Setting Your Lineup

Team owners are responsible for choosing a starting lineup each week of the fantasy season. When viewing the roster of a team that you own, you can start or bench players. For example, to swap a different starter into the QB position, first bench (one of) your current QB(s) to free up a spot. Then you may switch the status of any quarterback to QB, making that player a starter.

You may not change the start/bench status of a player once that player's game for a particular week has started. So if Peyton Manning has a game on Sunday at 8 PM, you can change his start/bench status any time before 8 PM. To be safe, make sure that you make the change at least 5 minutes before the game kicks off (our server's clock may differ slightly from yours).

Roster Legality

Leagues can specify maximum, minimum, and starting requirements at each position. Owners will never be allowed to violate a roster maximum, but it is possible to temporarily dip below the minimum requirements (e.g., when trading away more players than you receive). When you go below the minimum at a certain position, your roster is illegal. Some leagues enforce roster minimums and teams below a roster minimum will be unable to add players at other positions.
