I'm cool with expanding to 14 teams, but if we do we MUST cut down on bench spots. I played in a league last year with 14 teams and 6 bench spots - it was ugly. Seriously, we were fighting over the likes of John Kuhn.

If we go to 14, drop the bench spots to 4 or 5.


That's fine by me. I don't need six spots.

That's true Insurrection, but Javarris James? Anthony Dixon? Keiland Williams? LaRod Stephens-Howling? Ruvell Martin?

Me, neither. I was wasting at least one of my bench spots for half the season thanks to Sidney's surgery.

Exactly. These are all players on the final rosters of last year's 14-team league I mentioned.

It got real ugly, yo.

12 is a good number. It prevents people from building super teams which get boring. But it keeps a good amount of players left available to pick up during the season.... I understand the added challenge but its already there, with 14 if you are unlucky to have your first pick get injured, well you're screwed. Its a long drop from say, Maurice Jones-Drew to Jason Snelling or something.

12 is the ideal number in any fantasy sport.

I've done as much as 16 in a fantasy football league and 24 in a fantasy baseball league. Talk about trying to get all the meat off bones.

Hey guys, I cant do 2:30PM EST, I live in Australia, so that is like 4:30AM for me. The earliest I could do would be 7PM EST, which is 9AM for me. So if you guys could do it at that time (or later if you want), that'd be good, otherwise it might be best if you replace me.

Anytime next weekend is fine with me, and if its during 7 p.m. EST on Sunday I will be at home so that's preferable to do it at night.

I've been studying hard! Putting together a draft board, researching round strategy, analyzing every possible sleeper, matching up bye weeks, and doing a ton of mock drafts. Last year was a down year but we've fired the last Head Coach and brought in a True football genius to return our franchise back to glory!

Depends. Mass is an hour, but by time it ends and I get home it will be about 7:30 CST.

EDIT: Yeah, I can do 7 EST/6 CST.
