Here we go... football starts Thursday, so fantasy football starts Thursday as well, and this year i'll be running an 18 team USFL version. Every team has only 6 positions on the roster with no backups... QB, RB, WR, TE, K, and D/ST. When a player hits his bye week, i'll plug in a player (the teams record will dictate who gets the better player off the reserve list if there are more than one team that needs a bye filled). Then, the player will be dropped back into the reserve pool after the regular starters bye week is over. I had to think long and hard to figure this system out just so i could have all 18 USFL teams from 1984 (the math dictated that there really should only be 16 teams so every team could have at least 2 possible starters per position - since there are 32 NFL teams). I think it'll work fine, and i'm looking forward to it.
Here's a picture i made for the cover of my fantasy notebook.... i took pictures of my mini helmets to create it. It's just cool enough that i bet i see it pop up as profile pics on facebook USFL groups, as some of my other USFL helmet photos have been.... oh well, at least my helmets are being seen by people:)
Go for it!!
