If you don't have a specific written rule on it then it's fair game.

Why should it be any different in the playoffs than it is during the year?

Faab is the way to go. Two of the playoff teams blew their entire budget already. I was going to pick up guys to block them, but a non playoff team outbid me. Works for me. Budget management should be rewarded.

I see no problem with this and encourage it. I'm playing the guy 7th in waiver order and he gets whoever he wants because the first six are out of the playoffs? frick no.

Also you get ridiculed more for last place in my league than you get praise for first (prize money aside). If I'm in the losers bracket (I often am), I'm still trying to win.

I think it is the job of those eliminated to still freaking play the game.

Hell I have never missed the playoffs till this year. I said I was going to ride sam bradford before the season began till the wheels fell off. I never thought that would be the case.

Well the wheels fell off but I kept my word. And now I am still playing because I think it is the right thing to do. I grabbed Bryce Brown off of waivers.

Little did I know that freaking Christine Michael would get signed by the seahawks.

Tell the commish to lock eliminated teams once the playoffs start. Problem solved.

I'm out of playoffs and did not put in a claim off of waivers. However, if someone is available a day or two after waivers clear then it's fair game.

The right thing to do would be to shut down your season if you are done.

If you want to be active and participate come playoff time, make the playoffs. You had all season to compete and make roster adjustments. If you didnt make it this season, it's time to step aside and let the big boys play

Need more background. If it is a keeper league or dynasty I have no issue with it. If it is standard redraft every year they should be taken out back and beaten.

I did it this year. Lost by less than a point. I picked up players in case a stat correction have me the win. I consider that fair game.

If money is involved, then without a doubt only the teams with a chance to win money should be allowed on waivers.
