Just throwing it out there....
KRFL rules include having "home field advantage" turn "ON".
As 2020 NFL has been, for the most part, played in front of few or no fans, and therefore home field advantage has been pretty much eliminated, should we turn it "off" and not use it in 2021 KRFL?

Not sure if you have to have a subscription to WaPo to read this article, but it essentially says that there is no home field advantage this year. I'm in favor of turning it off for 2021 KRFL.

I think home field advantage should be 1 point next year.

Keep.
I think home field can involve more than just fans. Weather, turf v. grass, time zones, travel etc.
I'd be in favor of lowering to 1.

I don't have a definitive opinion one way or the other, but I would say leave HFA as it is. My issue with adjusting the HFA to 1 is that it unfairly accentuates the performance of the team playing on the road, unless that effect is what's intended (from the DKS manual):
Advantage—Scroll to the desired home field advantage. Values range from 1 (not much
advantage) to 5 (large advantage). The average home field advantage is 3. Note: The
higher this advantage, the greater the difference between home and road statistics. This
means that a team with high home field advantage will be equally negatively affected on
the road.
