It seems simple enough to ignore the fact that an odd number of players have signed up for a fantasy football league. Hey, sometimes people just have a bye week. But then you actually see it implemented: In order to ensure fair scheduling multiple people per week need to have byes and it’s just a ridiculous mess.
