The injury toll this year is beyond crazy and its only week 5. Heck Holmes gets hurt in pregame warmups today.

I'm sorry to Greg and Tom for bringing up ANOTHER proposal for change, BUT...

Would a 20 man roster help these problems? I mean the NFBC goes BALLS DEEP into their rosters. Why not NFFC? Maybe an addition of a roster spot or two would help make some room for injuries next year. Any thoughts?

Hell, Diesel, I've got so many injuries on some of my teams, I can't even fill a squad on a draft champions league. This year, it appears, the winner will come from the teams that can limit themselves to one or two injuries. I agree on an additional spot or two. Some teams are going to have to drop some studs who are injured just to field a viable team to keep up.

The 14 team format constrains rosters to 18. The only way to increase is by lowering the teams per league.

If these injuries keep up, I don't know how the playoff teams are going to make it 4 weeks without any faab moves
Is my "weekend warrior" prep better than your prep?

Gekko, from what you posted, did you mean that we CAN'T have more players on a team? What would the implications be, by adding another spot or two in the draft?

This is just ridiculous. I thought it couldn't get any worst.

Round 1 - Westbrook - injured
Round 2 - Harrison - injured
Round 3 - A. Johnson - injured
Round 4 - Jamal Lewis - injured after 1 carry today.
Round 5 - Julius Jones - sucks
Round 6 - Bernard Berrian - just went out injured
Round 7 - Vernon Davis - injured

I'm ready to wave the white flag this year!
