If someone on your team goes down due to an injury, you can replace them (IR) with another active player.
WHO QUALIFIES
If a player appears on the NFL injury list preceding their game, you can use an (IR) move.
As long as the player appears on the list, he can be replaced, regardless of the injury status (Out, Doubtful, Questionable).
SHOULD I DO IT
If you (IR) a player who ends up playing, it’s too bad. You get the points from the replacement player.
INJURY LIST
The only Injury List I accept is from yahoo.com. No other sites can be used to confirm injury status.
YAHOO provides their final injury list on Friday, except for early games.
Injury status can change day to day so be sure to wait for the final report.
MOVE DURATION
IR moves only last ONE WEEK. After the week, the original injured player will return to your active roster.
You must make a new IR move every week until the player returns.
MOVE PRIORITY
IR moves take SECOND priority to WAIVER WIRE moves.
IR moves take priority to SUSPENSION and HOLDOUT (and COVID) moves.
BYE WEEKS
You CANNOT request an IR Move for a player when his team goes on BYE. This applies to any injured status, including OUT FOR THE SEASON.
REPLACEMENTS
An injured player must be replaced with someone from the same position
EVEN IF IT IS A FLEX PLAYER!!
AMOUNT
You can make as many INJURY RESERVE moves as you want in one week.
NOT ELIGIBLE
QBs and KICKERS are not eligible for the INJURY RESERVE. You receive the backups for those positions. TEAM DEFENSES are also not eligible.
EARLY GAMES
If your FIRST PRIORTY request is for a player in an early game, you will be rewarded that player before the game begins, regardless of overall standing.
If you a submit a LATER PRIORITY request for a player in an early game, you could still get that player if your FIRST PRIORITY requests are stolen.
If the player you are replacing does not appear on the final injury list AFTER an early game request goes through, that move will be rescinded.
SEASON DEADLINE
The deadline to make INJURY RESERVE moves is week 18, the end of the regular season.
