Yes, but a draft before a CBA will have an unusual amount of uncertainty is my point. I would never join a league drafting before there was a free agency period.

^^^ yes, but everyone will be dealing with the same level of uncertainty so it is fair.  Luck would be a bigger factor post draft than in some years, but luck is always a factor. 

If you play for fun (vs. with a lot of money on the line and a belief that you have superior skills than those who you expect to take money from) I don't see the big deal either way.

I will do the free leagues but there is not way I am throwing around any cash to my money leagues without a full 16 games schedule. I will pass on that until next year.

I'll be at full capacity for this FF season...Uber Wars, Challenge leagues, money leagues, all of 'em. No matter what the circumstances are surrounding the season, every fantasy GM will be dealing with them, so it's still a level playing field. If anything, a shortened preseason just means less time to prepare, and that, imo, gives an advantage to the GM who not only has a solid grip on current player valuing, but can adjust values quickly on the fly once the frenzied free agency period starts, the rookies arrive and start showing what potential they have for the season, and the camp battles for playing time start shaping up.
