P.S. We had discussed this quite a few years ago. Allowing transactions that had missed deadlines. I believe this was the agreed resolution, letting those transactions go last so that everyone still got a chance to draft.
Enabler here. Yes, for the sake of peace and harmony, I have allowed some bending of the rules. Sometimes I get an email for pick-ups at Thursday 1 or 2 am and not midnight. We're not all in the same time zone. Sometimes someone thought they posted a player on the message board but "forgot". We all have lives and are busy. I get it.
But let's be clear. Those people who don't follow the rules DON'T get to pick in the order they normally would. I allow them to still complete their transactions, AFTER all the rule followers have gotten their free agent picks. I do this primarily so there is more money in the final kitty. And secondarily so that even when a team is having a shitty year, they don't get too discouraged and might have some hope of having a good week at some point.
If you all would prefer that I be a hard-ass and follow the rules to the letter, I will be happy to do so. But think about it. Have you ever been the beneficiary of me bending the rules for you? Stones, glass houses, etc.
Dropping Rachaad White and Zach Moss (RBs), Juju Smith Schuster and Amari Cooper (WRs) and Green Bay K.

drop laporta
drop Sermon
Drop RB Tajae Spears, C McCafrrey
Something is not adding up. Is there another place drops are being posted besides this message board that I should be checking? Today's transactions report and the Tuesday message board drop announcements are not in sync.
Only IR - out for the season gets first pick, free pick. All other players are drafted based on your standings in league. It's advisable to see who is getting dropped on the message board, so you can know if there's an IR pick ahead of you.
Dropping Amari Cooper and JSN (WRs), Mostert, Moss and White (RBs), Miami QB and Rams K.
Potentially dropping Kirk, Jennings, and Worthy.
Pacheco is not out for the season, but his surgery went well and his return is projected in 6-8 weeks, which would put him optimistically at Week 12. Let's face it, if the Chiefs make it to 8-0 or 9-1, they'll rest him even longer so he'll be healthy for the playoffs, so yeah, Fishsticks, why are you torturing yourselves?
Maybe we explore next year a $50 bottom feeder prize for the team with the worst record of the year?
The Orcas, like most other whales, have spent a good deal of their time plying the depths of the standings, so it feels pretty damn good to breech the surface and win a week. it doesn't change the fact that Seattle would rather play Walker as long as he's healthy and that Charbonnet's touch count is going to shrink as long as that's the case. We Orcas will never root for a player to be injured, so despite the fact that we like Zach, and he's a damn fine player, we're again going to potentially cut him from our roster if there's someone more promising available by the time we get to pick. But it's not like that seems very likely to happen.
DROP RB Zamir White. Potential CMcCaffrey drop (IR). Potential WR Xavier Legette drop pending MRI news.

And right on que we lost our rb now - well be playing 2 zeros. Bad luck sure , poor strategy , perhaps - but for sure not fun. Injuries happen but to not be able to play anyone in their place feels antithetical to fantasy sports in general.

potentially DROP WR Zay Flowers & RB C McCaffrey (IR)
It's possible that the Orcas will release Zach Charbonnet. It's also possible that we won't. Depends on who we might be able to pick up. Time will tell.
Drop Akers and Cin D
But I appreciate the ideas about the IR slot. So we can work through the plusses and minuses this season to add the rule with minimal impact next year.
The reason for the free agent deadline for our league is the Thursday night games. And if I extend the deadline for injury reports for free agent pick-ups, to Friday, how do we deal with players that have already played?
I know injuries are frustrating, but we all suffer from a down player IR or not, at some point. How each team owner deals with it is part of what wins you a week or the season or puts you in the basement.
Can we just keep this league special?
Dropping Clevland D, Pittman, and conditionally Worthy, Swift
The Orcas are conditionally cutting bait on Ty Chandler, Alec Pierce, the Colts K and the Colts Def.

It's pretty clear that you have a problem when your active kicker scores more points than all three of your active receivers -- COMBINED!
Accordingly, the Orcas will conditionally drop zero targets Christian Watson and three targets Sam LaPorta.

Lucy, we got some droppin' to do... Trey Benson, Christian Watson, Courtland Sutton... All potentially banished.
