Let's address the elephant in the room. The football gods are angry!
First, we have Make FF Great Again who had the privilege of drafting first and getting Christian McCaffrey. The consensus #1 fantasy pick somehow hid an injury that will cause him to miss at least two games. How does that injury go completely unreported until now?
Next, we have Tijuana Bible, one of the historical powerhouses of our league. Their draft strategy focused on the dynamic pairing to Tua and Tyreek. Oh no!! I expect Tua to be back on the field this season, but frankly think he should retire now.
The football gods are punishing those who didn't show up on Draft Night! Amen.

Mr. Commissioner: last night's draft exposed an unintended consequence of removing the roster caps at the skill positions. Late in the evening, all of the players listed in the Top 300 were RBs. As a result, nearly all of the auto-picks were RBs.
To resolve this, we should restore roster limits for draft night only: 3 QBs, 5 RBs, 5 WRs, and 3 TEs. This will ensure that auto-picks don't go off the rails. I propose these roster limits expire immediately after the draft.

Mr. Commissioner, the Jagermeisters moved T.J. Hockenson to IR and would like to select Zach Ertz and insert him into the starting line-up for Week 1.
