Thanks, for some reason I thought I could drop a player after their game had started but I was probably confusing that with players on my bench after their game started. I have Jeffrey and Sanders on a bye so I can't drop either of them and then Maclin and Watkins both of whom I have a bad feeling won't play this week and who I'm not willing to drop. Hopefully I can win with 2 wideouts : - P
On Yahoo!, the system won't allow you to drop a player the same day you've started him (for obvious reasons, as others have pointed out)...however, it will allow you to drop a player you started Sunday, on Monday, but that transaction won't be effective until the following week (in other words, the player you pick-up can't be started until the next week)...again, for obvious reasons...
I've never tried that, and not sure if CBS allows it. I would think a player on my roster in a bench spot is part of my roster for that week once their game has started. If I've got some guy on my bench who gets injured out for the season, why should I be able to drop him for somebody else in a game that hasn't started yet.
"Thanks, for some reason I thought I could drop a player after their game had started but I was probably confusing that with players on my bench after their game started."
Our league does not lock players until 5 minutes before kickoff like most, but once their game kicks off I cannot move from bench to active or drop them. The OP seems to think it should be allowed to not only drop a bench player after their game started, but also to use one roster spot for 2 players in the same weeks playing in different time slots.
Actually he was going to keep the low score (let's assume WR1 slot). What he was asking was that if he wanted a receiver for the other WR2 spot that he hadn't used yet could he drop the current WR1 Receiver to pick him up and start him.
The obvious question, which no one else has pointed out, is why does the OP want to hold 2 DEF instead of dropping GB (bye) to grab a starting WR? DEF are by far the easiest slot to stream vs. match-up on a weekly basis...just sayin'
We've been using your accessible player for a few months now at Tufts University and it's working well for us. I made a small change to your code and I wanted to pass it along in case someone else might find it useful. This change makes the player resume play (after being paused) from the point at which it was paused rather than from the beginning of the track. Here are the diffs:

You may also be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility as proof of your eligibility to participate in the Contests. You will be required to provide this information within ten (10) days after Yahoo first attempts to contact you. If you fail to comply with this deadline, Yahoo may disqualify you from further participation, and withhold or revoke any prizes at its sole discretion. If Yahoo chooses to disqualify you on this basis, it will refund the Contest entry fee for the Contest from which you were disqualified.
Athletes, coaches, and other team management, team support personnel, and team owners are not eligible for any Yahoo Contests in the sport or sports in which their team competes. Team owners, referees, league employees, sports commissioners, sports agents and other individuals who, through an ownership interest or game-related employment, can influence gameplay in the real world game are also ineligible.
A valid Yahoo ID is required to participate in Yahoo Sports Paid Fantasy. If you do not have a Yahoo ID, you will be prompted to sign up for one before being permitted to enter or participate in a Contest offered on the Service. Please ensure that your contact information is accurate, up-to-date, and complete. This information is mandatory if you wish to be eligible to win and collect prizes. A user who has not provided valid registration information will automatically be deemed ineligible and will not be considered for a prize. A valid PayPal account or credit card is also required to add funds to your Yahoo Fantasy Sports account and to receive and collect a prize. A valid PayPal account or credit card may only be associated with a single Yahoo ID. Deposit limits will be clearly marked on your account settings page. You may request an increase in your deposit limit, and may lower your deposit limit at any time. For more information please refer to our Responsible Gaming Policy.
Please note that Contests may only be played under the Yahoo ID with which they were created or entered, and may not be transferred to another Yahoo ID or played by another person. Also, you may not share an account with another person or allow another user to play under your Yahoo ID. Likewise, you may not enter a Contest on behalf of someone without a Yahoo ID, or that is ineligible to participate in the Contest. As a rule, each Contest entrant ("Entrant") is allowed to play under one Yahoo ID. It is at Yahoo's sole discretion and judgment to determine whether multiple Yahoo IDs belong to the same Entrant. If you are found to be participating in the Contests using more than one Yahoo ID, such penalties may include, but are not limited to, disqualification from current and future Contests and forfeiture of Contest entry fee(s) or potential winnings.
In order to be prize-eligible in Best Ball Contests, you must either edit your pre-draft rankings or manually make at least one pick during the draft. If you do not edit your pre-draft rankings or make at least one manual pick, you will not be eligible to win any prizes. Auto-draft is not allowed as an option during Best Ball drafts. If you disconnect from the draft we will make picks on your behalf, but you will not be prize eligible unless you make at least one pick (or have edited your pre-draft rankings). In addition, if your optimal lineup consists of players from less than three teams, you will not be eligible to win prizes.
In order to be prize-eligible in Public Prize League contests, you must accept the Paid Fantasy Terms of Service and if you are unable to attend the live draft, you must accept the Yahoo Pre-Draft Player Rankings. In the event that a potential prize winner is deemed ineligible for any reason, the prize may be awarded to the next eligible participant in the League's final standings. Should such a substitution be necessary, the prize positions will be shifted proportionally. For example, if a potential second place prize winner is deemed ineligible, the third place finisher, if eligible, will be awarded the second place prize, the fourth place finisher, if eligible, will be awarded the third place prize, and so on. No winner will receive double prizes as the result of a higher-ranked participant being deemed ineligible.
Collusion in Public Prize Leagues is expressly prohibited. You may not collude with other managers to attempt to join the same league, or collude in any way throughout the season to stack or in any way provide an unfair advantage to one team or another.
Private Prize League Contests are private, custom leagues and the commissioner, in conjunction with Yahoo, may configure League Settings accordingly. Yahoo will administer the collection of entry fees and awarding of cash prizes but will not transmit funds on behalf of commissioners or Entrants.
Commissioner permissions and tools are restricted in Private Prize League Contests. Some commissioner tools are completely unavailable. Some become unavailable when the Commissioner has formally locked teams into the League or when teams can enter the draft (whichever comes first). Other commissioner tools are always available. See our help article for a complete list of Commissioners Tools and when they lock in Private Prize League Contests.
Commissioners may convert existing private leagues created to Private Prize Leagues so long as the league has not yet drafted. After a league has drafted, it may not convert to a Private Prize League unless the commissioner resets the draft and schedules a new draft for the league.
Private Prize League allows for different league sizes, from as few as 4 teams to as many as 20. In order for a Contest to run, the League must have the number of teams listed in the League Settings. A Contest will not run unless all slots have been filled and paid. If your League does not fill up before its scheduled draft time, the draft will not take place. If the draft does not take place for this reason, the commissioner may reschedule the draft, cancel the Contest or delete the League (which automatically cancels the Contest). If a League is filled at the scheduled draft time but not all teams have paid the entry fee, the draft will proceed. However, all teams must pay by the deadline set by the commissioner or the Contest will be canceled.
