PROP. 219: TWO FLEX SPOTS IN YOUR LINEUP

Let's add a second Flex position to our lineups. An extra flex spot would have us start 10 players each week (1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 FLEX, 1 K, 1 DST). There are two benefits to an extra FLEX spot. 1. With the chance to include an extra FLEX spot, we can remove the frustration of benching a top performer we were thinking about starting, because that player can be in your extra FLEX spot. 2. Deeper rosters get rewarded. If you put in the time to make good waiver claims, you can use these players in your extra FLEX spot. The bench will remain the same size with this proposal.

PROS: I'm tired of leaving points on the bench that would've surely helped me! So why continue to struggle with the line-up decisions that we currently do almost every week? This will dial down the time that it will take you to set your line-up without concern over the player that you have to leave on the bench, under our current system. ALSO: If you have a team that's loaded with talent, this will definitely increase the likelihood that you'll crush your competition because you won't leave as many players with (potentially) big point days on your bench! Just say "Yes!"... and we can put this into gear for 2019.

CONS: Seriously? This makes line-up selection way too easy! No need to give more than a second thought to who to play. C'mon People... Let's say "no" to this no-challenge system!
