Please post any rules that you feel should be looked at this off season in order to better the league. Also providing some examples of how to change that rule would be greatly appreciated. The BOD will be going over all suggestions in a couple weeks to get any rule changes done before the start of RFA.

Eliminate the K and replace with another Offensive and Defense Flex

It's an interesting idea and we would have to talk about that because I feel there are teams like Greatest that invested high draft picks or large amounts of blb to kickers with multi year contracts. I think K is a pretty irrelevant player in this league since they changed the scoring a few years ago to tone down the amount of points they scored, but not sure how we could do away with them now. I don't have a K signed but others do.

I definitely like the idea of eliminating the kicker. I think compensatory picks or blbs could be given to the owners who have kickers under contract.

If we take kicker out, I say replace with CB position starter if possible. Hugely important position in real football. We might need to get creative on what to value differently for them...defended passes higher scored?

I agree that CB is becoming a much more important position in the NFL since the passing game seems to be a bigger role in the game as well. The only problem I see with making CB a position of its own is that separating them from DB would leave a limited amount of safeties to chose from for DB, kind of fall in the K problem with all teams not having an option for a starting safety their roster.
One thing I have thought about is that if we were to eliminate K then the starting spot should most likely be filled from the defense. It evens out the starting spots for both offense and defense (both sides of the ball would have 7 starting spots). I am not sure though how would be the best compromise to make this happen.
Also would like more examples of what compensation could be for teams with kickers signed. For example would 20 blb per kicker year on roster be enough compensation? Or, would teams rather have a compensatory pick instead of blb? Maybe a combination of both?
I am thinking this should be ironed out before RFA in order to give all teams a complete understanding of what they will need to have for their roster this year.

I think that this rule change should occur next year, play out this year with the rules the way they are, but have the new rule in place for next year so people can adjust teams for the future. Nothing needs to be a quick change but if we all know K is being eliminated and we will be adding a CB to our starters, hammer out scoring so everyone can be aware for next year. It may be an easier transition.....

The problem is good cbs don't get thrown at. You'd have to start lousy corners still to get any points.

It may be an easier transition..... Good idea, I think that taking the time to do this right will be best. As long as we know that K will not be a roster spot after this year then teams will have enough info for the RFA period. Still would like to have a definite answer and possible replacement position even if it is just a flex defense in the starting lineup so teams know that next year they will have to start another player from that position. |

Mama says, "kickers are the Devil".....IMHO, Get rid of the kickers, don't add anything, and do it this year. Compensatory picks for GMs that have kickers under contract.
Adding a CB position would be problematic for a lot of reasons. The worst being that people would actually be paying even more BLBs to pick up the Antoine Blakes of the world that are so bad at the position that they rack up tackles on the receivers they are covering. Two years ago, I picked him up on waivers. Pittsburgh was devastated with injury so they had to play him. He was ranked in the 80s at CB (not fantasy, but for real) which is actually below CBs that weren't even in the starting line-up. He racked up almost 500 points that year and was in the top 5 for DBs. Of course, at the end of the year, he was immediately released. I'm not suggesting a rule change for DB points, just stating the obvious that all of the DB starters in the league fall into two categories: good run-support tackling safeties and CB2 accidents where teams are forced to play woefully bad corners. Adding a CB position would only increase this unfortunate fact.

We've always planned via RFA or the draft to have a kicker that score 20 points per game. Looking at the game logs from last year it's doubtful we win our conference without Bailey. That being said if we eliminate the kicker he should be replaced with a flex player. I'd prefer it be on offense but it doesn't matter. Obviously I feel those of us who have kickers under contracts that spent blbs or high picks to get them should be compensated. However my primary objection about eliminating the kicker and not adding a flex player is that it weakens the teams who in some cases have spent years developing depth and the elimination of a roster spot makes that depth less important and this is a dynasty league after all. But hey, Joe is the defending champ and his kicker is even better than ours and he says dump the kicker so we're fine with whatever the BOD decides.

Kickers have always been a FF position. I wish we would get rid of the two kicker limit. I understand why we have it, but it would also value the position if teams can monopolize the position. Like The Greatest has done at QB. I hope we at least keep the position. I do not like the CB position because like it is said above the good ones do not get thrown at. Just my opinion, and I will go with what everyone else wants.

Yes we have decided to elimiated K, any kicker with years left on contract will be be given a late draft pick, and we are moving forth with a Def Flex position. But the max you will be able to play will remain the same so can only start max 3LBs, 3DL, or 3DBs
