My main issue with this is that I'm not sure what the problem is with people not fielding a team after week 13. If you are out of the playoffs, you aren't hurting anyone else's chances by fielding a crap team, so the integrity of the league doesn't suffer. If we are really worried about tanking, a much easier solution which would address the problems you had with me starting a hurt WR would be simply to give the #1 pick to the team that finishes in 7th place overall, which is the best team to miss the playoffs. Give the #2 pick to the #8 team, 3rd pick to 9 and 4th pick to 10. Then reverse order 6 through 1 as we do now. That way that teams that are out of it will continue to field the best teams they can in order to secure a better draft pick, and they will do it when their actions will actually have an impact on the rest of the league.
I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
