Setting up the play?
No you won't be able to. Once yahoo activates him then it won't allow you edit lineup without taking out the extra body first. It'll give you an error message that you have an ineligible player on IR.
It just depends how fast yahoo updates the IR part.
Hmmm interesting. My strategy with Dubinsky was (on Monday) to drop a player and put him in on Tuesday, but then go forward and put him back on the IR on Wednesday and continue setting my lineups. Therefore Dubinsky is currently on the IR today despite not having IR status on Yahoo. And I'm able to move around pieces of my lineup at will.
But that may not work if I had tried to keep him on the shelf tomorrow if say he didn't have a game.
I guess I've never really tested the limits as much as you have, tfong.
