One thing about the 6th spot going to the next highest scoring team...matchups dictate a lot. For example, a team has to play one of the best teams twice in a year while other teams don't have to. And somebody gets to play the worst teams in the league twice when other teams dont get to.
For that reason, I would like to discuss the 6th spot going to higher scorers in the offseason.

I am still thinking about it. Sometimes I see DEF score high and they really didnt do s**t. Or they do a lot and dont end up with much because of point settings...which not all points are attributed the DEF. It doesnt calculate that way.

I for one think its fine as is. There is no perfect science here. Now you could make it more NFL like and only give a bye week to one team. Then the 7th team can be the high scorer. The #2 team gets screwed but same thing NFL moved to.

There simply arent enough good quarterbacks, and not enough NFL teams.
In week 7 this season, there were 6 teams on the bye. That means there were 26 starting QBs during that week. If we had a superflex, 24 of a possible 26 starting QBs would be starting fantasy QBs. And if teams have to start 2 QBs every week, almost everyone would want to have at least 3 QBs rostered. That would mean theres a good chance that multiple teams would not have a 2nd usable QB to start.
It just doesnt make sense. There arent enough QBs period, let alone good ones.

I thought you were going to mention an injury to a
QB and then losing out on waiver pick up , essentially ruining your team .
Super flex does let you start non QBs
i guess you could make it where QBs can't score as
much so people don't feel pigeon holed into having 3 QBs

QB injuries are also a major factor in this, but it was already mentioned.

F superflex IMO, I think our DEF settings are ok. I would rather discuss making this a keeper rather than any roster/scoring settings. Happy how it is though

We killed the keeper league when I took it over. We aren't going back. I hate keeper leagues. I'd quit my own league

I honestly thought I would be the only one not wanting to do a keeper

Only change I want is the IR spot to include "out" designations

The best keeper league I was in, you couldn't keep anyone drafted in first 9 rounds.(only one keeper. Tried to make it 2 one year and it diluted the draft too much )
makes the 10th round way more interesting with lots of rookies going .
league died bc a bunch of Trumpers wanted to boycott the NFL
