If you have any recommendations, feel free to peruse the featured articles category and pick one that interests you. The rest of us can vote and make our suggestions and get the one on the main page changed.

It's not that there aren't active admins, because there are, it's that there aren't any suitable articles to be a featured articles. Also, every page that is listed in the featured articles category that you linked to have already been FA on the front page. I think you meant to link to good article nominations? If so, that list is also small.
