Here's the problem with having multiple bye week players -- yes, even in a points league:
* Your starting lineup is made up of 6 RBs/WRs (unless you have Gates and Heap or something like that)
* Your bench consists of various players who can be used in a bye week. These are your 7th, 8th, 9th etc best players at RB, WR and occasionally TE
* If one of your top 6 players have their bye, you are likely to use your 7th best player
* If two of your top 6 players have their bye in the same week, you are likely to use your 7th and 8th best players
* If three of your top 6 players have their bye in the same week, you are likely to use your 7th, 8th and 9th best players
* Yes, it is true that the 8th or 9th best player always has a chance to outperform the 7th best player. However, in all likelihood, your best bye-week lineup (i.e. the one that will score you the most POINTS) consists of using 5 of your Top 6 players, plus your 7th player
Hope I'm not revealing too much strategy here... Understood KOQ, but when you are talking about Robert Ferguson and Cedrick Wilson does it really matter???
Honestly, I would rather just play them in one week together, so I wouldn't have to decide which ONE to start!
My luck the "other" guy would go off.I personally don't think it is that much of an issue (in a head to head, I would be giving up a week, but in a points league it isn't a big deal due to the reasons you stated), but Gekko has made a "mountain out of a mole hill" because he is pissed about his QB situation and he thinks I was one of the main reasons behind it.
Cest la vie!
