Why does the NFL have 4 teams off many weeks but 6 on week 6 and 7? Are they screwing with us? Will they change it on Labor Day just to mess with fantasy football?

I don't know, but you can be sure it is to do with money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but you can be sure it is to do with money. 1407950[/snapback] Sure, but they decided to have 4 teams per week most weeks and 2 weeks with 6 rather than 4 weeks with 5 teams on a bye. That's the trouble drafting in January, but still 6 teams on a bye does seem like too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 rather than 4 weeks with 5 teams on a bye. 1408705[/snapback] You can't do 5 teams on a bye with a 32-team league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 You can't do 5 teams on a bye with a 32-team league. 1408711[/snapback] Yeah that's right. Perhaps they should go from week 2-10 then(or 3-11). 8 weeks would be 4 teams per week. I may just plan for a loss rather than re-shuffling my team.

Nate Dawg Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yeah that's right. Perhaps they should go from week 2-10 then(or 3-11). 8 weeks would be 4 teams per week. I may just plan for a loss rather than re-shuffling my team. 1408731[/snapback] You'd only need to have byes on weeks 3-10 with 4 off per week to get all 32 teams, which is what they did last year, I believe. My guess is this had something to do with ensuring all teams were playing on the weeks of the NBC "flexible" scheduling, but I could be wrong.

jgcoach Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Those two weeks are killing me in my dynasty leagues, not that losing some of my players will actually hurt, they need to score before being on a bye actually effects the team in any way.

major-tom Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I wonder if it's better to have 1 or 2 brutal bye weeks to deal with rather than 3 or 4. You take your lumps, probably a loss or 2 but have your good players for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With six teams off for two straight weeks, you can be sure that it will affect everyone at least some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some owners who would rather have their studs out at the same time for this reason. Don't think I'd put this in my top 5 of draft criteria, but it's something to think about in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just plan for a loss rather than re-shuffling my team. 1408731[/snapback] i also think people put to much into bye weeks... how many undefeated seasons have you ever had or known anyone to have? taking the WR lumps in one week means you will be full force the rest of the year rather then maybe having 3 off one week 2 another etc and that could effectively weaken you for multiple weeks Edited April 7, 2006 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I have another league that byes arent my enemy but rebuilding is my enemy currently my starting lineup looks like Mike McMahon KFaulk Krob Burleson Engram LJ Smith WInslow Kaeding JAllen Stroud Pierce Ulbrich Bockwoldt STaylor Demps SWilliams talk about a rebuild I sent the follwing all packing recently let someone else worry about their bye weeks Hasslebeck Holt Dillon Ward Strahan JHenderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedroz13 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 ClevelandGB Indy Jax Minnesota New England are you kidding me? 6 teams. It's costing my my top 6 WR's. 1407707[/snapback] Harrison, Javon (might not be a Packer), Braylon? Jimmy Smith? Branch? If those are your WRs, it might be a blessing that they are all on the same week. Take the loss that one week and then you will have them all season long. Sometimes I prefer having all my studs on the same bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
