Enjoyed this league, proud of the third place without any good RBs.

I read a really cool league format on ESPN I think the other day. Copied/pasted below - maybe worth trying out next year if you are looking to shake it up?

"Me and my friends borrowed from soccer and created a relegation/promotion system for our fantasy football league. The A-League consists of the top 12 teams, while the B-League is a small six-man league. Each year, the bottom two A-League teams are relegated. The B-League promotes the regular season champion and playoff champion to the A-League; if one player wins both titles, the 2nd place finisher gets the other promotion. The B-League is not allowed to play for money. There is no trophy. It's purposely kept at six teams in order to ensure it never becomes respectable. You're only playing for a promotion. Everyone who gets relegated assumes they'll waltz through the B-League and be back the next year, but the B-League is the Wild West of fantasy football. With only six teams, large rosters, and generous points, you can't predict who will win week-to-week because everyone has an amazing team on paper. We are now four years in. We've had founding members be relegated, last-place finishers win the playoffs and sneak a promotion, and newly promoted teams make the playoffs. Next year, four of the original six B-League teams will be in the A-League."
