Potential Rule Changes
Nothing major calm your tits.  I think we are locked into Superflex for the next few years as keeper values have officially shifted.  If anyone wants a significant change we would have to plan now for a few seasons out.

- Sacko Bowl format tweak.
The 6 way battle is really tough to win and really tough to lose and I think 1/6 and 6/6 should be rewarded and punished for these feats.  Also, it feels awkward to have a 3 way match in each respective second round of the Allen Bowl and Sacko Bowl (having 1st and 2nd out of 3 is kind of lame).
I propose that the WINNER of the 6 way first round battle advances directly to the finals of the Allen Bowl and LOSER advances directly to the Sacko Bowl.
This will set up head to head semis in the second round and add extra drama to the 6 way battle.  There will be battles WITHIN the battle.  

- Kicker Scoring Update
I think this is a no brainer and a natural fit for this league.  Kicker scoring kind of sucks and does not represent the true value of the kicks as there are thresholds that separate scoring and anything 50+ is a static 5 pts.   
This year I think we should overhaul the scoring and make the scoring .1 pt per yard of kick.  How awesome would that be.  a 19 yarder gets you 1.9, 35 yarder 3.5, 55 yarder 5.5.  
Kickers are people too and the position would really increase the risk/ reward factor of big time kicks.  
If you don't like this idea you can get back in the kitchen with Ed as per Harrison Butker.



'24 Keeper Values





"Keepable" column is to be taken with an extra grain of salt this year.  It is hard to tell where exactly players ADP is for a Superflex TE Premium league.  I found one site and they blocked off the free preview after 5 clicks so I only marked where there are no brainer keepers.  

Prob will do away with this column next year since the Taco Boomers have gone feral anyway.  

Next point of convo, draft date and location- TBD.
