Been using this site for over a decade but not sure what’s I’ll this year
A couple times this year when teams go to add someone and have a guy on IR it won’t let them pick them up until they drop a guy on IR? But shouldn’t be that way…if you have someone on ir and they’re out shouldn’t effect anything with the rest of your lineup (like a guy had James Connor on ir right now and was trying to get Michael Carter and drop guy on his bench)m and kept getting that error. This has happened to me multiple times this year. How do I turn off whatever was changed this year
Well to add to this, it takes the app about 4-5 minutes to update and acknowledge that the player on IR is eligible for IR. In my leagues I advise the owner of the team to move the player on IR to their bench in order to pick up the player on the waivers. The leagues that are affected by this are the ones that allow pickups at 5am on Tuesday mrng when the new week begins.
I’ve been doing since like 2007 I’ve never once had it happen (always have guys on IR. It has happened almost every week and have had multiple guys say the same when they tried (have been in the league just as long).
And no, you can check my lineup. I had 3 QBs and (so my extra spot was qb). On my IR I had burrow and aiyuk. All I was doing was picking up up Michael Carter (rb) snd dropping geno smith (qb). So my ir stayed exactly the same and both out for weeks to come (so, literally nothing changed there so the IR shouldn’t effect anything)
So, as long as my add/drop is legal it should go through (for the extra slot I’m just aching from my extra slot have 3 qb’s and 4 rb’s to 2 qb’s and 5 rb’s). The final roster after transaction would have been…
You can check my lineup as I’ll want to pick up a player Tuesday morning when lineups unlock. The player wil be gone in 2 seconds and I know it’s going to give me the same error
1. My lineup is legal
2. I should be able to drop a running back and pick a running back up as my lineup is legal and I’m just changing the names at the rb spot
3. Having someone in IR shouldnt impact that (and never has before) as neither guy wil be playing anytime soon
4. I know you said it’s been like this but I know for a fact it hasn’t. Have been doing this weekly for 17 years and have never once got that error (and get it every week now if someone is on my IR)
I will say that it happened this mrng right at 5am. The second time I tried to add the player it allowed me too. Maybe a 10 sec difference between attempts.

Nothing changed. It’s possible you’re hitting a position maximum? The only IR rule is you can’t have an ineligible player on IR
