Re: Starting salary cap league… questions
In reverse order:
Waivers:
Waiver wire management isn't tied to league format (cap, head-to-head, total points, draft, dynasty) in any meaningful way. I've seen leagues run all sorts of different ways with different formats, and they can all work.
Injuries:
Every league I'm in has a way to deal with replacing injured players. Almost all have IR slots; the one in my sig has replacement of players who don't play in a given period with someone from your bench. I'm in no leagues where IR counts against the cap, and I'd find it very strange for it to count against the cap. Those with IR slots increased them due to Covid last year, for obvious reasons.
Dropping players/cap amount:
Allowing players to be dropped and not count against the cap is pretty normal. I'd recommend this if it's a league going to cap system, as you likely have rosters that will be over a cap. Make sure to not make the cap too tight right now, and you'll want to see what everyone's cap looks like given their current rosters.
