1. You don't have to start a player at every roster position, but fantasy points and statistics are only accumulated by those players on your starting roster. We keep track of statistics for players in bench spots, but you don't receive any scoring that counts toward your team totals.
2. Players are only eligible to play at the positions designated by Yahoo! Sports, and some players might be eligible at more than one spot.
3. If you pick up a player, but later realize you didn't want him on your team, you can immediately waive him. However, you can only claim and waive the same player two times every 24 hours.
4. All Public Leagues have one IR spot, while Private League commissioners can choose to have up to five IR positions. Any player is eligible to be placed on the IR as long as he's on the real-life injured list. Once on the IR, a player can stay there for the entire season, even if he returns to real-life action. However, when a player comes off the real-life IR, you cannot complete any transactions until you remove him from your team's IR. You can, however, make intra-roster moves (switching players between bench and active) regardless of a player's IR status.
5. All managers can set rosters for dates in the future by going to the proper day on their team page and making the needed changes. However, all future lineups are lost if a current player is dropped or traded, or if a new player is added to the current roster. So, if on Monday, you submitted a roster for the upcoming Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but then go and pick up a free agent, your future lineup changes are all lost even though they had been saved earlier.
