Update Injury status
Josh Jacobs has been designated as N/A instead of O for out!?!? What is that?? I can't move him to an IR spot for the week so I can pick up a plug-in player for today! Every other platform has him as (O) out.
Thank you for reaching out regarding the injury status for Josh Jacobs. Our data provider updates the injury designations for players and will not list someone as IR or Out until the team officially makes a transaction to put the player on IR or they officially rule the player out for the game. Once the moves are official, our data provider will update the designation which will then update in our game. The injury status for Jacobs was updated shortly after he was officially ruled out.

Once a player is in the IR slot, he should be able to remain in the IR slot until he plays again.
Fix the IR or O to Q or D to IR or ) to Q or D to IR or O roller coaster. See Terry McLaurin, for example.
Every single week, I can't make moves until Saturday or even Sunday because the guys I have on IR are then deemed to be Q or something and I have to drop them or not make moves. Then because they are STILL HURT, I can finally make moves on the weekend once they are ONCE AGAIN deemed to be hurt. I miss out on players.
You have to be realistic about how…
Hi,
Thanks for your feedback.
A player will be eligible to remain in the IR roster spot as long as they have 1 of the following designations: IR (Injured Reserve), NFI-R (Non-Football Injury (Reserve)), NFI-A (Non-Football Injury (Active)), O (Out), or Physically Unable to Perform (PUP).
These designations are determined by our data provider. If a player is not on the NFL IR list, their designation will reset at the beginning of each new game week until they are officially ruled out by their team for that week. A player on bye who is listed as out should remain with that designation during their bye week.
Thanks,

Add the ability to designate specific backups for injury designation week to week
For a given week, it would be nice to have the ability to designate a specific backup player to swap out for a specific starter if their status is uncertain and they end up sitting the game out. You could argue that you don't want owners putting their teams on autopilot with settings like that, but this designation could be very specific and only apply to the current week. Plus, even sportsbooks are voiding some bets if a player is injured for a game, so it seems there is precedent for this. Thanks.

Injured players on IR should not be "Q" until they are expected to return
Players listed as "out" should be designated as "out" until they will play again. This week McLaurin is not going to play, per his coach. Yet he's listed as "Q". I have him on IR from last week, meaning I have to drop someone to make a move, even though he WILL NOT play this week, and is on bye next week. This is frustrating as F...

Player Availability Designation
Please give some consideration to leaving players designated as OUT until it's 100% certain that they will play that week. Right now, many times the player moves to Questionable from OUT, but then doesn't actually play that week.
Hey Edward,
Thanks for your feedback.
Injury designations are determined by our data provider. If a player is not officially on the IR, their injury designation will reset at the start of a new game week until they are officially ruled out for the new game week. If a player has changed to O and has a bye the following week, they should remain with the current designation.
Thanks,

Update your injury report in REAL TIME
I have a player in IR who's current designation in Yahoo is Questionable, where all other sites- press, sports websites, fantasy football sites - where Yahoo continues to delay updates, currently preventing me to from making roster moves. Either catch up with the world or allow leagues to update designations or customize IR.
Hi Kom,
Our injury designations are determined by our data provider. If a player is not officially on the IR, once the player's team officially rules them out for the week through their official injury report, or an official update on the team's page (such as X), then our data provider will update the player's designation to update in our game.
Thanks,

Keep NFL player status as Out or IR until they get cleared to return
Examples: Ricky Pearsall and Calvin Ridley. Neither has been place on IR by their respective teams, but both have been out for multiple weeks without even practicing. Instead of flip-flopping their status between Out and Questionable every week, why not leave their status as Out until they are actually cleared to return? Benefit:
This would allow owners of these players to leave them in their IR slot until they are active, which in turn allows them to keep their replacement player, instead of dropping the replacement into the FA pool at the beginning of the week, only to have to…Hi Yves,
Player injury designations are determined by our data provider.
When a player is not on the official IR, their injury designation will reset at the start of the new game week. Once the team officially rules the player out for that week, our data provider will update the designation so it updates in our game. Please note that a report saying the player will be out does not change their designation.
Thanks,

Out/IR management
If a player is listed as "out", he should remain "out" until he is deemed to return. Making him "questionable" right away is wrong. It screws up being able to use the waiver wire on Tuesdays. Fantasy teams don't have extra players to drop to activate "questionable" players so we can use waivers on Tuesdays
Hi Kyle,
A player's injury designation is determined by our data provider. When a team officially moves a player to the IR or officially rules them out for the game week, then our data provider will update their designation, which then updates in our game. If a player is not on the actual IR, their designation will update at the beginning of the new game week, unless they have a bye, then it should remain unchanged.
Thanks,

IR is flawed
Terry Mclaurin hasn't played in 3 weeks I should be able to make roster moves while having him on IR
Thank you for your feedback regarding the IR position. Our data provider updates the injury designations for players and will not list someone as IR or out until the team officially makes a transaction to put the player on IR or they officially rule the player out for the game week which doesn't need to be done until an hour and a half before kickoff. Once the moves are official, our data provider will update the designation which will then update in our game.
Once the game week is over, a player who was listed as out will have their status change back to an IR-ineligible status like questionable or doubtful until the team officially rules them out for the next game again. When you have a player in your IR spot who is not IR-eligible, you cannot add any players or make any trades until the player is removed…

IR spot for someone who is only out for 1 week?
One of my league managers is able to put Justin Fields in his IR spot currently. Justin Fields is NOT on the IR. He is labeled as OUT for this week only due to concussion. Managers should not be allowed to put someone on IR when they aren't actually on IR.
Thank you for your feedback regarding placing a player listed as out on the IR. Out is an IR-eligible status in fantasy football and you can see this here. We appreciate your feedback and we will pass it along to our team!

Update Quicker
Aaron Jones was put on the IR and you still have him as OUT. That matters before waiver wire tomorrow.
Thank you for reaching out regarding the injury status for Aaron Jones. Our data provider updates the injury designations for players and will not list someone as IR or Out until the team officially makes a transaction to put the player on IR or they officially rule the player out for the game week. Once the moves are official, our data provider will update the designation which will then update in our game shortly after.

Doubtful players need to be eligible for IR
Sleeper already does this. This is an extremely aggravating part of fantasy… when a team or coach announces that a player will be out or on IR but ~ officially ~ he isn’t marked out yet, but everyone knows they’re gonna be out, and even they’re marked as doubtful on yahoo, then they need to be eligible for IR. I don’t care if they’re not tEcHnIcAlLy marked out or on IR yet, if everyone and their mother knows that a player will be out, then mark them doubtful and allow them to go on IR. It’s very simple and time…

Judkins OUT designation
How is Quinshon Judkins OUT?? He should be NA or something so managers aren’t able to stash him in an IL spot

WHY IS DEMARCUS LAWRENCE NOT ON IR VS. D?????
WHY IS DEMARCUS LAWRENCE NOT ON IR VS. D
Hi!
Demarcus Lawrence has been updated to IR as the Cowboys officially placed him on the Injured Reserve list. Please note that players must be officially placed on IR by the team in real-life for their status to update in fantasy.

Issue with IR Spot in Yahoo Fantasy Football
I’ve noticed an issue with how the IR (Injured Reserve) spot is currently working in Yahoo Fantasy Football. It seems that if a player on a team is no longer designated as injured (and thus no longer eligible for the IR spot), the system should ideally prompt the team to adjust their roster. However, as it stands, the team can still keep the player in the IR slot indefinitely, even after they return to active play.
While they are unable to add or drop players without removing the ineligible player from the IR spot, teams that don’t need to make…
Hi Mo,
A player can stay on the IL, IL+, IR, IR, or NA for the entire season, even if they return to real-life action; https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN28136.html.

The IR slot should emulate the NFL IR status.
It's crazy that Yahoo allows players to sit on IR the whole season, even if they're active. Yahoo should follow the NFL protocol. If an NFL player comes off of IR, Yahoo should not allow fantasy players to stay on IR.
