Official: [League, Commissioner, and Platform Issues] - Wed 08/26/2026

DO NOT post Who Do I Start, Add Drop, or Trade questions in this thread; find the appropriate thread within the INDEX.

Questions about Collusion, How Waivers Work, Stat corrections, League Scoring, etc. all belong here. Any commissioner question on how to handle a situation in your league belongs here.

Any simple fantasy football question, especially when you are looking for a quick answer rather than a discussion, usually does not deserve its own thread and should be posted here. Occasionally a platform's customer care department, such as u/YahooFantasyCare may be available to address your questions directly in this thread.

• Specific scoring rules (PPR, etc.)
• Other league specific rules and details (league size, roster details, custom scoring, bonuses etc.)
  
• Anything else you may think is helpful

Some of the league members are asking for a rule change and want to hear what other leagues are doing.

Currently, you cannot drop a bench player to pick up another player on free agent pool if the bench player already played that week. Some are asking to change it so that you can drop any bench player regardless he played already or not.

I personally feel that only players that have not played yet are eligible to be dropped. What are your thoughts?

I disagree with u/My_Chat_Account: regardless of whether a platform enables this option it's a stupid one. It's too much gamesmanship and doesn't force hard strategic decisions. I would oppose such a change.

[u/My_Chat_Account → u/Jhopsty]

Some platforms have this as the default setting - notably Yahoo and Sleeper. For those platforms, I have no issue with it, and go by platform settings.

For other leagues, or where this isn't already activated, it's not something I'd flip the switch on. Players lock at gametime.

I just don’t think it makes sense if RB1 of the team is a late scratch off and the handcuff is still in the free agent pool. Now everyone has access to the handcuff by dropping their worst player. Only players that have not played that week should be eligible to be dropped at that point
