Fantasy Football replacement managers needed!!

[Cryptic_Snow]

Got a pretty good league going on Yahoo, except I got a couple inactive teams. Does anyone want to take over a team and flex your fantasy skills?

It's a 20 team league so it's a lot more active and interesting than your typical league.

Perhaps if you gave more information about the teams you need new owners for. Players, current record, etc.

Also, a bit more league information would be useful too. Number of teams in the playoffs for example.

My point being, it might be easier to get some replacement owners if the teams actually had a chance at getting to the playoffs.

The league it broken into four divisions (5 teams each). Division winners advance to the playoffs and then the next four best teams also go, so 8 teams total.

Team #1
The team that I replace first is currently 3-3 and tied for the division lead. Solid team with damn good receiving corp (Larry Fitzgerald, Antonio Brown, Miles Austin, Brian Hartline). Also got Jamaal Charles at RB. Great shot at winning this division if the team had an active owner.

Team #2
The other potential replacement team is also 3-3 and has Cam Newton, Lance Moore, Mike Wallace, Reggie Bush, Scott Chandler, and Jermichael Finley. Defense is also solid on this team.

Team #3
This team is 2-4 and features Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB, Randall Cobb, Brandon Stokley, Donnie Avery at WR, and a very deep slew of Running backs like Ryan Mathews, Doug Martin, Chris Johnson, Pierre Thomas, and Shaun Draughn.
Antonio Gates is the starting TE. Defense is pretty good. They just suffered through starting a lot of players on a Bye week. Fix that and this team is good to go!

Team #4
This one is going to be a challenge. The team is currently sitting at a 1-5 record, but this team has been totally neglected. They actually got Adrian Foster and C.J. Spiller for RBs and Malcom Floyd and Nate Burleson for WR. They got San Francisco for defense which is one of the best, but they need to fix their roster and dump the injured guys. A little TLC and this team could be respectable once again.

Standard scoring or custom? I think I might be interested...

It's custom, but in a good way, nothing ridiculous. Tried to make it a more realistic (if that's possible). QB in fantasy is an undervalued position, whereas in the NFL it's vitally important to your team's success, so there's a few tweaks. Touchdowns are worth 6 points for example instead of 4. Defense has been overhauled to reflect good team defenses and punish bad ones. More realism, more league activity, and more fun were my goals. So far everyone loves the setup and scoring format, even got compliments on it, which was kind of nice and unexpected. I won't go back to standard scoring after the success we had with this.

What starting positions and how many bench? Team D or IDP (or both?)? Redraft?

 

[Cryptic_Snow]

Team Defense/Special Teams and Individual Defense Players are used to add more depth.

Teams are redrafted every season so no keepers, if you like the league you're welcome to stay for next season. We've even been talking about offering some minor prize for next season to the overall winner. Not sure what that would be.

Seems like the waiver wire would be slim pickings with so many teams with that roster size. Is it?
