Hold up can I get an effing ruling here?

[cyclone24 1,912]

So last night, I grabbed Patrick Taylor because it wasn’t entirely sure that Isaac was going to play and I had an open spot. So he plays the game and Patrick doesn’t play. I had him on my bench.
 

So today I figure well the game’s over I’m gonna drop Patrick Taylor and pick up spear from Tennessee. Now our league is going you shouldn’t be able to drop a guy after he’s already played. I’m like well he was on my bench. I don’t know why you wouldn’t speculate on players that haven’t played if you have an open spot.
 

Am I wrong here or do you do this in leagues? I’ve been doing it for years in our yahoo league. I really can’t believe it just got noticed.

[nobody 2,527]

Every league I've played in prevents managers from dropping a player after they played that week.

[nobody 2,527]

I'm not sure why it would matter though.

Same thing in the 2 yahoo leagues I've played in every year since 2005.

Yes. I have Ricky Pearsall on my bench & tried to drop him just now.

A player has already played and is no longer editable for today. (Error #174)

[plasma george 62]

Agree, once a players game starts, CBS locks him (grays him out) wherever he is on your roster, can't Start/Bench, can't Drop.

[gcmmidwest 149]

Id be embarrassed to even ask this question... Matter of fact I'm embarrassed for you 

[weepaws 3,107]

Shouldn’t be able to drop a player once that players team has played.

So, you picked up a player that may have been RB1 for a team due to injury. Said injured player ends up starting & ww pick stays on bench.

adjective: intent

1. 1.

   resolved or determined to do (something).

    

   Your "Intent" was to play Taylor. You picked him up because you thought Guerendo was going to be inactive....rendering Taylor the starter. Unfortunately,  Guerendo was active......so you sat Taylor. 

   You took a chance, you gambled, it didn't pay off. Now you want your bet back amirite?

    

[Drogon 15]

In addition, in some leagues, you have to hold on to a player you pick up for at least one week before dropping them.  To prevent people just picking up and dropping them all willy-nilly (I think that is the technical term for it lol).

[kutulu 1,642]

None of the leagues I'm in do this, but i follow this guideline myself regardless. I hate when people churn roster positions like that. Weak a$$ sh1t imo.

I started a league in 2006. One of the owners was constantly churning. If memory serves, he had something like 120 WW transactions year 2.

4 other owners complained, so for year 3, I set the limit to 70.  

[weepaws 3,107]

Always have played for n leagues that charge for pickup/drops, stops others from doing just that 

[Da_Bears 14]

What system/Site are you using that even allows you to drop a player for a team that is already played?

I’ve played on CBS and ESPN and both locks the players a soon as their team’s game starts.  

[JagFan 140]

Like it or not, whatever the rules are for the league are what they are…for everyone to exploit.  The time to make changes to said rules are before next season starts and complaining about them in season is pointless.  I once added and dropped every available QB on a Sunday morning, sending them all to waivers, so the person I was playing couldn’t pick up a QB for his QB that was marked out.  D!ck move?  Absolutely.  Within the rules of the league…absolutely.

[nobody 2,527]

I wouldn't invite a manager back that did that.

Played one season that charged for each pick up... Think the money went to most points ... I remember it cost me a lot ...I'm always looking for that diamond in the rough

My money leagues charges $1 for each move or player/pick traded. There is weekly bonus $5 thing every week once bye weeks start. Making the playoffs is an automatic extra $30 in profit, I think. I will get last or 2nd to last place in an auction and keeper league. But, it is nice for the keeper one to get the 1st or 2nd overall pick for next season.

The one keeper league I did make the playoffs; I went on a 10 game winning streak. We play 2 match ups weekly vs other owners. Somehow almost managed not to make the playoffs in that league; despite the nice mid-season 10 game winning roll. Ended up 14-14 for my record.

[RareN64Dream 21]

I forgot to mention above for the money leagues I am in that we do not have unlimited free agent moves and there is a trade deadline thing. For those leagues each owner starts with $100 imaginary dollars to spend on free agents. I remember one year I bid like $72 on Matt Cassel, QB, Patriots; when Tom Brady got injured. But I messed up my bid that year accidentally, so I didn't get my bid to work. Ended up trading for Cassel a couple weeks later in a blockbuster trade and I won the league! That was good times; I drafted very well for rookie RB's that could be keeper values for next season and in the trade I got DeAngelo Williams; who scored 20 TDs, I think that season for the Carolina Panthers.

The rookie running backs were Kevin Smith, Chris Johnson, Matt Forte and Jonathan Stewart; if I remember correctly.

You’re just mad you didn’t think of it first.

[Law 241]

NFL.com is BS because its platform allows this. If a player has played but he was on your bench, you can still drop him and add another player and even use that new player that week. Total BS!

Legit sites do not allow a player to be dropped once their game has started and add a new player.

That’s a great reason to charge for any and all drop/adds, and trades.  That’s a pretty stupid thing to do.

I thought most leagues send the player right back to FA if you add and drop the same player within 24 hours or something.

[Phil Simms 11 133]

4 of the 5 leagues I am in allow the dropping of bench players that played. Guess it’s yahoo default. CBS league doesn’t allow it 

[Bobot41 0]

If you have a player on your bench and his team has already played, then it's perfectly ok to drop that player for a FA player that hasn't played yet or even a player on bye IF YOUR LEAGUE SETTINGS ALLOW IT.  If the league doesn't like it, then it should change the settings. I am in one league in Yahoo that allows you to drop a player that you actually played in your lineup as soon as midnight hits on Sunday evening. Sounds crazy, but that is what the league settings are and everyone knows it.

probably is yahoo default.  and I'm betting lots of people dont even know changing this is actually an option

Our main $ league:    You can't drop a player that you've started until after the MNF game.    For bench players, you can cut them at any time, 24x7, even while their game is in progress (because why not?)

Because it gives you multiple chances in a week to find a breakout guy. I don’t think it should be allowed.

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?
