subject: How To Manage NFL Bye Weeks in Fantasy Football [print this page] While most fantasy football websites require a league to accept this issue as a way of life, Maximum Fantasy Sports does offer a solution. They provide a league configuration option known as Bye Week Rollover. If configuring a fantasy football league with this option turned on, managers can chose to use the week prior to a Bye Week as the player's performance during the Bye Week. There is one catch though; this decision needs to be made before the game starts in the week prior. For example, Team A has Adrian Peterson facing the Detroit Lions in Week 5 and Peterson has a Bye Week in Week 6. If the manager selects the checkbox to "roll over" Peterson's points to his Bye Week prior to the Week 5 game starting, Peterson's points will be locked in for Week 6 as well. So, you get a 2-for-1 performance. Now, there is no guarantee that Peterson will outperform any other player on the roster that could be started in Week 6 and, if he gets hurt or has a bad game, you cannot change the fact that Adrian Peterson's points are already scored for Week 6. In a matchup like A.P. facing the Detroit Lions' defense, one would think that this is a worthwhile risk. In other cases, such as Jay Cutlet facing the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5 with a Bye Week in Week 6, it may make more sense to let Cutler have his Bye Week on your bench and start another QB during Week 6. The idea of Bye Week Rollover is to provide your league's managers with an option on how to handle Bye Weeks without having to alter the players on their rosters.
