You will get many converts if you are the first site ever to.....

Make it so when a player is injured it auto places the next player on the bench.

I have always been confused about this, in real football if a running back gets injured, their back up goes in. This is how it should be in fantasy football, here is how it would work:

At whatever time the players was injured, say 11 minutes in the 1st quarter, than the person on the players bench (highest up on their bench) would start tracking points for the game they were in starting at the same time 11 minutes in the the first quarter.

If the first player returned for some reason, then it would go back to them being the starter.

This would MAKE PLAYERS set both their starting lineup, and their bench starting lineup. It would also prevent people from holding onto a lot of one position, for instance if you have 6 running backs and no 2nd tight end, guess what your tight end gets injured, you have no one to go in for them.

The dynamics of the game would change in such a GREAT WAY. I believe if a site does this, they will get worldwide publicity.

This would be nearly impossible to implement. What if an injured player comes back?
