Why is a player undroppable

When a claim is resolved, the waiver position for the team that receives the player is changed to the lowest possible priority 10 , and all the other teams move up a position. No you can not drop a player that has already played during the week, you must wait until Tuesday at 3am PST. You can designate a drop but it will be pending until the Week is over.

Thank you. This worked. Only you and any co-owners you have can see your FAAB bids or waiver claims. Your commissioner does not have any access to your claims or who you are bidding on.

They cannot see how much you have bid on any player. You can pick up people immediately. On this day, free agency begins at am PDT. Waivers: They will clear at the selected processing time, but there is NOT free agency afterward. In more extreme cases like Steven Jackson earlier this year and Ronnie Brown now, I think most formats dropped them from their undroppable list quickly after the injury.

As previously mentioned the purpose of them is to save people from themselves. Say for example Tomlinson gets little to no points in the first few weeks, he still shouldn't be dropped by impatient owners as that type of move could ruin the integrity of a league. Even if you don't want a guy that's on the list I can guarantee someone would give up a better player than what's available on FA for the guy.

Harrison could easily draw a solid WR from an owner in good shape to make the playoffs, why drop him? I think the only way a player gets removed from the can't cut list is if they go on IR. I had McNab last year. On Yahoo they removed Rudi from the can't cut list this year after his injury. I am not sure if there is a specific number of games they are out that triggers it or what, but they took him off the list. Chances are that you are in a custom league. The commish can change this for you if you aske him.

Tell him to change it from the can't cut list. I'm in a league that's very shallow for WRs. Now I'm hoping Harrison is OK for the rest of the year. I also have Reggie Wayne and Plaxico both also undroppable.

Not sure if it's good to have 2 WRs from the same team, but if Peyton Manning is throwing to both of them, I guess it's okay! I can see not wanting to mess up the league for others, but don't see that owners should need protecting for themselves - for me, it's part of a learning process. I dropped Drew Brees a week before he returns to form? Next year, I'll keep him on the bench a little longer. It's not like this is life or death, like a railing on a high balcony I could go for an adjustable list.

AP should definitely be on it. In the same way, Shaun Alexander should be off it from my own biased perspective as an owner. I'm not really convinced that any wide receiver should be on it at the beginning of the year In private leagues, the Commish can turn on and off the can't cut list in Yahoo, and I believe that in leagues where all of the managers are not the type to dump-assassinate the league, the can't cut list should never be used, no exceptions. There's no point to it.

This year Carl Crawford went down for the year but wasn't taken off the can't cut list for almost two weeks. Rules surrounding undroppable players exist primarily to prevent collusion. Without a list of undroppable players, two well-acquainted managers could strike a deal in which the manager of a struggling team drops star players so that the manager of a contending team can scoop them up and drastically increase their chances of winning the league, and possibly a large sum of money.
