What is a taxi squad in fantasy football?
A taxi squad is a dynasty-league feature that lets you stash young or rookie players off your main roster, so they don't count against your active roster limit.
A taxi squad is a developmental reserve in dynasty leagues for stashing rookies and young prospects without them counting against your roster cap.
Say you draft a raw rookie receiver who won't contribute this year — you can park him on your taxi squad to develop while keeping your active roster spots for players who help you win now. Leagues set eligibility rules (often limited to first- or second-year players), and a player typically can't be put in your lineup while on the taxi squad.
Taxi squads exist only in keeper and dynasty formats, where developing youth matters. Watch the rules carefully — if you activate a taxi player or expose him on waivers in some leagues, you can lose the ability to stash him.
