NFL teams have multiple chances in a week to find a guy that will help them, why shouldn't your fantasy team have the same opportunity?

Not true they can't just send somebody back to the practice squad after there called up

No they can't, but they are free to release them or place them onto waivers, which is the equivalent of what a fantasy team manager is doing.

Do NFL rules allow a player to play 2 games in the same week (if for example they were cut or traded after the Thursday game)? I’d be surprised if they do.

The NFL rules don't address this, but the 2020 NFL Players Union CBA contract does.   Happened with Zach Ertz in 2021.   Played for Eagles on TNF, traded on Friday, and was told by the NFLPA that he could not play for his new team (Cardinals) on Sunday.

That is not what the original post was about, however, it was about dropping a guy from a fantasy team after his NFL game is complete for the week.   The dropped guy is of no value in that same week to any other team in the fantasy league, but the roster spot may be of value to the team dropping the player.    So different leagues can address this as they wish, but in our league, there is no restriction from dropping a bench player after his NFL game concludes.     Starting lineup is locked in, so doesn't apply to those players.

Thank you for the Ertz information, but before you were talking about NFL analogies and now you’re back to fantasy.  An NFL team only plays on one day per week but a fantasy team plays on multiple.  So it would be impossible for an NFL team to cut someone that played in a particular week in order to add a new player for that same week.

NFL teams do play multiple games in the same week.    KC Chiefs played 3 games in 11 days this in December.
