bye week
Team's forced vacation
A bye week is a scheduled week off during a sports season when a team doesn't play.
Most common in American football, where NFL teams each have one bye week per season: Our fantasy lineup is weak because two starters are on bye.
The term comes from tournament brackets, where a bye advances a competitor without playing.
