If the team that had the cowboys didn't pick then up the week after the bye then the are open for all....
Waiver order in play, if they clear waivers then you can just grab them ....
My Seahawks were off week 5 .... I dropped them and picked up another team.....
The following week I picked them back up and dropped the other team..... Or I would of lost them
Same with your kicker
The system doesn't allow us to put them in a slot to keep them off the waiver wire.....
Like I said YOU HAVE TO POLICE THIS YOURSELF..... If someone grabbed your team or kicker let me know.... I can't watch 9 other teams
