| I have been notified by MFL about how player injury information will be handled. In looking this over this is much better then waiting for the NFL's Injury Report to come out on just Fridays like it does. It will now be more updated at earlier times which will help in waiver wire. Here is MFL's statement: Starting in Week 3, MyFantasyLeague.com will be updating its player injury information and procedures. Instead of relying on the official injury report from the NFL, which isn't released until Friday evenings, we will now use Rotowire.com as our official source of player injury designations. This will result in more timely and accurate injury information for your league since the injury information for players will be updated daily instead of just once a week on Friday night. The same designations will still be used for players (IR, Out, Doubtful, Questionable, and Probable), so you can still use the same fantasy injured reserve rules. Additional details about this change to be aware of: -The Wednesday night "Practice Report" updates and player designations will no longer be used. -Players that are injured on Sunday or Monday will now be updated much sooner with an injury status. -Players that are on various unofficial injury lists, such as the PUP list or the Suspended list, will now be listed as "Out". -Players on a bye week that are still injured will have an injury designation during their bye week even though they would otherwise not appear on the official NFL injury report for that week. -The first update with this new system will occur on Wednesday evening (Sept 17th). We're confident that this new injury information will be much more timely and useful from a fantasy football perspective compared to the previous reliance on the official NFL injury updates. However, if you do not want to use these more timely updates for whatever reason, and only want to rely on the Friday injury report for your league, you can create a new "No Injured Reserve Moves Allowed" league calendar event that ends Friday night when the final official injury report will be updated for your league. Now for YFFL leagues Injured Reserve rules this will not change. As a reminder here are the rules for using Injured Reserve: * A player can only be deactivated when his current NFL Injury status is IR or Out. * Once deactivated, an owner cannot activate a player for 1 day * Carry over injury status from the previous week for bye week players? YES Thanks, Commish CJ |
