2014 SOI Keeper Fantasy Football League

[Kid]

So, I'm going to beat Rapp by the skin of my teeth - officially 1 point, with the backup that I'd have won the game on a tiebreaker if we had finished tied (which we would have except for Rodgers' kneel to end the game) because I won our regular season matchup.

 

So the fact that BT didn't play a full team last week turns out to be no harm, no foul this year, because Clapp should have played Rapp in the 3-6 game to play me as the 2 seed.  Clapp would have easily won and then it would be me vs. him in the 2-3 game, and that's how it turns out anyways.

 

However, I believe we absolutely must deal with the issue of teams who are out of it not fielding complete teams going forward.  I think there should be the possibility of losing or having to swap draft picks if that happens going forward.  I think it probably has to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.  But, I'll be honest and say that my position, had Rapp beaten me, was going to be that, at minimum, BT should have had to trade his first round pick with me next year.

 

I'm not going to push for any kind of sanction for what happened to me since we didn't have a rule and it didn't hurt me in the long run, but I think we need to figure it out going forward, and I'm not sure that the possibility of having some kind of sanction imposed should be limited to situations where a player gets lucky and doesn't get hurt by it.

 

I think this needs a lengthy discussion because we need a rule on this.
