    Yes, unless your roster cap equals your starters + reserves (unlikely since most leagues have IL spots). In general, you should always tie your pick-ups to a drop or IL move to avoid this issue.
    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

      Yes. CBS stupidly (what else is new) looks at Starters+Reserves+IL+Farm caps and if you have open spots, they will add players regardless of where they actually fall. That's why, as DMT said, you have to tie an end player into every move, because the system will stop when that end player is where you wanted to place him.

        so unfortunately, I have several open reserve spots, so I can't tie my moves to a player. So i guess I overbid and have to drop someone and lose FAAB money, or risk not filling my roster. Anyway, thanks to you and DMT for clarifying

          Do you have a farm system or players on the IL already? If so, just move them to your active roster and have them go back as the end move. Or if not, ask the commish to add a placeholder player.

            Its RJEL, I activated one guy from IL, but since I dropped Devensky to get under the cap, it won't let me add another (he still shows on roster for period 3, but I cant drop him in a FAAB transaction). I guess I should have just left him on my roster. if you have a chance to add him back sometime before Sunday night I would appreciate it, thanks.

              Just move a couple of rookies to your active roster (we won’t activate them) and have them go back to the minors as the end move.
