One reason I still have to hand score my league is that we do have injury substitutions. If your real QB was knocked out of a real game, the team would not play without a QB--or any position. So, my owners email me a depth chart using ALL of their players every week. That way, they have their preferences when injuries occur. Only if that "next man up" has more fantasy points than the injured player is the injured player substituted for. If no depth chart is received and that owner has an injury that week, its not "oh well"--I go to a good site that has deep rankings and the owner gets the highest ranked player at the position but only if that player scored more than the injured player. I've been doing this since 1993 or 1994 and it delivers fairness.

I lost my quarterback in the first series! That lost the game for me! There should be automatic bench player moved to said position of a injured player. Just like in real football!!

Allow benched players to take injured players spots during games
If a player gets injured and is OUT before halftime, you should be able to move a benched player into that spot. Like how it works in real football.
