so you wouldn't have a problem with peyton manning (#5 qb), joseph addai (#4 rb), or reggie bush (#6 rb) being dropped???? being in the industry 20+ years musta fried your brain! [/QUOTE]All those are elite players at the time of the occurrence. Using this year's ranking as the only criteria is pretty shortsighted.

The point is just elite players, especially if they are 100% healthy all year. So that means no dropping Peyton until he's #10 two years-in-a-row.

Good try Billy but administering the game itself and the interpretation of the rules must be done by the owners of the challenge. Involving "players" in this process would not be kosher.

Greg and Tom are the only ones who should be making these decisions.

A committee would be a good idea moving forward to discuss ways to make this process better next year.

First it should be clarified that the issue is not "no drop" but "frozen from pickup". Anybody can drop anybody.

I think a fixed rule would be much easier to administer. Any player with any of the following cannot be subsequently taken from the WW:

1. Drafted in the first "n" rounds. I suggest n=5.

2. Player who is currently ranked at or better than

14th QB
28th RB
28th WR
6th TE

3. K's and D's are exempt from the rule.

The exact numbers are not as important as the fact that the rule is clear and there won't be pages of threads of why or why not a player has enough "stuff" or "potential stuff" to warrant being frozen. I think this is very good.

...and the fact nobody replied to this post speaks volumes.

Lance,

The only problem with ranking players based on points is what if a player has been out for say 7 weeks and comes back?

Example: Say LT misses weeks 2-8 next year and is dropped by someone. Before week 9 he may only have 20 points and nowhere near the top of the list. Should he be allowed to be picked up? (likely a bad example but you get what I mean)

A cut and dried rule may only be a pipe dream but with a good discussion we may be able to get close. JPs example is a nice start.

Question: would this apply to every week of FA moves or just after a certain point in the season?
