The site says K Dixon was placed on IR on Friday by the Ravens. But the flag on the site still shows him as suspended? I have to switch M Williams out of the IR as the Chargers took him off PUP. Is it okay if I put Dixon on IR? Are we going by the flags or real life?

I think you should just drop him. Double whammy suspended then on the IR. Obviously dead weigh.

I just went on your team and it allowed me to put Dixon on IR. It looks like Fantrax only has one flag per player, and since he had the suspended flag first they just didn't have room to put the injuried flag up there.

All in all, by our rules he is IR. A normal suspended player is not eligible for our IR.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Huh? He was suspended first and suspended players aren't eligible for IR in our league, or I'm I wrong about that?

The only players that are eligible are players on the NFL IR or PUP list. Because the NFL allowed the Ravens to put him on the IR while suspended, that makes him eligible in our league.

I will say Harold that IMO a player should have either serve his suspension before going on the IR or have to serve the suspension once a team takes him off.

OK. Deleted my post, but your fast.

Ditto.

Looking through the Claim History @tlance has to drop Jason Witten. Tlance can pick Vernon Davis back up because he was part of the Witten pick up.

I can't. He is on waivers. Did not realize that was a thing.

Honestly though, don't think it should be. Teams with legal rosters should be able to make moves. Gives an edge to those who make their cuts early.

It was in the rules about the Taxi Squad that there are no pick ups during the drop period. I believe I mentioned it when the drop period started.

Which player is on waivers? If it is Davis I should be able to go in there and change them back. If it was Witten, I will have to find the WW order and reset it.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Some rules to go over before we start:

The off season Taxi Squad is getting ready to go away. I will lower the player limit to 20 tomorrow night Aug. 28 and everybody has until midnight EST Sept. 4 to reach the limit. IR players DO NOT count against your 20, but they have to be put on the IR in real life before you can put them there. If you do not meet the cut in time, you lose your first pick next year. As of the roster size changing, the FA/WW list is locked on an honor system. Once the cut deadline is met, every available player will go to the WW.

The WW order is:
Barilko
Milk
BK
Shady
Femurov
Monkey
Stomp
Tlance
Harold
OBX
TKO
Joe
Treff
EHB
Chef
Fuzzy

And will continue to be rolling

Something to address for next season. This was a small detail that nobody gave much thought to until now.

First off I put Davis back on your team.

As far as the bolded part, I figure that the Taxi Squad rules are going to be discussed next year as I have never been in a league that had one and the rules were kind of come up with on the spot. Whenever you do that you are bound to get some things wrong. So if the majority want that part of the Taxi Squad changed next year, I am fine with it. This year I have to go by the rules that were there.

Stop ninjaing me. And yes I just made up a word.

I will say this about the Taxi Squad. It was brought up for D1, when we were setting up that league and voted down. When it was brought up for this league, I voted against it because it sounded weird to me. Even though it has been a lot of work for me, to keep up with the rules on it and try to help everyone understand the rules of it. I have liked it this year and believe it adds a different layer to the league. I know we have made changes to it earlier this year, originally it was set up to have the Drop Period be the first week of preseason, I do not believe it has been perfected or the best it can be.

Love the taxi squad, really adds some stradegy and that's a good thing.

I agree. Just didn't realize it was a rule.

That was what I figured when I saw you had picked up Witten.

All in all, by our rules he is IR. A normal suspended player is not eligible for our IR.

So if this is a thing can we put Dixon on IR in D1? Not availble to me on the site.

Is Fantrax denying you from doing it?

I ask because after thinking about it it might have been me being commish overriding the rules not meaning to. If Fantrax is denying you from doing it, we need to change it back in this league because the rules should be the same in both.
