Do not remove the Today's Game column
On 11/20/2024, the column of today's game (or whatever it was called) is gone. If the player has game it shows under player's name. What's left are the not important Ranking and Fantasy columns. It is much more difficult to see if a player has the game with the new format.
The Ranking column doesn't even work (the current ranking is just a -). The Fantasy column is useless (%Start %ROS), these info doesn't matter anymore because players is already on your team.
Please don't implement changes to make your product worse. Easily to see if a player has game…
Thanks for your feedback, I will pass that on to our product team. This information can now be found underneath the player's name.

don't auto add people to random leagues they didn't want to join
It's scummy and ridiculous to add someone to a fantasy basketball league they didn't ask to join. And then not even allow me to delete my team from this random league. Absolutely absurd. I"ve been on yahoo for 20 years for fantasy and will be moving to espn next year because of this.
The league that you signed up for is referred to as an "Instant Draft." This means that you're automatically placed in a Public league once you enter the draft lobby. Once the draft is over, it's not possible for you or Yahoo to remove or transfer your team from the league. It sounds like you accidentally joined this league without realizing. Yahoo will not place you into a league without you doing it. You may have clicked on a banner at the bottom of the app that will show that says "Draft Now".
We apologize that we can't be of more assistance, but do know that you're not obligated to visit the team pages for the entirety of the season. You can disable email notifications (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/edit-yahoo-fantasy-team-yahoo-account-info-sln6128.html) for your team if you'd like.

Provide the commissioner with an ability to block certain players from being drafted or picked up once the season starts
Our basketball league has chosen to only contain players outside of the top 30. I.e., we want to eliminate the top 30 players from our league. My research indicates there is no ability for the commissioner to remove those players from our league so after the league starts, if a manager wants to pick up a player they so those 30 players along with every other player. It makes it very difficult to manually manage that.
I understand we maybe could have set up a dummy set of teams to put those players on but then I don’t know if…
Thank you for your feedback regarding providing commissioners with an ability to block certain players from being drafted or added. There is no setting that allows you to do this, but we appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team!

Stop automatically entering me in high score fantasy basketball leagues through pop up advertisments
Its incredibly annoying and scummy that the button to close the add is right next to a button which just automatically enters you into a draft that you cant leave. This takes up one of my available leagues for something i don't care about and never wanted to enter.

Stop creating unsolicited teams for us.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, delete these unsolicited teams that keep popping up. I don’t want them and won’t participate. I can’t delete them because they are already drafted before I get notification that they even exist. Stop this !!!!! PLEASE !!!!! Even an enjoyable interest like fantasy teams are ruined by unscrupulous spammers. It’s unconscionable.
Please delete them.

get players that are ruled out as injured for at least a week INJ designation immediately
Sabonis has been out for 6 days and already missed one game, and he has been ruled out for a minimum of 6 more days and 2 more games. Why would you wait to give him INJ designation? These are things that need to improve.
Thank you for reaching out regarding injury designations in fantasy basketball. The INJ designation is for players who are projected to miss or have already missed 7+ days or 3 games due to injury or personal reasons, whichever occurs first. If a player is injured mid-game, the day or game in which the injury occurs counts as the first day or game of the injury period. This only starts to go into effect once the season starts. Pre-season games do not count.

Fantasy Basketball APP version error
Fantasy Basketball APP version error: The APP version does not function properly. When you move a player to IL spot it still does not truly take effect. a new player can't be added unless you drop somebody. Only the Computer version is fully functional in that regard. Please fix the APP problem with moving players to IL.
If you are using an Android device, the app defaults to the first day of scoring for the league. So when you put a player onto the IL/IL+ but are still being told you need to drop someone, you will need to change to the current date in order to move the player to the IL/IL+ so you aren't trying to edit a future roster.

I am furious - I want teams deleted
Yahoo has now 'auto-generated' multiple fantasy teams for me, and I want them DELETED. The instructions to delete are simply not true - the instructions refer to menu options which do not exist.

BRING BACK WEEKLY LINEUPS
If you don't allow my league to set weekly lineups for free any more, we'll just move to a different platform. Have used you guys for nearly 15 years, this is unbelievably stupid.

STOP deceptively having people sign up for fantasy
On the Yahoo Fantasy front page, there is a big button that says "Draft Now" and the moment you click it and the league fills, you're locked into participating in a season-long public fantasy league. You cannot opt out once the draft begins (which begins immediately after you click if you were the final person to join). There is no confirmation pop-up confirming what you're signing up for. If your toddler walks by and clicks this button, you're locked in. Call it a day. It was very difficult to reach customer service for concerns as well, so good luck trying…

draft room open mock time
Giving 3 minutes after the draft room is open for mocks is doing the exact opposite of what your thought process is. People are leaving and forgetting to comeback because it's such a long wait. It's terrible. Please change it to 1minute max. 30 seconds would be ideal do people exactly dont get bored and leave. To be clear im not taking for picks im referring to when th draft room opens for mock drafts

THIS IS ABSURD, JUST PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS. I'VE MADE SEVERAL COMMENTS ON THIS AND SO FAR THE ONLY RESPONSE I'VE SEEN FROM YAHOO IS "WE'RE WORKING ON IT". YOU CAN'T CLEARLY SEE IF YOUR PLAYERS HAVE GAMES OR NOT. PLEASE FIX THIS NOW. ITS BEEN OVER A MONTH NOW.
Hey Caillie,
The opponent column should be available again on the website.

Player Page
On the player pages, please change the FGA, FGM, FTA, and FTM back to its original order. It doesn't make sense to read FGM after FGA. Logically, it should show FGA after FGM. All other platforms show it in this order. Please consider the change to revert back to the original display format.

Please add an option where we can filter which specific level of managers can join our league.
Please add a filter or an option where we can set a filter in the settings which specific managers we want to join our leagues (diamonds,platinum, gold etc.)
We as managers find it hard and requires alot of manual labor/work to keep kicking/deleting members/players we dont desire in our league. the user level/rank filter that filter members who can join would be so much helpful if we have that options to select from. We can select when we create a league we can put only diamond level can join our league. It will make our lives as commissioners very easy.…

Add SG/SF and PF/C Flex Position Option for Custom Leagues
Please allow custom leagues the option to use SG/SF (wing) and PF/C (big) as roster requirements. I see you added "frontcourt (FC)" this year, which is a step in the right direction, but is still too broad like the Util position and is not what we asked for. Are you just trying to mess with us now because we've been asking for flex positions for the last 8 years? Please add Wing (SG/SF) and Big (PF/C) as roster options in custom leagues. Trying to get this feature has taken years of my life.
Thanks for your suggestion. I will share that with our product team.
