IndyTom 0 Posted September 26, 2012 Anyone else take advantage of the IR slots in your FFL to pickup a player that a rookie drops after they have been put on IR? My pick of the week: Beanie Wells - dropped last night. Will probably be back in November. The only problem with this strategy is that it only works once. After the league sees what you have done, they will be mindful to do it themselves - so save your "IR Add" for the right moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdrs4life 0 Posted September 26, 2012 Unfortunately my league commish has decided that only players going on season ending IR can be put on our IR. So, since this was an eligible to return IR situation, Beanie cannot be put on IR for my FF team. Had to cut him . Any other leagues work like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IndyTom 0 Posted September 27, 2012 Our league diced the IR slot entirely...too easy to abuse. We have two slots for IR. Since we are a keeper league (up to 4 players for no more than 2 years) the IR slots make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sperri40 12 Posted September 27, 2012 We have two slots for IR. Since we are a keeper league (up to 4 players for no more than 2 years) the IR slots make sense. How does yours work? Is it simply if a player is on IR in the NFL, they can be on your IR? We had two IR slots in which you put a guy if he was listed as being 'Doubtful' or 'Out.' However, this gets really messy and we just decided to kill the whole thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The player has to be officially put on the NFL's I.R. list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sperri40 12 Posted September 27, 2012 The player has to be officially put on the NFL's I.R. list. Okay...that's different. We're also not a keeper league anymore (we did that for a few seasons). Our IR slots just caused aggravation the way we were doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bsong 0 Posted September 27, 2012 At the risk of hurting anyone's feelings, I think IR is silly. Especially in a keeper league. What's the point? Why not just have an extra roster spot? All that an IR spot does it make it easier for people who aren't paying attention to just plug an IR player into the IR spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cretins 21 Posted September 28, 2012 Our keeper league has an IR spot that can only be filled by a player that was injured while on your roster to prevent exactly that scenario. You're free to pickup or draft an injured/suspended player, but he's going to tie up an active bench spot. We've had this rule in place for over a decade and it has always worked well.
