Latest rumor is he will be released and possibly banned for life from the NFL!

I think his big motivation is his disappointment that Clev. traded him... I think he planned on staying there until he retired. They told him they were building a franchise around him. I see him as a top three RB this week... Lynch killed SF last week.

I have him in nine leagues & plan on starting him this weekend... since I drafted him in the first round in all nine of them. Come on, how hard is it to learn the plays as a RB? A WR is a different animal, but a RB does three things. He blocks on pass plays, runs on running plays, and he blocks & then fades out to the side or down field when the QB plans on passing to him. All QBS have an immediate familiarity with RBs...whereas it takes much more time with receivers.

David Wilson...only because I drafted him a bit too early in several of my drafts and my reputation could be damaged if he isn't!

Super input guys...much appreciated!

It would be nice to see all those great players back in the draft...at this point I would even like getting rid of the keepers for good. Thanks for the input!

I have been involved with a "keeper league" the last three years where you are allowed to keep three offensive players, one defense or kicker, and three individual defensive players. The problem is that there is no limit as to how long you can keep them. So come draft time, you never see AP, Brees, Rogers, CJ, Chi, SF, JJ Watt, P. Willis, etc... So it is more like a mini-dynasty league than a real keeper league. Is it reasonable to have the league take a vote to change it to something fair...like a two year keeper limit? Your suggestions and input are very much appreciated.

Ironically, I wasn't the big move maker with my 70 + moves in 9 games. Another guy in our league already has over 120 moves & he had done the same thing last year as well. I don't feel like an outsider in this league. The problem seems to be that everyone thinks the commissioner should be given 100% power in the league because he was the one that started it up 2.5 years ago & they feel he has the most experience with how to run a FFB league. Ironically, he is the first guy to admit he has been accused of being called names such as "Bud the Nazi commissioner Selig" in the past! I am guessing this isn't the first time he has "fixed" a problem midseason with a mid season rule change that never came to a vote. I honestly think his intentions have always been good and he just doesn't understand appropriate commissioner etiquette. I know he isn't going to listen to my suggestions & the other managers just assume he knows what he is doing. Therefore, I am hoping that the responses you guys have offered will carry more weight than what I say to him as well as to the others in my league. Our league is called the "no pride" league and the guy that makes the most moves every year has changed his team name to "nofunnow" after the cap rule was started.

I totally agree that the ultimate goal is to have fun in FFB. The "don't be a dick rule" seemed to be violated by my commissioner even though his waiver rule will improve our league significantly. A team vote would have approved this rule and prevented many problems but the rule could have been changed for the next season rather than the middle of this one. The same thing goes for the cap rule. I am in four leagues this year and I plan on giving your input to the commissioners of several of them. One of these leagues charges for all moves and the other three have no cap or waiver rule...so it is first come first serve with FA you see doing well on game day. Unless Yahoo has a specific option I don't know about, Huddler all pro, when yo pick up a FA on Yahoo the player goes back to FA if you drop him within 24 hours & the player goes to waivers if you drop him anytime after 24 hours. IF it they did go back to FA when you dropped them in less than a week...that would be better and would solve the roster churning.

Thanks for the input MothAudio! I spent 20 years in Columbus, Ohio & football is the main topic there...most of the time. The cap on moves doesn't really bother me as much as some in the league. The bigger elephant in the room is the fact the commish made rule changes mid season...in a league that has had the same rules for 2.5 seasons. Now next season...a low cap on moves of say 50 would probably bother me a lot. Also, I think we should have a rule in place to prevent roster shuffling...perhaps $3-5 for any player you pick up and drop the same week.

I like the $ per move idea!

Was there really any need for him to change the rules half way through this season? There were three of us with high numbers of moves...45, 72 (me), and 130. The guy with 45 is leading the league at 7-2 but myself and the other guy with 130 moves are tied for 7th at 4-5. No one but the commish ever complained about the large number of moves some of us made. Is making a lot of moves really that big of a deal ...especially since he had tolerated it for 2.5 years. Not that is necessarily had anything to do with it, but I did win the league last year and the guy with over 120 moves already this year had almost as many last year when he finished in the final four. The commish has been playing FFB for ten years and said he has never seen anyone make so many moves as some of us managers in this league. Is there usually a cap on the number of moves per season? THis is one of those leagues where the veterans believe in "playing your studs every game" whereas I have found that sometimes a bad matchup requires looking for an alternative...thus all the moves.

Not as certain about the move cap though. lol

I agree the waiver rule is fair!

I picked up Goodsen Sunday after McFadden got hurt. Dropped Goodsen an hour later...as he got hurt. Goodsen went back to FA...not Waivers. Will not be able to make those quick pickups with the new waiver system rules.Every player on waivers from game time to Tuesday.
