With the 2007 season behind us, let's consider what changes and/or additions or league may need going into 2008--before we totally forget what happened. Here's my short list. Add to it, edit it, condemn it, etc:
- Should we lock rosters after Week 14? 15?
- Should we increase the value of a Safety from 2 points to 6? 4? 9?
- Should we include return yardage from punts/kickoffs?
- Should we impose time limits during the draft for each pick?
Discuss.

I can go either way on a roster lock. There is an extra degree of difficulty if you are forced to stick with your roster for the final 2-3 weeks. However, no lock rewards the person who diligently researches matchups and makes move until the end.
I am opposed to changing the value of a safety. In the end fantasy football is supposed to somewhat mimic real football. If a safety were that great then it would be worth a TD in real life.
I don't really care about return yardage. I can go either way. I don't think it really affects a whole lot of players. It will mostly shift the draft position of some mid-level WRs and RBs. Not a big deal.
Draft time limits would get things moving faster, however it would also make less time for bullshitting. Jared might appreciate a time limit since he is drafting from halfway around the world. We a little advance planning I think we should be able to get everyone else together in the same place for the draft. Let's make it an event.
I'll add one more to the list. I want to see a whole lost more smack next year. That's why we've got a blog. For example...
