Highest-scoring picks:
Sleeper has a new scoring setting where you essentially just select one game a week for each of your starters that will count towards your matchup. This eliminates the advantage of having certain players play in more games than another player in a certain week. It also creates far more strategy having to look at all the necessary stats and numbers to know which game each week you want to count towards your starters.
