Subject: Week 17 relavence... Affect on Fantasy Football?

With Goodell's statements (Here)about adding relevance to week 16/17 games by making them divisional games, how do you think this will affect Fantasy?
Will there be a larger # of leagues EXPANDING the regular season to 14 weeks (Playing the playoff championship in week 17)? Will the Peyton Mannings of the league be less likely to rest in these weeks (Don't forget what happened to the Bengals when they rolled over to the JETS in week 17, then couldn't stop the momentum that the JETS were already on.)?
I'm tempted to say that the potential for expansion is there IF they pass this. |

I can't foresee a lot of movement in fantasy leagues to expand the schedule or playoffs unless the NFL actually adds more games.
You have played the RIFC format before, so you know how the 13 week regular season just fits the league format. Adding more regular season games would require using unbalanced schedules. I'm not opposed to that possibility. Hey, the longer the season, the more fantasy football to play.
I don't know that adding significance to Weeks 16 & 17 are going to improve prospects in fantasy leagues, though. I suppose it will make for more competitive championship games. As an NFL fan in general, though, anything to not have to watch teams lay down would be appreciated.

Well 13 weeks works perfectly for 14 teams... but what if we added a 15th team to the mix? Considering we aren't split into two conferences with 4 teams from each making the playoffs, it doesn't necessarily complicate the playoffs so much. I'm not suggesting that this move should be done... but it's something to think about.
