Don't forget that again this season the NFL has scheduled Thursday games from week 10 through week 16. These early games may affect your league's waiver and/or starting lineup rules. To minimize any potential confusion for your owners, it's a good idea to verify your setup and ensure that it's defined as you had intended. Also be sure to remind your owners about the Thursday game this week!
- Starting Lineups. If your league's lineup deadline as defined in the For Commissioners > Setup > Weekly Lineup Setup screen is:
- Kickoff - all players must be started by the kickoff of the first game each Thursday.
- Early - players in early games (Thursday-Saturday) are locked at kickoff of their individual game and all Sunday & Monday players must be submitted by Sunday at 1 pm ET.
- Gametime - lineup submissions will continue as they have all season.
- Calendar - be sure to have either 'Lineup Deadline For All Games' and/or 'Lineup Deadline For Thursday Games' defined in the For Commissioners > Setup > League Calendar Setup for each of weeks 12-16.
- Copy Lineups. If your league also chooses to copy lineups for those owners that do not submit a lineup for the current week, please be sure to understand your three options on the Setup > Starting Lineup Setup screen and how they will work with your Lineup Deadlines.
- Waivers. If your league's waiver settings as defined in the For Commissioners > Setup > League Calendar Setup screen include:
- A waiver event with an end time of "Kickoff of week xx" then be advised that kickoff of week 10 occurs Thursday, November 6th.
- A waiver request or blind bidding waiver event that extends beyond Thursday morning, then waivers will not process in time for owners to include any player awards in their Thursday lineups. You may want to use the League Calendar Setup to edit your week 10-16 waiver events.
- Standings. Please note that if you selected to have your standings update As Soon As Preliminary (Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) Results Are Available, then on Friday morning your standings will display preliminary wins/losses for the week based on these Thursday games.
With a little time spent checking your settings now, you might be able to avoid any confusion next week.
