The Sunday of Labor Day Weekend after all preseason games are over. Works well for our league. All owners in our league have no life outside of fantasy football.

Agree! We've been with CBS for 14 years and now switching to MFL. We're very customized league -- scoring, head-to-head doubleheaders customized schedule, blind bid waivers. Nothing that free site could handle. Appears MFL will handle well. Years ago when we looked at MFL, it was lacking in security area whereby commissioner could view pending waiver claims of all owners. Now they have the feature to turn off commissioner access to the owner's menus. MFL just seems to keep enhancing their site while CBS keeps going backwards. Plus MFL will give you 50% off this year for coming over from CBS. Good deal. We're going to at least give it a try this year. The "new look" CBS site isn't an improvement IMO and now they took away the CBS message boards too.

After 14 years with CBS, we decided to switch to MFL this year -- even before the "new look" CBS site came out the other day. Now very glad we decided to make the switch. CBS keeps changing all their looks but can't seem to accommodate requests to add features such as Blind Bid Waivers followed by first-come first-served free agents. Asked for that for years and I know other leagues did as well. They just ignore the requests. Instead they keep taking features away like the fantasy message boards this year. Guess they didn't like seeing complaints on their own message boards. That's OK -- we can still complain about CBS here. I suspect CBS must be losing quite a bit of money on their fantasy sports sites and will keep going downhill as they lay off staff.

Excellent suggestion. This is the way we set it up and it works fine.

LOL. And don't forget Curtis Enis

Then why is your rule to wait 48 hours? I'd suggest next year you change it to 24 hours. And leave this trade process under the 48-hour rule that you've established for this year, meaning it won't process until Week 11 games. The parties involved knew the rules when they made the trade.

Swirvenirvin is correct -- Greene left with head injury.

For the good of the league by preventing a freebie pickup for another team, I would restore Boldin to his roster and trust that it was an honest mistake on his part. Just remember it then becomes a precedent for future drop mistakes though.

Given Williams' 11 targets last week, I would take him over Clayton. StL offense is a mess and Clayton is coming off a very serious injury. I still think it's going to take a lot of time for Clayton to get back to last year's form.

I was just thinking from the perspective if you had a big week but faced the top-scoring H2H opponent, at least by having a doubleheader, you'd likely come out 1-1 for the week instead of 0-1. Or on the other end where you had a terrible week but were fortunate enough to go H2H against the lowest scoring opponent in the league, then 1-1 is at least a better reflection (as far as the league standings are concerned) of your performance than 1-0. I just think the more doubleheader games you have, the more "accurate" your league standings will be in determining the division winners/playoff teams.

Why do you say that? What's wrong with using the same lineup against two H2H opponents?

We use CBS and have 15-team, 3 division setup with regular season lasting 13 weeks. During those 13 weeks, each team ends up with 5 doubleheaders staggered throughout the season so that the regular season is 18 games head-to-head. By having 18 games, each team can then play the 4 teams in their own division twice and all teams outside its division once. Works great. Even adding just the 5 extra games improves the problem you mentioned with just playing 1 game per week.

It's been about 4 years since I last looked at MFL. At the time the customization was great, but then I came across one problem -- as Commissioner, I was able to view all the other teams' queued up waiver picks and knew that wasn't going to fly with the rest of the league. And MFL said at the time that's just how it works -- commissioner has access to pretty much everything so that they can do anything for any team if they need to. So then never did switch to MFL. Don't know if they've locked down some of those commissioner functions yet nor not.

I agree with Matt Mueller above. I like TB's easy schedule. Would rather have Blount than Torain given Redskins' schedule.
