Anybody know the mechanics of Yahoo's waiver system and IR players?

I know if you have a player in an IR slot that no longer has a designation eligible for IR, it won't let you add players until you adjust your roster (drop a player and move the IR player to you bench). But what happens if you already put a waiver claim in BEFORE the IR player is no longer eligible? Will the waiver process as is or will it cancel out your waiver?

I put in a waiver claim for a player last night just to get it out of the way and this morning a player I have on IR is no longer eligible for IR. So far, I haven't gotten any kind of warning saying my waiver won't process. I know for a fact that if I made the waiver move today, it wouldn't let me do it until I took my player off IR

They're not gonna warn you, they're just gonna fuck you.

Better fix your roster first.

You know this or just a guess?

I found this, but its from 4 years ago and don't know if they've changed it or not

Almost confident enough in my guess to say I know it.

This one is from last year. So it sounds like it'll still process? Maybe? Anybody have experience with it this year?

You see the other options? Getting a full time starter was lucky.

I'll try for Mills, but not anyone with more than a week of starting is available.

Also I assume if you like Trubisky that Browning is long gone.

Nick Mullens replaced Joshua Dobbs in the fourth quarter and led the Vikings to a 3-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Looks like it is Mullins.

Someone paid a lot to keep Mullens from me. I'm still grabbing Hall.

How did it workout?

They processed it.

So ALERT for everyone that uses Yahoo fantasy, this can be a useful roster tactic that you can take advantage off. Roster designations that affect IR eligibility usually change on Tuesday mornings, so if you want to make a waiver (traditional claim or faab) without having to take a person of IR, put in the claim BEFORE Monday night/early Tuesday morning. This is very helpful for those players that might be week to week where they are ruled out for the week (you can put them on IR) but might play the next week so they get slapped with a Doubtful or Questionable tag (not eligible for IR) and the team waits until the last minute to rule them out. This way you can keep them on your IR, keep the player you're replacing them with, and still make a waiver move without having to drop that replacement player.

The Los Angeles Chargers are firing head coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco in the wake of the team's 63-21 Thursday night loss to the Las Vegas Raiders - duhhh.

Settled back to watch the Raiders/Chargers replay on NFL Network, and the sumbitches switched it to Ravens/Jags.

Bastards. I really wanted to watch the demolishment.

So I’m on a bye this week in the playoffs. Should I drop garden minshew who has the falcons next week and pick up Tommy devito who is playing the Eagles next week

DeVito is a nice story, but the Eagles may make him look like Danny DeVito.

I figured with Jefferson back and Mullens starting it would be a good idea to leave Addison on the bench.

Sure wish that was the case

This aged well, Browning is on fire

I want to brag for a minute while the Lions are killing it tonight.
When I drafted at the start of the year. Yahoo had my worst graded draft pick as Laporta.
I felt good about that pick. Fast forward to today. I often see Laporta ranked around the top three every week for TEs!
Shove it Yahoo!

Well rookie TE's, historically crap. Luckily they play him as a WR more so than a TE, so it works

Arthur Smith hates fantasy football. If you had any Falcons, you had an uphill climb to get to the playoffs because of him. But he most likely ended your playoff run today with that offensive performance
