Offseason free agency

Postby Yung Don » Fri Jul 18, 2014 5:17 am

In dynasty leagues, how do you guys set up offseason player drops and pickups? Originally I was thinking of locking all rosters from the superbowl until the rookie draft, and then piling all unrostered players with rookies for an annual draft every may. Does anybody use FCFS all offseason, and then only draft rookies in the spring? I'm curious because FCFS seems a little intense during the NFL free agency period, where players values can skyrocket or plunge depending on their new situation. Perhaps a system with more checks and balances will ensure that one team can't just snag as many players as possible before a weaker team can during NFL free agency. What works for you guys?

In my league FA locks following fantasy season, the rookie/FA draft occurs in late May, then blind bid waivers open and clear right before preseason. They then lock again during preseason, with blind bid waivers again processing once preseason ends. This ensures everyone gets a chance at all the guys depending on their willing to bid price instead of 'I got here 10 seconds before you when the news broke'.

I am happy with how my league works:

Adds are locked after the fantasy season ends. They are locked until after the rookie/FA draft which takes place after the third week of pre-season games. Drops and trades are open all year.
