Since the NFL season will be 18 weeks, how about running the fantasy season from weeks 2 to 17?

Let week 1 be an evaluation week for our teams. Sorta like preseason is for the NFL.

Maybe do a DFS style payout for the top week 1 score, but let the season long records start at week 2
I can't see people going for that. I'd rather keep it weeks 1-16 because there won't be players getting rested in week 16, almost guaranteed.

I may be a curmudgeon, but I don't like expanding the regular season to 17 games. It's tough enough for players to last the full 16 games today. I understand that it's quite a bit more revenue though.

I really don't like expanding the playoffs. We already see 8-8 teams make it, a 7-9 team once. These will be more common now. What I love about the NFL is you have to be very good to make the post season. In the NHL, you just have to show up and odds are you advanced to the playoffs. It's diluted and not impressive.

It does put a greater emphasis on going for the best record possible though with just the 1 bye per conference instead of 2. History has shown how important the bye is for your chances of making the SB, so that will make the #1 seed even more sought after than before.

My co commish and I have been discussing it, and we are likely not going to change our Fantasy season for year 1 of the 17 game season, until we see how teams handle the resting of players late in the year.

I know another commish I've spoken to has no plans of changing them, either. He also pointed out that in the new CBA, training camp is going from 28 practices to 16. We both agree September football is going to be terrible quality as a result.
Exactly what I announced to my leagues.

They may be adding a 2nd bye week also. Which would give us 19 weeks for 17 weeks of football. This would allow for the Super Bowl to be on Presidents Day weekend which everyone seems to want.
QB- R. Wilson, Garoppolo, Fields, Ridder, Rudolph, Hooker
RB- Ekeler, Mostert, Pacheco, Dillon, Dobbins I/R
WR- Metcalf, Pickens, Higgins, DJ Moore
TE- Kincaid, Higbee
K- Aubrey
Def- Denver, Pittsburgh





No PPR, Start 2 QBs, 2 RBS, 2 WRS, 1 TE, 1 FLEX,1 K, 1 DEF/ST. 6 pts all touchdowns

We want the Super Bowl on President's day weekend? I just want it on a Saturday.
