Wacky Week 1 - We don't need no stinking preseason

Draft Rankings

For anybody curious (nobody) here are the draft ranking results:

Those silly auto-drafters are looking strong again. It's amazing what happens in the rankings when you automatically pick the highest ranked player available. I think the computers just like themselves.

We'll see how it plays out this year. My guess... Kendra goes 15-0 again. Of course, I'm only saying that to put a hex on her.

New Covid-19 Rules

100% of the people who voted in the poll liked the rule addition, so we're going to go forward with the set of new rules:

- If a game is cancelled/postponed or starting players are held out of game reasonably close to the games starting time due to a covid related reason (not a normal injury), bench players can be substituted under the following conditions:

- The substituted players must be from the same position group (ie RB for RB, WR for WR, even for flex spots) 

- The substituted players must be the player with the highest PROJECTED score.

- If you have no bench players eligible, you will receive a zero score for that position. 

- The substituted bench player must have been on your bench before the start of the game they participated in (this is the don't be a dick clause).

This is going to take some manual rooster editing on my behalf. Let me know if you have a player or players that need to be substituted. 

The big key here is the phrase "reasonably close to the games starting time" that I'll be paying attention to. 4 hours is reasonably close, 4 days is not. Just a warning.

Brandi & Kenneth

Erica & Mark

Are there going to be cheerleaders this year?

I just had a moment of panic. And now my worst fears are confirmed... no cheerleaders this year! This is a travesty! 

But at least I found this comment fitting.
