[Waivers] Positional Waivers
Requests to only allow waiver claims or adds for players at the same position as the one you're dropping.

Bad Idea. If I am strong at RB but weak at WR, I carry more WRs on my bench to play based off the matchup. If I need a RB for a bye week, what happens? Do I have to drop my great RB for a middling RB to use for one week?

Terrible idea, especially with positions that have one slot. For instance, If I drafted Lamar Jackson in the 3rd round, I'm not going to drop him for____insert rando player here____ during his bye week just to have a QB for that week. So, yeah, no.

Disagree with this. Let managers manage.

Don't agree with this. It may "solve" a problem but stifle options and create a bigger problem. One scenario would be a team has a couple of really good WR on a bye, with no scrubs to drop at the WR position. The team owner would be forced to drop a really good player to pick up a bye week filler instead of an expendable player at a different position.

Require managers to only pick up the same position player that they waive. For instance if they waive a QB, they can only pick up a QB. This will eliminate managers from loading up at one position, limiting others from picking up needed players.
