No, I think it just means everyone must have 2-each Kickers and Defenses.

Alternately, I would favor a taxi squad or injured reserve.

You only really need one backup spot for Kicker and Defense.

You would only use that backup for the Defense or Kicker bye week.

Say, one extra slot that has to be filled with either a kicker or a defense.

ACK!

what if your kicker is on the same team as your defense?

Ugh, what is it with people who want extended benches? Yeah, a backup K and D are good, but there is nothing preventing someone from saying I don't want a backup D after their first bye and pick another skill position player, resulting in more stockpiling.

This was exactly the reason I proposed having only one RB or a RB/WR position instead of 2nd RB. It's a REAL problem having to pick 2 RB per team and then having some people stockpiling or having a better waiver position to snatch up the real life backup. Many leagues have seen starting RBs get hurt which destroys their entire team, because they can't get a suitable backup.

A smaller bench goes a way to prevent that.

Regarding the bench issue, I repeat that I was just stirring the pot. I can easily live within the rules that were in force when we started the draft. Personally, I like long benchess, which (if I surmise correctly) encourages trades and rewards depth of knowledge (as if I that might apply to me... ).

Ok, here is a compromise.

16 players (8 starting, 8 bench)

HOWEVER, for the bench you MUST select QB, RB, WR, TE, K, D and then have 2 Wild Card picks. That way you can get your extended bench, but have SOME limit on stockpiling?

What do you guys think?

Would that player then be at risk of being claimed by someone else? Yes. quote: If so, then I think we should have reserves drafted for Kicker and Defense, too. Heck, why not? -- it would just be 2 rounds of BAPAY. Are you saying that everyone has to draft a one Kicker and Team D for the bench? After all, though.. a backup RB can fill in for EITHER RB spot. You don't need two backup RBs and I think plenty in this league will only have one backup RB or WR.

unless 2 of your RB's have byes the same week. I had that problem last year. I didn't compare bye weeks when drafting.

seeing as we are set in our starting positions, we may as well keep our draft #.

Smaller benches are tough to manage. But this is rewarding to those who do the research on bye weeks and such. This should introduce more strategy into this game
