Sunday to Tuesday

X
|
Currently, there are no weekly waiver locks, so during any point of the week, including during games, a player can be picked up. This rule would lock rosters from adding players starting with the Sunday at 1pm games and would be locked until Tuesday with waiver priorities in effect. *Update: Changed from Weekly Waivers to Game-Time Waivers. Each free agent will be placed on waivers as soon as their game begins each week. |

This would eliminate individual players from obtaining extra points for return yards. This rule change does not affect defenses from gaining points for return yards. |

1-6 points = 15 pts 7-13 points = 11 pts 14-20 points = 7 pts 21-27 points = 3 pts 28-34 points = 0 pts 35+ points = -3 pts |

This would lower the amount of impact that defensive points would have on a team. Currently, defense points have a larger than average impact on the performance of a fantasy team. |
|

Defensive Points (Sacks)
|
1 sack = 2 pts
|
1 sack = 1 pt

Sacks occur more frequently than most other defensive plays. Currently, defense points have a larger than average impact on the performance of a fantasy team. |

X
|
With currently three flex players, a person can start 4 RBs, which could pose an unfair advantage to those that load up on RBs. This setting forces at least 2 WRs, while still allowing for a flex position for a maximum of 3 RBs. |

|
Playoff Reseeding
|
No
|
Yes
|
|
Playoff reseeding will adjust the second round matchups so the highest seeded team will play the lowest ranked team. Playoff reseeding will occur when there is an upset in the first round of the playoffs. |

|
Playoff System
|
Eight Team Playoffs
|
Six Team Playoff w/ Four or
fewer Consolation
|
|
Reference Yahoo!'s Fantasy Football Playoffs for details. This gives credit to top two teams so they are rewarded and may not be eliminated in the first week of playoffs (similar to the current NFL rules). Also requires you to finish in the Top 6 in order to have a shot at the championship. This would also give the top ten a shot at participating in the playoffs. |
