How to Put a Player on Reserve in NFL Fantasy Football

Are you wondering how to put a player on reserve in NFL fantasy football? Find out how to do it and some tips to make sure you’re successful.

Introduction

In NFL fantasy football, you may find yourself in a situation where you need to put a player on reserve. Maybe an injury has sidelined one of your starters, or perhaps you drafted a player who is not yet ready to contribute. Whatever the reason, putting a player on reserve is a fairly simple process.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Login to your NFL fantasy football account.
2. Click on the “My Team” tab.
3. Find the player you want to place on reserve in the “Active Players” list.
4. Click on the “Reserve” button next to that player’s name.
5. That’s it! The player will be moved to your team’s reserve list and will not be eligible to accumulate points until you activate him again.

You can only put players on reserve during the NFL regular season, so if you have a player who is injured or inactive during the off-season, you’ll just have to wait until the season starts again before placing him on reserve.

What is a Reserve Player?

A Reserve Player in NFL Fantasy Football is a player who is not currently on an active roster for a team. A team may have any number of Reserve Players, but can only activate a maximum of four (4) per week. Reserve Players do not accumulate points while they are on Reserve.

How to Place a Player on Reserve

If a league owner has drafted more players than the roster limit permits, the owner may place any number of those players on reserve. A player on reserve does not accumulate statistics and cannot be started, but is still considered part of that team. If a league owner wishes to start accumulating statistics for a player on reserve, the owner must first remove the player from reserve status by dropping another player.

When to Place a Player on Reserve

In NFL fantasy football, a “reserve” is a designation for a player that is temporarily removed from an active roster. This may be due to an injury, bye week, or other circumstance. A player on reserve does not accumulate any fantasy points while inactive.

There are two types of reserves in NFL fantasy football: bench and injured. A bench reserve is a healthy player that is not currently starting. An injured reserve (IR) is a player that is injured and will miss significant time. These players are not eligible to return until the following season.

When to Place a Player on Reserve
There are several reasons why you might want to place a player on reserve:
-Injury: If a player is injured and will miss multiple weeks, it makes sense to place them on IR so they don’t take up a valuable roster spot.
-Bye Week: Every NFL team has one week off during the season (their bye week). During this time, none of their players will accumulate fantasy points. If you have too many players from the same team with a bye week, you may want to put one or more of them on reserve so you can activate other players.
-Matchup: Some players have easier or tougher matchups in any given week. If you have players with tough matchups, you may want to consider putting them on reserve in favor of other players with more favorable matchups.
-Preferences: Perhaps you simply have too many good players and need to make room for someone else on your roster. In this case, it may make sense to put a good player on reserve in order to activate another player that you think will score more points.
