How do I use the IR (injured reserve) spot in my Fantasy Football League?

I created a Private League with friends, I added two IR spots in addition to the six bench spots. I am curious if the player must be IR'd in NFL before he can be in Fantasy or?

The idea our Commissioner had was to be able to use the extra IR slots so we didnt have to drop players that got temporarily injured, I feel two extra bench spots would have sufficed but any help will do... Thank You in-advance.

You move a guy to IR the same way you move him to your bench. If it doesn't let you move him there, then he's not eligible. Did you read the websites rules?

I can't figure it out either. I have IR spots in two other leagues outside of Yahoo, but I can't figure out how to use them in Yahoo. It's not even an option (when I try to move the player). We have two in my league.
