After two years of feedback, I am proposing this simple solution to our bye week issue.
The Legacy regular season ends currently with a very important week 13 divisional game and playoffs begin in week 14. The past two years, teams (and trade negotiations) have been severely altered by these wildcard round bye weeks. To address this:
1. Allow, before kickoff in week 13, teams to decide to designate a player with a week 14 bye as ineligible for playing in their week 13 matchup, and that players week 13 stats would instead apply to week 14.
2. In week 13, the player would be left on the team's bench as if week 13 was there bye week.
3. During week 14, that player MUST be placed into the lineup with their week 13 points applied.
-Justin Herbert (Wk 14 bye) designated a week 14 replacement.
-Chargers can use any other eligible QB they have on roster for week 13
-Justin Herbert scores 11 points in week 13
-During the Chargers week 14 bye, Justin Herbert is placed into the lineup and 11 points are added to their score. This is a locked result, and the team can not "bench" Herbert for another player after declaring them eligible for week 14.
This rule change would take effect during the 2023 season.
