I thought about that. It really doesn't matter how valuable the player is that you use the IR-DR on. It is 100% about maximizing # of roster spots. All that matters is that the player deserves a roster spot, and Q meets that threshold. If Clay Matthews gets hurt, there is no particular advantage to IR-DR rather than having him on inactive list.

The valid reason to not IR-DR Q is that he may only be out for 4 weeks. You really want to get the full 8-week roster bonus out of deal. Parking a healthy guy on IR-DR is a waste.

I like the IR-DR for Q because he is not a premium player. 8 weeks of a replacement guy might be OK.
