That is likely not enough to expect at least 5 teams to log on, review trades, and for all of them to decide it is unfair and to protest a trade. It only takes a small number of teams to post their protests if there is a problem and the trade will be looked into. I think with this option, trades will run more smoothly and the protest process will be more transparent.
Passing TDs occur much more frequently than other TDs, placing an exaggerated importance on the QB position. Many fantasy football leagues have lower scoring for passing TDs. ESPN's and Yahoo's default settings are both 4 points.
No kickers this year. With 16 teams drafting for 13 rounds I figured that was an easy concession to make. They're so random and largely only consequential in close games that I think fantasy football will phase them out more and more.

I don't see how a TD being the same point value for passing vs running or receiving places an exaggerated importance on QB. The QB already has to throw for more yards to get a point for passing yards than a RB or WR has to for rushing or receiving to get points so doesn't it all equal out?
I don't agree with the default scoring being 4 either, TD is 6 points, let it be 6. The other points can all be up for question because it is something you are adding to make the fantasy aspect of it such as PPR, or receiving yards or even a bonus point after every 100 etc.
I still say league votes is the fairest way to go. If a guy doesn't like a trade let him hit the veto button and be done with it. He shouldn't have to go to the commish or post something up stating his opinions on it because that just opens up more criticism from those who are involved in the trade. I am just going from the majority of experiences in the past, if someone was to put up that they think trade XX is unfair then the owners involved usually then get into debate with that owner about why it isn't or is. If it is league votes each owner can cast their no vote, or just be silent and let it go if they feel it is fair, all the while remaining anonymous.
If 2 teams make a trade and I don't like player X, I voice my displeasure of the trade and you, as the commish, decide my reasons aren't valid you are in effect nullifying my vote, that shouldn't be the case. Each owner has their say on it no matter the reasons.
I have been in leagues where no other owner ever lets a trade go through, that's just the way it is, I may not want to lose ground on the first place team, or an opponent I am playing that week.
