re: Looking to switch up our Free Agents/Waiver Wire, anyone have ideas?

as in you can add guys on sundays once their games have started? So if say, player X goes down in game its a mad dash to go pick up the back up? That's lame.

You have got to get rid of this system. I would not want to interrupt my game watching on Sunday to pick someone up. Fantasy football is secondary to watching football, not the other way around.

We have a waiver wire. Starts in the reverse order of the draft and you go to the bottom of the list when you have made a selection. Pickups cost $5--stops guys from going crazy with stupid roster moves. You can pick up a player and day Tuesday through Saturday. Pickups are processed by CBS at midnight or 2 a.m. or something like that. You put in who you want, and it assigns that player to you if you're at the first one on the waiver wire priority list to ask for that player.

There is some strategy. I heard guys not jump in the race for a player who has a good week one and say that they want to move up the list to nab a player who has a good week two. Plus, if you pick up too many players, you're spending money and it can add up over the season because we also charge $5 a week for a loss.
