How do taxi squads work?

Learn how taxi players impact your team on Sleeper

Written by Jacob

Taxi squads are available in dynasty leagues and give teams extra roster spots to stash rookies or younger players.


Players on taxi squads do not count against your normal roster limit.

In General Settings, commissioners can choose:

  • The number of taxi squad slots

  • The player experience limit

  • The deadline for adding players to taxi


Taxi Slots

Commissioners can set between 0 and 10 taxi squad slots for each team. Right now, players cannot be added directly to taxi.


Free agents or waiver pickups must first be added to your bench, then moved to taxi.


Taxi Squad Duration

This setting determines how many years of experience a player can have and still qualify for taxi. The limit can be set from 1 to 4 years, or set to No Max.

  • For example, if the limit is set to 1 year, any player with more than 1 year of experience before the season starts will not qualify.

Player experience updates at the end of each NFL season, not weekly.
​



Taxi Squad Deadline

Commissioners can also set a deadline for adding players to taxi squads.


Players can always be moved out of taxi and onto your active roster.

However, once the deadline passes, players cannot be moved back to taxi.



Allow Non-Rookies for Taxi

This setting allows non-rookie players to be eligible for taxi squads



Do you support taxi raiding?

No. Sleeper does not support taxi squad raiding or poaching players from another team’s taxi squad.
