Heyas, Fellas! At the 2018 Summer Meeting & Draft we came to the determination that for any single week a lineup is missed we will let it cascade and for any consecutive week a lineup is missed we will defer to a website that provides weekly rankings/projections and just go down the list. For the latter, the website I have chosen because they are (arguably) the biggest name in the business and they provide projections -- and specific fantasy points -- along with the rankings (which we need because, for one, we include tight ends as receivers) is NFL.com and their weekly projections/rankings available at: http://fantasy.nfl.com/research/projections.
Hopefully we never have to defer to this...  |

Well, first and foremost, good work, Steve! Looks good! I definitely am open-minded on the matter. The main merit of Steve's new schedule is equity across the bye weeks. It comes with the price of a sluggish midseason schedule, of which both Steve and I made mention. That could have an upside, though, in fact. More to the core of the matter is that that equity is really just in theory. Indeed, only to the degree that participants knowingly factored in bye weeks when acquiring players would such schedule equity achieve any proportional degree of actual equity. In fact, the schedule as it is may achieve a higher degree of equity in reality, that is to say, in relation to the actual makeup of the rosters of the teams in the league. This is the age-old debate between idealism and realism, indeed. Can human intellectual constructs ever really achieve what they endeavor to? The idealist hopes so. The realist thinks not really.
But, I digress... It is clear that this matter merits thorough and careful consideration, and I think not just by me but by us, and not only do I not have the time to devote the required attention to this at this point, others may not, and we as a group surely do not. I do want to deal with this democratically. But, the season, indeed, is upon us. Moreover, (I did not tell yous about this, but) Gino and I are anticipatively going to work on improving the automation of the GBRFL scoring spreadsheet this season. Upon further consideration, a massive change to the schedule on top of those efforts is just going to be too much.
So, I am going to table this for 2018 and postpone it for 2019. That said, progress has been made. Steve's efforts have given us a great foundation to work from for next year. I say that sometime later in the season or during the offseason we will forward out the schedule Steve crafted, and then we get to it!
As for this year, the schedule will be what has been posted, which is the same schedule we have been using for years, save for the movement of that one "1 vs. 10" game from Week 5 to Week 1.
Sound good, folks?
On a different, but related note... The following did warm my heart...

That is to say, the Draft is TOMORROW!!! 
You can find the Draft thread on the "between the 20's" board. Here is a direct link:

Also, here is a direct link to "the Gridiron" chatroom:

I will resend the conference-call information, but the number and system will be the same one we used for the lottery, so you can consult that email as well.
Other than that, see yous TOMORROW around 5:00 p.m. (ET), 11:00 a.m. my time... |
