Dynasty with contracts and/or roster cuts

Article text

Hey - I'm kicking off a 14 player dynasty league with a group of experienced players who are all friends IRL. One frustration we have had with large dynasty leagues is how little value there is later in the drafts and how it can take a long time to unseat top teams. I've seen contracts used as a way to combat this, ensuring the talent pool in the draft has more depth, however, with no native tools in Sleeper, this feels complicated to implement. I had a thought that we could instead enforce roster cuts at the end of each season (by a certain date). We have 19 man rosters (including taxi, not including IR), the idea would be you have to cut your roster down to 15 (or something) at some deadline date before the draft. This would force tough decisions and increase the talent pool in the draft. Should it be weighted so that top teams drop more players (since worse teams are more likely to hoard young players with lower hit rates)? Has anyone tried anything like this? Is there a name for this? Is it something common I hadn't heard of? Any input appreciated, and thanks in advance. submitted by /u/Zolazolazolaa [link] [comments]
