Said player then gets allocated to the eliminated team and is out of use for the remainder of this season. Interesting extra level, or ******ed? Do we snap up players like Guice, McKinnon, Eifert, Jimmy G now who won't be on active rosters, do we do similar with the likes of Lamar Jackson (or a couple of weeks earlier, Chubb) as pre-emptive pickups, or do we wait to shoot our load later in the season when more and more talented players end up on waivers?
I don't think that would be as fun. The best part about this league, IMO, is stacking your team along the way with the best players. The bidding strategy easy week is interesting to me, and adding in a team that will win a player that isn't played just doesn't give any extra allure, and makes it less fun. I'm very interested to see what the final 4 teams look like.
