Fantasy Football and Covid

[APB]

I know we have a rather large population here who play fantasy football. Any new rules being implemented in light of the Covid unpredictability? Are you still going forward with a league year?

My main league is kicking around the possibility of if a player goes down due to Covid and his backup is not rostered, the owner of the player gets first dibs on claiming the backup rather than utilizing the traditional 24 hr FA claim process. If the backup is already rostered, that owner is just SOL.

I guess we’re just looking at ways to maintain some sort of roster stability. Any other ideas being floated?

Yes, all my leagues are still going. We have different setups with every league, since they are all dynasty leagues, but every league is allowing unlimited IR for Covid players or Opt Out players. Some are monitoring it, and making sure no one breaks the rules because of the way we are doing things, but yeah, leagues must be flexible because this is out of every owners control.

I'm in a league that is reducing the RB and WR slots to one apiece and replacing the other starters with flex spots to make the lineups more flexible.

Commonly seeing adding one roster/bench spot.

I'm generally adamantly opposed to redraft leagues having IR spots for injured players, but I get it for this season if leagues want to do that.
