Allow FA pickups on Sunday to last until that game is played (Not 1 PM)

If a player is a late Sunday or even a MNF scratch it would be nice to be able to pick up a backup from the Free Agent pool in order to plug him in. It would keep the competitive balance of the league intact. The rules are simple; you can pick up a player up until HIS TEAM’S kickoff. Once that game is underway, the players will lock as they normally do.

This sounds good.

Should be noted that any player dropped as a result of picking up someone, you can not cut someone who is or has already played.

So it is 330 and you find out McFadden is injured and not playing at 4 (what else is new). So you go to pickup Rashad Jennings to give him the start. You can not drop any player who has already played or is playing. It must be someone from either the Sun afternoon, Sun Night or MNF game.

This rule was passed to allow pickups past 1PM on Sundays
