We should have something about competitive teams, I've been playing with the wording, but along the lines of like "every team has to dress a full lineup of active players." So at the bare minimum you need a team of guys who are at least actively playing in the NFL.
And then the really grey area is like "teams that actively bench their best players in order in a long term pattern to tank", which is much much harder to see and monitor. IMO it's more about benching guys that sets it apart from anything else, but that's harder to notice/really enforce. Cooper is a great example cause yeah, he probably should have been in there over jj nelson or whoever, but also like, probably 60%+ of his owners have been benching him the last few weeks. And it would have to be at the discretion of the commishs.
I also don't like the idea of changing the drafting order. It would be really fun, but the draft order still is the best way for bad teams to rebuild. I honestly don't know what else we can really do though.
Bumping this because I think we can address the bolded part relatively easily. Another 2p2 dynasty league I just joined (Dan is in it too) has this rule, and it's pretty simple. If you don't dress a full lineup of active players you get penalized. And like, if you have a lot of byes and injured players, you have to pick someone up. Considering how deep our rosters are, this shouldn't be too difficult to do, honestly. And we can figure out what the penalty is (I think in the other league it's straight cash that goes into the winning pool, which actually is a nice penalty, I think).
The last part about fielding your best lineup I still don't know how you enforce or regulate.
