MyFantasyLeague.com Partners with Rotowire.com to Provide Better Injury Updates (Published Tue Sep 16 12:05:49 a.m. ET 2008)
Starting in Week 3, MyFantasyLeague.com will be updating its player injury information and procedures. Instead of relying on the official injury report from the NFL, which isn't released until Friday evenings, we will now use Rotowire.com as our official source of player injury designations. This will result in more timely and accurate injury information for your league since the injury information for players will be updated daily instead of just once a week on Friday night. The same designations will still be used for players (IR, Out, Doubtful, Questionable, and Probable), so you can still use the same fantasy injured reserve rules.
Additional details about this change to be aware of:
The Wednesday night "Practice Report" updates and player designations will no longer be used.
Players that are injured on Sunday or Monday will now be updated much sooner with an injury status.
Players that are on various unofficial injury lists, such as the PUP list or the Suspended list, will now be listed as "Out".
Players on a bye week that are still injured will have an injury designation during their bye week even though they would otherwise not appear on the official NFL injury report for that week.
The first update with this new system will occur on Wednesday evening (Sept 17th).
We're confident that this new injury information will be much more timely and useful from a fantasy football perspective compared to the previous reliance on the official NFL injury updates. However, if you do not want to use these more timely updates for whatever reason, and only want to rely on the Friday injury report for your league, you can create a new "No Injured Reserve Moves Allowed" league calendar event that ends Friday night when the final official injury report will be updated for your league.
As always, if you have any additional questions, suggestions or comments regarding this change, please see our Help Center
