Changes
FAAB Budget
During the 2020 season, we voted to change the way FAAB budget is handled. Previously, teams were given $100 during the off-season then any budget spent was replenished back to $100 at the start of the season.
Teams will now be given $200 immediately following the rookie draft. This amount will be the full amount for the 2021 season (from rookie draft to championship).
IR Roster Slots
We voted on a poll in Sleeper to increase the amount of IR roster slots from 2 to 5.
17 Week Season
The NFL is adding an extra week to the regular season, so we're going to extend our league's regular season by one week as well.
The regular season will last until week 15 and our playoffs will be held in weeks 16 and 17.
Weekly Rewards
We're keeping the same weekly rewards as last year. We will not be adding a week 15 reward to match the extended season this year.
