Depending on how your league is set up, you likely will have a spot or two in the IR. If your player is listed as day-to-day, you shouldn’t use the IR spot unless it means increasing your chance to win the week. However, in most cases, GMs typically wait out the injury as it only lasts a few days.
If your player is listed in the IR section of this list, you should place them on the IR and pick up another player that’s on the free agent list. When you get the Doughty or Kane, their injuries will keep them out for the bulk of the season, which could result in the GMs releasing them and looking for an alternative option.
