• ▸IR capacity 2 from host roster_positions — park Out before cutting depth
• ▸FAAB balance from sync; IR parking ≠ a bid
• ▸We advise; Sleeper places the lineup

1. Published FLEX only — never invent a second seat.

   • Roster cap: 15 countable players.

4. Live FAAB balance from sync — $0 flips to priority.

   Ask: Is my FAAB spent?

   No — $50 FAAB left

   FAAB is not spent — you still have $50 to bid under Half PPR · with FLEX. “FAAB spent” means the budget hit $0; then claim order usually flips to waiver priority.

   • FAAB on sync: $50
   • Waiver priority #4
   • Board idea: FA WR
   • Connected scoring: Half PPR · with FLEX.

5. Parking Out on IR ≠ a waiver bid.

   Ask: Does IR parking spend FAAB?

   IR parking ≠ FAAB spend

   Parking an Out on IR does not spend FAAB or a waiver claim under Half PPR · with FLEX — it frees a countable seat. FAAB/priority only applies when a claim clears. Homefield only parks Out players.

   • IR move: Sam Darnold
   • FAAB on sync: $50
