re: if you don't make the playoffs do you adjust your roster any?

teams that are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, or out of the playoffs have no business making transactions

I don't agree with this line of thinking - especially not with teams that are mathematically eliminated.

So if a guy gets eliminated from playoff contention in let's say, week 11, that guy should be prohibited from making moves to have his best lineup going forward? What if his last 2 games are against teams that are otherwise fighting for a playoff spot. He's supposed to not try and start his best team and give that team an easier win? Screw that, everyone should be playing to win all of their games during the regular season. If for nothing else than the fact that the outcome of their games impact the rest of the league. I don't want my contender picking up free wins because an eliminated guy isn't allowed to stream Defs or TEs or whatever so he's forced to lay an egg.

I think it’s absurd to reduce the waiver pool down to four, then two teams. It rewards shite planning. If you didn’t roster your handcuff or plan ahead for defensive matchups, why should you now have practically zero competition for waiver claims? And if you’re the lower seed in the finals, you just get unfettered access to the top waiver claim?

I pretty much agree with this line of thinking. Like I said in a post above, there's nothing wrong with making moves to have your best team. But it's not ok to make moves just to screw over a playoff team.
