Top 10 Fantasy Football Disputes

Here’s a quick list of the top causes of fantasy football arguments every season.  Address these issues with your league prior to the season and you’ll avoid headaches and endless message board debates.

1.   Return yards/TDs - Do these count for your WRs & RBs?
2.   If the opponent of your starting defense scores defensive points, does that count against your defense?
3.   How are field goals returned as TDs scored?
4.   Keeper eligibility - If your league has limits on the number of years a player may be kept, how are those limits affected if that player is traded or dropped?
5.   What happens when an owner drops out of the league mid-season?
6.   Does your league award partial points?
7.   If your league awards the incorrect point totals for a given week, and does not fix it, how will your league handle this?
8.   Last minute line-up adjustments - If a league owner contacts the commish after weekly lineups have been locked (or because of connectivity issues), can the commish process the change?
9.   Trade disputes - Does your league allow owners to trade future draft picks?
10.  Trade disputes - How does your league prevent unfair trades and collusion without also blocking the legitimate trades in the process?  - This is the big one.
