TITLETOWN
- The BDFL's patented WORM Rule was successful for a fifth season
straight season, but like all good things, it has come to an end. WORM is an acronym for Weekly
One Roster Move. It means each team in the BDFL was free to drop and add
one player per week during the season from Week 2 to Week 12. We started
the WORM transactions in Week 2 with the mindset being, you got to pay a
little for bad luck and bad draft decisions to be fair to the rest of
the league. This will probably go to Week 4 to Week 12 next season for
similar reasons. The Magic City Mayors were the most active team to
utilize the WORM Rule the last five seasons and have two titles within
this span. The Mayors are now the poster child for the WORM Rule. This season (2025) there was a ton of value found in the ol' proverbial "Worm
Hole" with players like WR-Johnston/LAC, PK-Prater/BUF, PK-Pineiro/SF,
RB-Marks/HOU, TE-Johnson/NO, WR-Jennings/SF, RB-Gainwell/PIT,
TE-Waller/MIA, RB-Gordon/MIA, RB-Vidal/LAC, QB-Brissett/ARI,
PK-Badgley/IND, PK-Szmyt/CLE, RB-Monangai/CHI, WR-Boutte/NE,
WR-Mooney/ATL, QB-Cousins/ATL, WR-Franklin/DEN, RB-McNichols/WAS,
TE-Goedert/PHI, TE-Barner/SEA, WR-Horton/SEA, RB-Demercado/ARI,
RB-Rodriquez/WAS, PK-Gonzalez/ATL, WR-Watson/GB, WR-Johnson/TB and
RB-Tucker/TB. The weekly process is quite simple, just email Iron Hand
prior to the weekly starters deadline to make your WORM move. Typically,
the weekly WORM Hole window is open each week from Monday at midnight
until the starters are due on Thursday. We'll see you next season in
Week 4 when the WORM Hole opens once again.

PLACE - In the BDFL, roster depth separates the contenders from
the pretenders. This becomes more evident when the bye weeks
start rolling in Week 5 of the season. The BDFL season is more
like a marathon with hurdles than the 400-meter hurdles.
Beginning in Week 5, the NFL will start giving all 32 teams a
week off without playing a game. Some weeks it is just two teams
off, other weeks it can be up to six teams off with byes.
However, the BDFL has never taken a bye week. The blue-collared
BDFL believes wholeheartedly in "the next man up" philosophy and
you must have some quality depth to adhere to the philosophy.
The bye weeks can be challenging, but most all BDFL champions
over the last 30 years have leaned on depth to help propel them
to the league's title. Therefore, solid depth becomes a
competitive advantage during the off week span of the season.
The 2025 NFL off weeks can be found at the top of the weekly
Excel spreadsheet pages provided by the award-winning Aladdin
Scoring System (@$$) and on the |
