Players on teams whose games have been postponed due to COVID-19 are eligible for IR slots
The PIT/TEN game being postposed until later in the season means a lot of people will be scrambling to fill those spots, but it doesn't mean you should have to drop players to do so.
Players who have games PPD or cancelled are not eligible for an IR slot unless they are given the COVID, Out, or IR designation.

Why does it take so long for Yahoo to place a player on IR?
Austin Ekeler is on IR, they have him as "D". They did the same for Jalen Reagor. This needs to be done on Tuesday so you can pickup someone from waivers. They wait so long that you lose out on the waiver wire or have to give up another player.
We change the injury designation when the player’s team makes the update to the injury report.

COVID affected players on extra IR slots
Simply allow extra IR slots for weeks when players/teams may be postponed. This allows users to retain the players without penalty or having to remove other players they would have kept otherwise. The BYE week functionality forces to get rid of players that we don't want to.

Consistency across fantasy sites
In regards to Tayson Hill's eligibility, I understand that he's spent time under center, he has also spent time at TE. Similar to Joe Webb a few seasons ago, he should have both QB and TE eligibility. Even the player notes say that he has TE eligibility on most sites.. there should be consistency with Yahoo, in my opinion. Here are the Yahoo player notes - pay close attention to the last sentence:
"Despite Jameis Winston coming on in relief of Drew Brees (ribs, lung) last week, it will be Hill under center for the first snap against Atlanta. The…
Hello,
Thanks for the feedback.
Hill will remain with QB position eligibility only at this time as he is listed only as a QB on the Saints official roster at seen at https://www.neworleanssaints.com/team/players-roster/.
Position eligibility is determined by a player’s past participation and info our data provider collects from NFL teams. Our data provider makes the final decision (there’s no set criteria) on position eligibility including when a new position is added. If it’s determined that a player’s primary position has changed, then that player gains eligibility for the new position but won’t lose their original designation.

Status Change
When a player is noted to be out for the week. Can you change their status to "out" instead of doubtful right away? Ex. Drake and Godwin have already been ruled out for this week, but they are both noted as "doubtful" and not "out".
Thank you.
Hi Kyle,
Thanks for leaving feedback.
Player injury designations are determined by our data provider. Players who are not on the actual NFL IR will have their designation reset at the beginning of the new week. Once a team officially lists the player as out or on the IR, our data provider will update the player’s designation which will then get updated in our game.
The player notes are not official moves made by teams are is information provided by a data provider. So you will see that notes and the designation do not always align. Reports or the team saying a player will be out also are not enough to change the designation until they officially make that move to list the player out.
Thanks,

patterson
Cordarrelle Patterson should be WR / RB eligible.
I don't know why this has taken so many years, he clearly runs the ball out of the backfield every single week while also lining up out wide as a WR.
Please just add this eligibility most of us have been waiting years for.

Put Mostert on IR!
Help! Put Mostert on IR!
Hello Greg,
Thanks for reaching out.
Injury designations come from our data provider who will get information from the team including their official injury report. If you go to https://www.49ers.com/team/injury-report/, you will see Mostert is listed as out on their injury report for this week.
Once our data provider updates Mostert’s designation, it’ll update in our game but we have reached out to our fantasy team about this designation.
Mostert is still eligible for the IR roster spot in Yahoo Leagues that use the IR.
Thanks,

Remove Lamar Jackson from the Can't Cut List
Lamar Jackson is QB9 in standard scoring. He came in to week 11 about 1 point ahead of Teddy Bridgewater in total fantasy points.
He is 11th in fantasy points per game, behind guys like Ryan Fitzpatrick.
It seems like he is only on the list due to name recognition when his play has done nothing to make him a balance-shattering cut in even 10 team leagues.
Thanks for your feedback, I will pass that along to our product team for review.

Covid IR spot
Please implement a Covid only IR option for our rosters. As the world changes, this platform needs to make changes too.
Hi JP,
Thanks for your feedback.
There is not a specific “COVID IR” titled roster spot in the game. The traditional IR spot is what will be used for players who test positive for COVID.

Change the letter symbols for Questionable and Out
When using a small screen, it's hard to see the difference between a Q with an underline and an O with an underline. Alternatives would be to change the Q to a ? or change the O to an X. The way it is now is especially vexing because Q can change to O any time during the week.

tevin coleman has been moved to IR but you have not made that option available for owners and still have him listed as doubtful.

Hi Doug,
Thanks for reaching out.
A player’s injury designation is determined by out data provider. Once a team officially rules the player out for the game week or moves them to the IR, our data provider will update the status which will then update in our game.
At this time, Coleman has been updated to a designation of Out and is eligible for the IR roster spot in leagues.

Do not remove the IR designation from a player entering their BYE week.
The problem is that waivers won't let you add players because you have someone in the IR slot who is now Q status. But- how can a guy who was on IR be removed during their BYE week? They aren't going to play & they may or may not play the following week... Until they have at least a CHANCE to play they should remain on IR...
Thank you for this feedback. I’ve relayed this to our product team to review.
