Suspended players

Recommended Posts

a suspended player is the equivalent of an injured player who has not been placed on IR.     so Max was correct.   because they are not actually injured it does not count as IR

Unless ones league rules allows it.  Expect for 2020-2021 because of the mandemic, we used an IR those two seasons, but besides those two years I’ve never been in a league with an Ir.  Find it silly imo.

I would hope the LM wouldn't allow that

Good question. I know ESPN, for example, lets us have our IR spots be used for any players designated as Out for their game.  We treat it more like a fantasy injured list than following real NFL IR rules. So if your RB gets ruled out sunday morning, you can put him in an injured spot and add a fill in, if needed.  But if that players status changes to Q or D you have to remove them from the injured slot to make any waiver claims, trades or FA adds moving forward. 

During covid, we added 1 extra slot to use specifically for positive covid tests. I don't think there was a way to differentiate so we policed it manually, making sure no one was using the extra injury slot for a regular injury. 

To my knowledge, suspended players are not allowed in those slots. I have drafted guys at a discount who were pending suspensions, like Zeke one year and i'm fairly certain I had to eat a bench slot with him.
