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


I think you misunderstood what I meant

YES, you are SUPPOSED TO set your lineup, whether you’re in contention or not

but NO, you aren’t allowed to pick up players off of waivers or make trades


quote:

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 can sort of understand this, so make the cutoff when the playoffs start for teams who are out


quote:

And if you’re the lower seed in the finals, you just get unfettered access to the top waiver claim?


That’s why I’d rather leagues that don’t do a waiver order, but instead each team gets $100 dollars to use for bidding on free agents

No I understand your point. But I'm saying that rule right there prohibits a team from setting their best lineup. What if it's a guy that typically streams QBs and DEFs and only keeps one of each on his roster at a time. He gets eliminated from the playoffs and now he's forced to start the same QB and DEF every week, regardless of matchup. Not allowing that guy to continue to make waiver claims prohibits him from starting his best team. And that would have a huge impact on his ability to win those games, and gives the people going up against him easier wins. I don't want that scenario to be what eliminates me from the playoffs or gets me a lower seed.

ETA: I see your edit addressed this point. I didn't notice it until after I posted.
