You have backups for your team. I can't remember exactly, but you can have a maximum of 12 or 13 for your team. - your 1 QB, 3 WRs. TE, 2 RB, K, DEF and the rest are your bench. It's up to you how you choose to use those bench slots. You pick a starting lineup each week - only the players in your starting lineup will earn you points. So if you have a RB on the bench because you think he's up against a tough opponent and won't do very much, but he has a 5 touchdown day, he doesn't help you at all because he wasn't in your starting lineup. In fact, managing injuries, real life matchups and bye weeks is one of the most strategical parts of fantasy football.
You can trade players with other owners in your league, and there's a pool of free agents that aren't owned by any team. You can juggle your team throughout the season as you see fit.
And commish: What about a "draft by email" system?
