2026 DFFL3 AOM
Feb 8, 2026
Attending
Owners: Brian, Rob, David, Mike, Garts, Mark, Sabu,
Chad, Clay, Ryan
Non-Attending
Owners: Mini
Commissioner
stated that Mini (Micheal Garton) was returning to the DFFL3 to take over
Fred’s team, and that Clay Brooks would be taking over Rhonda’s team and that
there were 2 re-tabled issues from the 2025 AOM.
1 – Should
we add the QB position to the .5/rush stat?
Yes: Chad,
Brian, Mark, Rob, Sabu, Clay
No: Ryan,
Mike, David, Garts
Non-Voters:
Mini
QB
position will be added to the .5/rush stat effective immediately on a 1-year
trial period
2 – The
Commissioner mentioned that we needed to discuss switching to Sleeper again,
with the same parameters as the previous time we discussed this (Commissioner
would get 1 year of website costs for switching the league over to Sleeper).
The Commissioner discussed some finances and asked if we should continue to pay
out records annually and/or increase league fees instead/as well. After a
discussion, the votes ended up as:
Switch to
Sleeper: Ryan, Mike, Mark, David, Garts
Stay with
MFL: Chad, Brian, Rob, Sabu, Clay
Non-Voters:
Mini
The proposal does not pass, and because it has been
discussed 2 years in a row, it will not be re-tabled, although it can be
proposed again. We will stay with MFL until someone proposes again
The
Commissioner opened the floor for new business:
3 – The
Commissioner started a discussion about finances which revealed that because
the website costs have increased so much and so rapidly, that he spent money
out of his pocket to run the D3 this season and offered up some options that
would remedy that problem.
Stop paying
records & increase fees by $5: Chad, Brian, Ryan, Rob, Clay
Stop paying
records, no increase and revisit next season:
Keep paying
records & increase fees by $5:
Stop paying
records, switch to Sleeper: Mike, Mark, David, Garts
Non- Voters:
Mini, Sabu
Since the owners couldn’t come to an agreement and I am
not paying money out of my pocket again this season, I have decided to not pay
records this season, leave the league fees as is ($70) and revisit next season
and see if just not paying records is what will help
4 – The
Commissioner advised that an owner in a league complained about how I do the
tie-breaking for final standings. I currently do it the CFL way which is a
combination of H2H & point differential. The suggestion was brought up to
do it the way Sleeper does it and ONLY use PF to determine playoff seeds etc. I
offered up the decision to the owners.
Keep using
the CFL method: Chad, Brian, Ryan, Mark, Rob, Sabu, Clay
Use the
Sleeper method: Mike, David, Garts
Non-Voters:
Mini
Commissioner
will continue to use the CFL method
5 – Mike
proposed that we tweak the scoring a little and change RB/WR from HPPR to FPPR
as well as alter the TE from 2/rec to 1.5/rec. After a lengthy discussion, the
following options were voted on:
RB/WR to go
from HPPR to FPPR & TE goes from 2/rec to 1.5/rec: Chad, Mike, Rob, David, Garts, Sabu, Clay
RB/WR to go
from HPPR to FPPR & TE stays at 2/rec: Brian
No changes
at all, leave it as is: Ryan, Mark
Non-Voters:
Mini
Proposal
passes for immediate implementation on a 1-year trial basis
**
AFTER FURTHER ANALYSIS, ROB REALIZED THIS WAS A BAD MOVE AND ASKED TO HAVE THIS
PROPOSAL REVERSED. WITH ENOUGH VOTES THIS PROPOSAL WAS INDEED REVERSED AND WILL
BE DISCUSSED FURTHER AT THE NEXT AOM **
6 – Mike
proposes that we limit the IR spots from unlimited to a limit:
Yes, limit
to 2 – 3:
Yes, limit
to 5: Mike, Garts
Yes, limit
to 10: Chad, Brian, Ryan, Mark, Rob, David
Non-Voters:
Mini, Clay
Proposal
passes for immediate implementation and the IR limit will be 10 during the
regular season going forward
7 – Ryan
proposed that we move up the schedule to start the playoffs earlier. After a
discussion and pointing out that bye weeks should not be a part of playoffs, he
changed his mind and rescinded his proposal.
There was no
more new business, so the Commissioner closed the floor and proceeded with his
Commissioner’s Report.
2026 DFFL3
Commissioner’s Report:
1 –
Personal:
Because of some issues that arose last season in multiple leagues (some of it
my own fault), fantasy football left a sour taste in my mouth and I almost
pulled a Cam and completely walked away from all fantasy football at the end of
last season. However, thanks to both of my co-Commissioners in the DFFL
Franchise for talking me off the ledge (and also
thanks to my wife’s advice), here we sit, still active.
However, I am stating publicly here that I am currently only signing a 2-year
contract with the possibility of an extension at the end of those 2 seasons. If
there is anyone who wants to take over as Commissioner of the DFFL Franchise,
please reach out and I will take you under my wing and teach you all you need
to know to properly run these leagues with a lot less effort than I put into
them. I completely understand that because of my medical situation, I have way
more time to dedicate to fantasy football than the rest of you, but I am at
least giving you guys a warning that 2026 & 2027 MAY be the final seasons
in all the leagues if no one wants to take them over. We will discuss that more
once the dates get closer.
2 – Finances:
The Commissioner advised that all requested prize money was paid out the
morning after the completion of the Championship game.
Commissioner paid $15.08 out of his pocket for running the league last year and
the pot is now back to $0.00
League fees increasing by $5 this season will likely ensure that there are no
more increases in the near future.
If anyone wants a copy of the financial statement, please feel free to ask.
3 – New Announcements:
Rhonda and Fred left the DFFL3
Mini (Micheal Garton, Garts’ brother) returns to the
DFFL3 taking over Fred’s team
Clay Brooks (OG owner from DFFL) took over Rhonda’s team

6 – Miscellaneous:
The trading freeze was lifted at the conclusion of the NFL Super Bowl.
Due to a glitch when the system switched over, the WW will start this week
instead of last week. You will have 200 bidding dollars in the offseason. The
off season WW runs on Friday mornings, then when it switches to the regular
season, it will go back to Thursday mornings for the entirety of our regular
season.
Just a reminder that there are no roster limits during the off season.
Thank you to everyone for diligently posting your lineups and submitting your
picks for the Supplemental Drafts.
Thanks again to everyone for all your efforts in the 2026 DFFL3 AOM!
The
Commissioner then officially closed the 2026 DFFL3 AOM
