Take a breath.Wait a few minutes, then drop.Why can't I drop him? Yahoo says he already played today - he playes YESTERDAY, not today.Whats up with this?? When will I be able to drop him?
You can't change status of players who have already played.Why can't I drop him? Yahoo says he already played today - he playes YESTERDAY, not today.Whats up with this?? When will I be able to drop him?
Why did you even respond with that? Did it make you feel better?You expect somebody here to know or care? Why don't you read the Yahoo rules......
Settle down there Francis. I am assuming you are a bit feisty because you lost Torain as well?You expect somebody here to know or care? Why don't you read the Yahoo rules......
If he has already played for week 10 in your lineup, you can drop him after Monday night.Why can't I drop him? Yahoo says he already played today - he playes YESTERDAY, not today.Whats up with this?? When will I be able to drop him?
No, Just a well thought out response to a stupid question.Settle down there Francis. I am assuming you are a bit feisty because you lost Torain as well?You expect somebody here to know or care? Why don't you read the Yahoo rules......
Awesome. Been a while since I've put someone on my "ignore all posts from this person" list.No, Just a well thought out response to a stupid question.Settle down there Francis. I am assuming you are a bit feisty because you lost Torain as well?You expect somebody here to know or care? Why don't you read the Yahoo rules......
Hmmmm. That doesn't seem fair. You mean in your league, you can pick up a player before a Thursday game, watch his game to see if he's worth keeping, and then drop him and grab someone else to hold over the weekend? That's downright crazy. Every league I've ever played in locks any player on your ROSTER 5 minutes before his game and keeps him locked until all games are done for that week. To me that is the way it should be.habsfan said:I think "in your lineup" is key. He was on my bench and I had no trouble dropping him this AM.
why do I always see posts like this?why wouldn't you just put him on ignore instead putting up a "haha I'm ignoring you!" post?I will never get this.as far as the op goes, I believe he might be stuck on your active roster until sunday midnight pst, but I'm not 100% on that.I'm guessing they just treat thursday games like they were played on sunday.hove said:Awesome.

Yes it does. Torain already played his game this week. He will not be unlocked until all of the this weeks games are over. What wouldn't be fair is if you had Torain on your roster, and had the option to use him on Thursday... then in this case you choose to drop him and get another option for Sunday. It would be just as silly as if you were able to drop players after 1:00 games played, and start different ones for the later games on Sunday, or Monday.ALL players lock 5 minutes before gametime, and stay locked until all of the weeks games are over. That is the way it's supposed to be. I have Torain too... however, I obviously knew that I wouldn't be able to drop him as soon as I found out he was hurt. Also... I don't believe that you are able to drop your players on Monday... I am sure that it is on Tuesday, unless they don't play Monday Night Football in your league.I tried and I still can't drop him. This is annoying!! For Sunday games, I am always able to drop players on the Monday. This makes no sense!!
what the mother eff did I just tell you a couple posts up?why do I waste my time in these "woe is me!!" threads?edit: I'm putting you on ignore!I tried and I still can't drop him. This is annoying!! For Sunday games, I am always able to drop players on the Monday. This makes no sense!!
I think you can click on Week 11 and then try to drop him. If that doesn't work, try it SUNDAY night after the games. I think that has worked for me, but you MUST click on the next week before you try it.meanjoegreen said:If he has already played for week 10 in your lineup, you can drop him after Monday night.gbill2004 said:Why can't I drop him?

Thanks, I was about to do the same to you. You've obviously got some serious problems.what the mother eff did I just tell you a couple posts up?why do I waste my time in these "woe is me!!" threads?edit: I'm putting you on ignore!I tried and I still can't drop him.

The way it's supposed to be and the way it is are 2 entirely different things. I just dropped him in 2 of my Yahoo leagues. He wasn't in my starting lineup in either league for this week, though.Yes it does. Torain already played his game this week. He will not be unlocked until all of the this weeks games are over.

He wasn't in my line-up either. I know that I can't drop him in any of mine. Although... none of my leagues this year are on Yahoo.The way it's supposed to be and the way it is are 2 entirely different things. I just dropped him in 2 of my Yahoo leagues.

You start so many topics and ask this question..its simple he already played for week 10 have to wait now until week 10 is over..GEEZ!Try picking up a free agent from the Browns or Broncos...same results can't!gbill2004 said:Why can't I drop him? Yahoo says he already played today - he playes YESTERDAY, not today.Whats up with this?? When will I be able to drop him?
I'd say trust SinrmanOnce a player plays during a week, he's "locked in" and can't be traded or dropped. Think it "unlocks" after the MNF game...
I tried to say this in a way with my post #25..I never call any question stupid or dumb all have their rights to post and they have to accept the replies the way they come.This thread has been damn funny. Any chance footballguys starts a forum where stupid questions that don't belong in the shark pool get moved? I'm talkin about a forum where every post has you thinking, what was this guy thinking posting this dumb question in the shark pool.
Why not let you play new guy..week 10 games aren't till Sunday (just no Browns or Broncos players)..never played yahoo FF yet..and never will... rules there are weird.Hope this helps a bit.......Yahoo usually lets you play someone, then drop him the next day and pick up someone else, but that person isn't available to play until the following week's games. If you view your current week roster, it will still show the dud you dropped, but if you click to the next week's roster, it will show the new guy. For some reason, it isn't letting us drop Torain today - must be due to the Thurs game? Just wanted to clarify that it will let you drop/add, but not play the new guy in the same week.

Now IC what the OP wanted to know..FREE YAHOO LEAGUES..god why ask that here when some of us ante $500 a league (not me max 50)..never even join a free or pay yahoo league..hate it. Good luck tho with them if thats your choice!Hope this helps a bit.......Yahoo usually lets you play someone, then drop him the next day and pick up someone else, but that person isn't available to play until the following week's games.

11/7 Peyton Hillis (Den - RB) Add Free Agents
11/7 Ryan TorainP (Den - RB) Drop
I think what contributed to the confusion in this thread was that there were a few people who don't know the quirks of the 'free' Yahoo league waiver process but tried to offer advice based on how they think it ought to work.
