes I'd like to see in the league next year, assuming the same amount of people play.
Expand the roster to 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, K, DST.
Reduce bench spots to 3
Re-introduce waivers
Increase interceptions to -2
Changes I would make if I owned my own fantasy football website:
Automatic in game substitutions for injured players. Here's how it would work.
Each week you get to choose a player you want to utilize your injury substitution tag on. In this instance let's say you want to make sure that if your RB get's hurt you don't get trounced because he goes out of the game in the first quarter by some fluke injury. You designate a player on your bench as his "backup" and if your starter goes down, your backup's points will automatically be added to that roster spots accumulated points total, based on the time of substitution. So let's say Matt Forte is your starter and you designate that roster spots backup as Frank Gore. If Matt Forte goes down at 14:40 in the 2nd quarter and accumulated 5 points so far, Frank Gore would then continue to accumulate points for that roster position starting at 14:39 of the second quarter in his real life game. This way, just like in real NFL games, injuries aren't the downfall of a team one week because they have a player go down with an injury. This also increases the usefulness of having a bench in the first place.
I dunno how difficult it would be to do that, I doubt it'd be too difficult. And honestly I would expand it to your entire roster tbh. You just have to designate who the starter is and who the backup is for each position. Rosters would be huge, sure, but goddamn that'd be fun.

Hello there
Larger roster = less need for more bench slots. Also makes decisions to drop players much more difficult.

I'm trying to get my work league to drop waivers. I guess the argument is 'some people don't have Internet access at home' but you don't have an excuse with smartphones

Exactly. I understand the necessity of waivers back in the day for paper leagues or in the early days of internet leagues, but now it's just an excuse for people who don't pay much attention to the league anyway to grab guy X on Wednesday or whatever because.....a list at this point based basically on not being competitive?
