PLEASE PLEASE..... next year can we just do 2 10 man leagues? I've totally lost interest in this league. You're basically stuck with the team you drafted. It's impossible to get sleepers b/c they were all drafted in round 7. Table scraps are better than people left on the waivers.

I'm having a much better time with the 2 other teams I'm running since they're 10 and 12 man leagues.

Next year maybe 2 12 man leagues will be the way we go, but really, why does every league have to be the same?

20 team leagues are fun to me. I guess if you either draft like **** or have a lot of injuries it can suck though, but 8 teams make the playoffs so you'll be in til the end if you keep at it.

Tbh, with a 20 team league, if you're team is even the slightest below average, a waiver wire pickup is almost never going to work.

Everyone has the 2nd and even 3rd string backups of running backs who don't share the load at all. Even if you had an ok draft, you pretty much know from the start, whether your team is good enough to be a top team.

It's one thing to be the last team out of 12, be first one the waiver wire, and pick up the top backup who is replacing an injured starter, cuz then you have a realistic chance of making a comeback during the season.

However, if you're the last of 20 and the first on the waiver wire, it doesn't really matter who you pick up cuz you're not going to come back.

My sentiments exactly. It's not like there's even anyone who will make an impact for your team on the waiver let alone FA. Recently dropped John Kuhn for Ronnie Brown :-? In other leagues, at least you still might be able to get a guy like James Jones, Mike Tolbert, Mario Manningham, etc. from FA.

Suggestions for next year:
- 2 10 man or 12 man leagues. We can even have a lottery to determine who's going to be in which league.
- Keep one flex as W/R/T and remove the other one.
- Add a defensive player position to replace the removed flex spot to keep it interesting.
