It would be more interesting to require cuts or allowing the bottom of the league to pick off players. The outcome was practically decided on draft day.
Allow the last place team to take any player from any team. Then that team picks a player off of the last place team's roster. Then let the next few teams from the bottom do the same. Maybe do this every four weeks. You could also allow each team manager to protect a player or two right after the draft.
Right now the only time strategy comes into play is with open dates and when players are injured or suspended.

The current free agent list is pretty much garbage.

Using the App does make watching all games more interesting. On the other hand I'm now watching for points and not pulling for teams to win. I end up hoping for OT to get more FF points. I end up wanting the other team to hurry up and score or turn the ball over to get my guys on offense as much as possible. It's bastardized my viewing pleasure.

FF has changed the NFL. It's kind of like Guitar Hero. Aerosmith has earned more off of Guitar Hero than all of it's record sales combined.

The current free agent list is pretty much garbage. 14 teams makes it that way. Mandatory cuts is interesting. About all you can hope for if near the bottom is injuries and grab the guys handcuff. Like Murray in Dallas or something.

Could also put a cap on the number of points a player can earn. Arian Foster got about 30 one week. If you are head to head when that happens you don't have much chance of winning that week. He has 55 points the last two weeks. Andrew Luck has over 30 twice and just under 30 another week.
If you set a maximum for points per player and made the roster longer then the scoring would be more distributed. Right now a handful of players are determining the results.
Not complaining, just throwing out constructive criticisms. I plan to play again next year.

You are pretty much screwed if you don't grab at least one of the top 3 or 4 QBs and wide receivers.

To this day, the "experts" will counsel you to wait on a QB and load up on running backs early. That was once true but not anymore regardless of format, IMO. So in that respect, it does mirror the actual game on the field.

BTW, Magnum got bumped from number one this week. Benny has the best team by a million miles with Rodgers and Murray. Rheatown has been the luckiest and thats why he leads. Christian has been the least lucky facing the highest points against by a lot other than Benny. Benny just has a good enough roster to overcome it.

Fo the top eight make the playoffs? Correct. Nobody is completely done yet but the 1-5's and 2-4's are on the clock big time this week.

I haven't looked at it but one time.
That was when I was told I was in first.
I guess with Calvin Johnson being hurt, it killed my team.
Now that teams are having bye weeks, I should at least glance at mine.

Wait until next week. I could use the point spread this week.

Magnum, you got a 60 point lead. When are you going to apologize for not taking a damn knee?
