One major thing I would change about the league is the Double Draft Media Week. It’s a great way to quickly earn some money, and I’ll admit that I’ve definitely benefited from it myself, but it also causes many problems. Many of the most talented media authors we have will store all of their creative talents until draft day, where they unleash one 6000+ word article that they’ve been writing all year to earn enough money for a couple seasons. This discourages people from writing any content during the normal pay in the season. In addition, because the draft media is so lucrative, people will churn out five or six versions of the same basic article concepts - draft rankings, mock drafts, and prospect lists to name a few - that quickly grow repetitive and get less interesting to read. I think the solution to this is to dissolve Double Draft Week and instead have two variable weeks of 1.5X payout spread throughout the season. The topics that these would focus on would change from year to year. Not only would this greatly expand the scope of possible articles, it also encourages writing throughout the entire year and dissuades people from sitting on relevant content for the entire year so that they can cash in on double payout.
