Allowing leagues to adjust pickup start time
Hi! I’ve been using yahoo for a long time and really love your app! Very easy to use as commissioner!
One thing that would really help and other apps are starting to do this, is to allow leagues to set their own time for when players can be picked up that day.
Starting pickups at 3am is very difficult for most of my league, and if there was an option to start it at 8am for example that would cause a lot less arguments with my wife for setting an alarm at 2:58 am to pickup a player.
Thank you…Thank you for your feedback! Your thoughts and suggestions are extremely valuable to us which is why we've passed your comments along to our product and engineering teams. We're committed to continuously improving your fantasy experience and appreciate your continued support.

Please do not get rid of the IL+ option.
Managing injuries and load management in fantasy basketball will be a nightmare without the IL+ option. Please continue to make it available to commissioners to utilize. If you take it away I may quit my league in yahoo after this season. I have been running my league for 25 years. Thank you
We've updated Fantasy Basketball to use official NBA player designations for IL eligibility. As a result, only players designated Out or Out for Season are IL eligible, and IL+ is no longer supported.
This change creates a clear, consistent standard based on official NBA statuses and puts more roster decisions back in the hands of managers. When a player is Questionable, Doubtful, or Probable, managers will need to decide whether to start them, bench them, or make a roster move.

Please update Injury status as soon as possible. (Basketball Fantasy)
Hello, I have known that IL+ slot will be inactivated from this season.
As a result, we can only move the player who is designated as "INJ" status to IL slot. But, currently, injured players is still marked to "Out".
Therefore, in a league where the draft has been completed, players cannot be properly moved to the IL slot.- Henri Veesaar, Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody, Donte DiVincenzo, Ariel Hukporti, Mark Williams, Shaedon Sharpe, Jayden Quaintance, Jusuf Nurkic, Jamir Watkins and etc.
Please update Injury status as soon as possible from now on. Also, it should be updated promptly during this…
Hello,
Injury designations are controlled by our data provider. They will update statuses closer to the start of the season based on the official NBA player designations. Players designated Out or Out for Season are IL-eligible.
Thanks,

Kristaps Porzingis Q tag!
Kristaps Porziņģis is currently listed as Questionable (Q) in Yahoo Fantasy Basketball, but the Golden State Warriors officially announced that he is OUT INDEFINITELY due to a health issue. This has also been repeatedly confirmed by Warriors personnel and beat reporters, with no timetable for his return.
Please update his Yahoo Fantasy designation from Questionable (Q) to Out (O) so that he is eligible for the IL slot.
Hi Daniel,
We've updated Fantasy Basketball to use official NBA player designations for IL eligibility.
As the season gets closer and teams have made official moves to rule players out, our data provider will update the designation to reflect in our game.
Thanks,

best optimal lineup
Our fantasy basketball league plays weekly head-to-head matchups with daily lineups and a limit of two player pickups per week.
We want an optional feature that automatically sets the best projected daily lineup using only players already on each team’s roster. It should start players with scheduled games, respect position eligibility and game locks, and recheck injury/rest status before tipoff to replace unavailable starters with eligible bench players.
Managers would still control pickups, drops, trades, and IR moves. We want to reduce daily lineup maintenance while keeping our existing scoring format.
Does your platform currently support this? If so, how…
Hi Lebron,
Start Active Players, or Assistant GM if you have Yahoo Fantasy Plus, allows you to quickly fill your starting lineup on individual days or for the entire week. You can also choose to use either tool to automatically set your lineup in a single league, or all eligible leagues for that sport. After using either function, we recommend reviewing your lineups to be sure your players are in their desired positions. Please note that Start Active Players and Assistant GM are not available in leagues that use a Weekly roster transaction deadline.
Start Active Players
Enabling Start Active Players, or Assistant GM with Yahoo Fantasy Plus, will move players from your bench to your starting lineup. But, it will only replace players under certain conditions:
- Bench player has a scheduled game and starting player doesn’t.
- Bench player is eligible to play at the position of a starting…

Nba fantasy last update
We've been playing this game as a group of 18 for 8 years, and the version shown in the attached screenshot was much more user-friendly.
Every single one of us feels that with the latest update, the area showing player stats has gotten smaller, while player photos and name font sizes have gotten bigger.
Please give us a way to use previous versions as an in-app theme. We'd gladly pay for it, and I know 50 people who would too. Please consider this and help us enjoy the game even more.

Mock Drafts - Auction Drafts - People Leaving Draft - Nomination Time
For mock Auction drafts, this related to situations when an actual person leaves the draft. If the person's next turn goes through (i.e. uses up) the entire nomination and bid time, they should be set to auto draft AND their nomination time should be set to instant (i.e. zero seconds) or 5 seconds max (instead of going through the entire nomination countdown for some who has permanently left the draft).
This is assuming they do not return to the draft (hence, the waiting for that person's next turn to go through the one entire cycle). This would help to speed…

Waiver Wire
Waiver wire ranking doesn't make sense. Pre-season a team that has already had 3 pickups, yet they are is #3. They are tied with one other team for the most pickups in the league. Why aren't they ranked 11 or 12?
Hello,
Waiver priority ranks will only change when a team makes a successful waiver add. The rank does not change if a team adds a player as a free agent.

BRING BACK IL+ Roster spots for fantasy basketball
Please bring back IL+ roster spots, at least as an optional commissioner setting for private leagues. Last season IL+ was essential for our 12-team league. With real injuries plus NBA load management (players sitting with soreness and rest days), the flexible IL+ spot kept roster management fair. Now only Out / Out-for-Season players are IL-eligible, so managers must burn bench spots or drop day-to-day players. Removing IL+ punishes everyone and makes the game less fun.

Il+
Subject: Restore IL+ in Yahoo Fantasy Basketball
I am writing to strongly object to Yahoo’s decision to remove the IL+ designation from Fantasy Basketball.
IL+ served an important purpose in fantasy basketball: it allowed managers to manage the uncertainty surrounding NBA injuries, rest, and late game-time decisions without being forced to drop a player simply because his status had not yet officially changed to “Out.”
The problem with the current system is that NBA injury designations frequently remain GTD, Questionable, or Probable until shortly before tipoff. A player can be listed as GTD all day, ultimately be ruled out, and…We've updated Fantasy Basketball to use official NBA player designations for IL eligibility.

Please change the layout of the table on the player list page
On the player page, it's super inconvenient to have to scroll down to the horizontal scroll bar and use it to view hidden categories. The names are not frozen so i dont even know whose stats im looking at. The web page has plenty of room to display all the categories. Thanks!

Allow Custom Leagues to Use SG/SF and PF/C Flex Positions as Roster Options
Please allow custom leagues to use SG/SF and PF/C Flex Positions as roster options if they want to. Specifically these exact flex positions. This is the 9th year in a row I have asked for this feature that every other fantasy platform provides. Please honor your loyal customers by implementing this option for commissioners of custom leagues.

If you're going to make changes that affect every team, at least announce them and explain how they work.
Removing IL+ without explaining it will lose you a lot of customers. Communication is important and explaining the changes doesn't take much.

Starting playoffs 2 weeks earlier
I’d like to submit a formal suggestion regarding the default playoff schedule for Yahoo Fantasy Basketball paid public leagues.
I strongly recommend moving the default fantasy basketball playoffs approximately two weeks earlier in the NBA season.
The current schedule places the fantasy playoffs very late in the NBA regular season, when player availability becomes increasingly unpredictable.
During the final weeks of the NBA regular season, fantasy managers frequently have to deal with factors such as:
- Players receiving rest days
- Teams managing workloads and minutes
- Stars being held out of games
- Injuries and precautionary absences
- Teams changing rotations
- Young players receiving…
