Its just the way the game works right now. You can switch Starters and Bench players anytime after the previous weeks games are over, but cannot have them 'come in' after a player sustains a mid-game injury. If you are starting 2 Running Backs (RB), you might only need 1 back up if they have staggered bye weeks for example, though most people like to keep 4, or even 5, RBs around. Its good to have a nice mix of players here so that you don't have to drop/add players every time someone has a bye week.

I pick those dates because Monday is a good day to submit claims for new free agents/waived players, Thursday is a good day for a mid-week health update and precedes Thursday Night Football, and Sunday morning lets you catch any late week injuries or adjustments.īench Players: These are your backups. I recommend a Monday, Thursday, and Sunday morning checkup on starters to make sure that they are healthy, going to play, and are still your best option for that week. Starting Players: Whoever is in this spot earns you points during the game week. These injured players won't count against your roster limit as long as they are on IR, but they may still count against your min/max numbers, so be sure you know the rules. IR spots are used for players who are out, how stringent the requirement is depends on the league. Some rosters include Injury Reserve (IR) spots. If you start 1 QB in your league, you might have a minimum of 1, and a maximum of 3, meaning you have to have 1, and can't have more than 3. For each position on your roster, take Quarterbacks (QB) for example, there is usually a minimum and maximum you can have on your total roster as well. Starting players score points for you during your game, whereas those on your bench do not.Though total bench points is sometimes used as a tie-breaker in scoring systems. What's in a Roster? You have starting players and you have bench/backup players. but who is scoring those points for you? Fantasy Football rosters are composed of any number of combination of players, where everything has value (except the offensive linemen, who never get any attention until they play as bad as ours). You understand the scoring system because of last week's stunning article, so now you are ready to go. So you are building or have joined a fantasy football league. Without further adieu, let's start team building. We are going to look at everything from Quarterbacks to Head Coaches, Individual Defensive Players and Independent Special Team units.I may even mention Kickers and Punters.

Today's article in the Fantasy Football 101 series will break down rosters - what positions you can have, how they work, and some of the impacts it can have on a league. Look for Fantasy Billboard every week in the Daily News and a separate column at back again everyone.

This season I am teaming up with, the finest source for Seasonal, DFS (Daily Fantasy Sports) and Sports Gaming advice. If issues arise, table them for next year. No adjustments to any league rules should be allowed after the draft starts. Plus, you should have known better - the owner who took Diggs calls his team Stephon the Gas. Don’t throw your cheat sheets across the room. But on draft day, another owner snags him just before you pick. Every time, Stephon Diggs was available in the second round. You did 1,000 mock drafts during the summer. He will be Manning’s backup.” HOOKED ON STEPHONICS

Then in the next round, be sure to grab Geno Smith. I know he’s retired, but I just read on this new hot Fantasy blog that Manning is signing with Seattle for his big comeback. “What do I think of Joe Burrow in the next round? Are you crazy? I would be all over Peyton Manning with your next pick. When a fellow owner asks my opinion at the draft, do what I do LIE TO THEIR FACE.
