I've been in this 12 team league for 17 years and we've decided, amid all the uncertainty, to postpone our league for the first time since, well ever...

I'm bummed and maybe we'll all regret it if the NFL is able to complete a season without high profile starters being out. Injuries are one thing sure, but I can't imagine having a top tier team and losing Mahomes, or Saquan for 2 weeks because of Covid.

I mean, it's still football. Unless it's an insanely expensive league, I think it'd be fun no matter what COVID does.

It might actually make for a more interesting season. More roster shakeups is a good thing.

My thoughts exactly, the guys just no the "names" and not all of the players, might be in trouble.

I can see that side of it, but with "can't cut" players extending through the 2nd round and our minimal rosters and bench, we don't feel like it's worth it. Especially when a 3rd string DB from a directional school could easily infect the entire defense because he was chasing tail on a off day.

We are having 5 IR spots this year. That was only big change. If the league goes to hell before week 8 we are just refunding everything. After week 8 but before title game week wil pay out based on place and points.

I've only had one league I'm in decide to skip this year. The others I'm in are expanding IR spots to help deal with covid, but yeah I expect this year to come down to luck way more than any previous year even did.

I'll probably play but my heart isn't really in it this year. I don't even really feel like going to a draft...if we have one live.

That's a pretty shitty way to decide things. What happens if someone is dominating the league?

Tough shit then. Fantasy seasons aren't 8 weeks long.

If I put money in a league and I'm wiping the floor with a bunch of scrubs, I would be very upset if some crybaby wants a do-over after half a season.

Zero justification for being upset if the rules are clearly laid out before the season starts.

Imo it makes no sense to payout a winner if the season ends up being like 6 games total
