Commissioners: We heard you & added a new injury designation: COVID-Postponed. We'll apply it to all players on teams that have a game postponed due to COVID.
This gives you 100% flexibility. If you want PIT/TEN players IR eligible you can do that by editing your IR settings.
Disappointed to see this. Ultimately these teams will have their bye week moved to this weekend. So essentially now this enables the pleyers on these teams to go on IR during their bye week.
That's why we made it a separate injury designation -- the commish can prevent this by removing the COVID-Postponed designation from IR eligibility.
For example, your league won't be affected. The only players in your league that are eligible are those on the NFL's covid list (e.g., Ryquell Armstead).
The designation helps too. Once they made it, boom more positives. So guys would be going on the regular covid ir anyway. Then you have the week of more possibly coming up while they are on it. It's up to 16 already between players and personnel.
What if this is not considered By the NFL as an NFL bye week? As commish, I think I want to allow anyone with Steelers or titans players to use an IR spot for this week. Is there a way for me to set that up?
BS! The game was post-poned because of COVID 19. We made IR spots specifically for that! Every affected player should be tagged as COVID19! As usual, this site takes the lazy way out.
I tend agree, we added COVID IR spots for stuff like this, every Steeler - Titans player should be listed as COVID-19 for this week only. What if this happen in a week with 6 teams on bye; that would be 8 teams not playing. Re-think this please,
The most likely scenario for the game now if to have the Steelers and Ravens Week 8 matchup moved to Week 7 when both teams were to have their bye and then the Steelers and Titans will move to Week 7 when Tennessee has their bye week.
Because this is happening on a Thursday - it would be a lot easier if both teams players were given a Covid designation so we could use the IR slots as designed vs. doing manual workarounds
We are having to set IR to all players, manually make sure only steeler and texan players go there and I'm not sure what the affects are on waivers next week but will have to figure that out
FWIW Sleeper is changing their policy to make the Tenn/Pitt players Covid IR Eligible, I can't link to their twitter announcement though because of the filter.
I think this makes sense, given that a covid outbreak on a team is certainly going to drag the entire team down and not just one or two players like a normal injury. Now we have two entire teams going unavailable, and I think the same policy should apply here.
Piggybacking off this thread: will waiver claims for all other players (i.e. not titans/steelers) be till processed Wednesday morning? If so, what about Titan/steeler waivers?
Have a quick question on player projections for cancelled game. Is there anyway I can get the deleted projections for that game, full ppr league. We voted at draft to let teams take projected points if game was cancelled due to Covid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the Titans and Steelers play Monday or Tuesday, will FleaFlicker support that?

Need to add designation to D/ST before tonight's game!

What about the D/STs?

Thank you

Please also tag the Defenses :)
Joe_LaRosaThu 10/1/20 4:09 PM
Yes please include for the DSTs

thanks y'all

thank you
Crom75Thu 10/1/20 6:13 PM
Can I add two IR spots for covid? Got one guy with 8 players in the game and his IR already full with regular injuries and covid
SchaeffThu 10/1/20 6:29 PM
When will this take effect? I don't see it yet
pableezThu 10/1/20 6:39 PM
How do you edit the IR settings to include this CVP designation?
bertaasThu 10/1/20 6:40 PM
Thanks. I'll now pry my foot out of my mouth for my comments (which came of frustration). I apologise. You rock!

DS/T are now eligible too.

cjsfjSat 10/3/20 5:06 PM
fair idea.. I mean, I guess I didn't also anticipate that another game would be postponed.
At this rate they should just shift the whole season by a week ;)

JetThu 10/1/20 11:52 AM
I would think the entire rosters for Tennessee and Pittsburgh should be given COVID-19 designations.
fleafounder AdminThu 10/1/20 10:26 AM
Steelers-Titans game postponed to later in season: nfl.com
On Fleaflicker, Steelers and Titans players will show no matchup for week 4 (like a bye).
And no special injury designations will be applied except for players explicitly placed on the NFL's COVID-IR.
Crom75Thu 10/1/20 10:30 AM
Thanks! Quick response to this crazy crap! You rock!

LouisB, are you saying commish is able to tag the players as IR eligible?
louisbThu 10/1/20 11:43 AM
You can set the limit to healthy which means you can put anyone there but you then have to police it manually

NFL just stated it won't be played week 4 because more Titans players and staff tested positive. No reschedule date yet but not a Week 4 game.

If the NFL counts it for week 4 that's what we'll do as well.
We'll wait until an official announcement on when the game will be played.

If postponed to another week, will individual players be designated with OUT/COVID so we can put them on IR?
Statto00Wed 9/30/20 2:02 PM
We'd be treating it like a bye week.

so this would be their bye
McGoThu 10/1/20 2:06 PM
Too bad the system doesn't have a "Bye Week" injury designation. There's every other kind of IR designation.
