Draft Day considerations

There are several injured players who are potentially worth drafting next Saturday.

So there are a couple of things you should consider before possibly selecting one of them.

1. You can draft players who will open the season on the DL. You can select that player with one of your 16 picks, then immediately send that player to your fantasy DL. Then you could use one of your April moves to replace that player on your roster. Remember you have four monthly moves in April, as per league rules. You could draft two or three DL players if you want. But once the draft is over, any player on the DL cannot be acquired as a free agent.

2. You can draft players who will open the season in the minors. But remember, you have no place to put these players. They have to sit on your bench, and would be eligible to be stolen after spending four weeks on your bench. Again, any player who is not drafted, and who opens the season in the minors, will not be eligible to be acquired as a free agent.

3. After the conclusion of the draft on Saturday and before the start of games on Monday, you may drop players and acquired replacements with being charged an April move. However, you can't use one of these "free" moves to select a player who will open the season on the DL or in the minors. You must use one of your 16 draft picks to do that.

Things to think about.
