You picked the right place to solicit players to join an “everyone gets a trophy” league.

lol how is it an everyone gets a trophy league? Sounds good though. Although not as good as a "I hope everyone's RB's tear their ACL's so I can win" league or a "hey let's all pretend we're hobos on a train car fighting over the one bottle of booze" league

But hey, if you think luck should win leagues I cant argue with you, Alpha.

Luck is what losers call it when others outplay them.

Fantasy football literally made gambling more accessible. I’m not surprised one but it’s so popular or pervasive.

It's not just about injuries. The NFL has changed in terms of specialization. Fantasy football didnt. There are tons of viable wr's

Then change the way RBs score, don’t treat RB like defense where you just eliminate the entire position group from the actual game.

Being able to draft backups and use your free agent acquisition budget takes planning and strategy. Luck is taking Terrell Davis and being guaranteed Olandis Gary upon injury. In my leagues, the guy that rostered Olandis Gary worked harder and took risk. Your setup cultivates lucky outcomes more than it avoids them.

When your RB drives down the field and then a backup comes in one play, vultures a one yard td and basically scores more on that drive than the starter, that's what...skill?

We're not gonna agree on this. You're fine with three quarters of a RB here, a half a RB there. I'm not.

You know who else does that “Team QB” or “Team RB” stuff?  First-time fantasy players.  Generally a group of women who drink wine on draft night and focus on anything but football.

You read this in Esquire, right?

So I guess back in the day when the team's main RB was doing almost all of the scoring, that was women too, right?

Best Ball you get the best performances from your roster don't even have to put in lineups. That's for nine year old girls in sleepaway camp.

Alpha males as far as the eye can see! 

Like it' so ******* hard to figure out who the best backups are. Or to figure out who the best non starter RB's are. Like it's not already in the rankings of every draft on every site.

The choice to draft/pick-up the short yardage RB while looking at his TD potential vs. ADP is research and roster mgmt skill, yes.

Being the guy that has the “between the 20’s” RB and calling it bad luck is lazy. You should have looked closer at your scoring format before taking a RB that gets yanked on the goal line.

My leagues award points for carries, catches and yardage to make that type of RB valuable regardless of TDs.

Same concept as PPR, 5 Carrie’s = 1 point. Do the math and have a competitive league.

Or, just keeping doubling down on patty cake football and getting trolled.

I think @Gastineau Lives owes the ape something for the constant bumping of this thread.  OTOH, I don't know how you guys define spectacle, but I do not see one here.
