The WORM Hole

The WORM Hole is wide open until Week 9

AUDUBON PLACE - The BDFL's patented WORM Rule will be back for a sixth season to help keep the BDFL as competitive as possible. WORM is an acronym for the Week's One Roster Move. It means each team in the BDFL is free to drop and add one player per week during the season from Week 3 to Week 9. This gives each team seven possible roster moves per season which is half the team which is more than plenty. We start the WORM transactions prior to the Week 3 match-ups 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. The Magic City Mayors have been 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. Last season (2025) there was a ton of value found in the ol' proverbial "Worm Hole" with the likes of Johnston, Prater, Tucker, Pineiro, Jennings, Gainwell, Vidal, Gordon, Patterson, Waller, Wentz and others all coming into the league during the regular season to help contribute to BDFL rosters via the WORM Rule. Look for even more WORM value this season when teams need an in-season roster boost. 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. Try not to enter the WORM Hole before it opens since this is dangerous business.
