Ditch the new page format
Your new page is an absolute disaster. Links don’t work. Ads crowd the page. I’ve been on Yahoo for over a decade. This might be my last year if trash programming like this continues. Throw the changes away and reinstate the prior program.
Thank you for your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team. If you are having issues with certain links not working, please contact us under the sports section at help.yahoo.com so we can look into this further.

Vickrey auction for waivers
Would love to see a Vickrey auction mechanism for waivers. The current waiver process would be modified such that, instead of deducting the highest $ bid amount, the amount deducted would be the second-highest bid +$1. For example, if I bid $3 for a free agent but the rest of my league doesn't bid, or they all bid $0, then I receive the player for $1. Another example: If I bid $70 for Zach Wilson (in my superflex league, when Aaron Rodgers snaps his achilles), and the next highest bid is $40, then I receive Wilson for $41. The academic…

Dark mode for desktop
The newest redesign is an assault on on the eyes - besides it being ugly, it's too bright. We need a dark mode ASAP. The desktop site is borderline unusable without it
Thank you for your feedback. We'll pass it along to our team. Our team is looking into implementing dark mode for desktop in the future.

Live Auction Waivers
Apply the live auction draft format to waivers. Make all waiver bids transparent in real time to all league participants, apply a commissioner defined cutoff time (i.e Tuesday, 10pm). Highest bid acquires the player.
Any league member can "nominate" a player for whatever $ amount they'd like, anything $1 or over hits the waiver auction board so the entire league can see it and bid.

BROOOOOO! He's OUT!
I have had this same issue year after year, and I don't understand what the challenge is. Right now, Deontae Johnson is still designated as "D" (Doubtful) despite multiple reports that he is not going to play for, likely, an entire month! Why is he not listed as "O" (Out) already if he clearly isn't going to play. This is preventing me from moving him into an IR slot and picking up an upside player without dropping someone on my bench. It is infuriating to say the least, especially seeing all the players that cleared waivers and were picked up…
Hello Flavio,
Thanks for reaching out.
If a player is not on the official IR, their injury designation will reset at the start of each game week. Reports that the player will miss time does not change their injury designation. The team will have to officially rule the player out for the game week so our data provider will update their designation and then update in our game.
Teams do not have to officially rule out a player until at least an hour and a half before their game time, but this can occur sooner.
Thanks,

Players that are listed OUT right before the game
I really wish Yahoo had feature that like auto swapped in a guy from bench for guy that’s OUT. There have been many times over the years where a guy is listed OUT a few minutes before the game and I am stuck with a 0 for him.

Week two (2) against, Philadelphia vs. Minnesota, the Eagles recovered 4 turnovers
In week two (2) against, Philadelphia vs. Minnesota, the Eagles defense recovered 4 turnovers, Fantasy App only awarding 3 turnovers, why?
We have the Eagles D/ST with 3 fumble recoveries. This matches the NFL's official stats. One of the other fumbles was an own-recovery when the Eagles fumbled a punt return but then recovered it themselves, so that won't count as a recovery for the D/ST. The Justin Jefferson fumble out of bounds does not count as a recovery for the Eagles D/ST because it technically wasn't ever recovered and just resulted in a touchback. You can see on page 3 of their game book that the NFL credited Philadelphia's defense with 3 fumble recoveries from their opponent. We do not make scoring determinations. We follow what the NFL has.

Why did you remove the ability to see all FAAB bids after transactions?
This has been a feature for as long as I've been using FAAB, and now it's not on there. Why did you remove it?
Hello Terry,
Thanks for reaching out.
On the desktop site, you can view the FAB Offers in the transaction log to see which players had multiple offers placed. If only 1 manager put in an offer on a player, that will be the listed transaction in the log.
On the app, you will be able to see the offers by other teams in the chat log.
Thanks,

The new format is Garbage. What the actual **** Yahoo?
All teams from every team I've ever played in the last few years all mixed together and all teams from all sports mixed together on the same list. This site has gone to ****.

Change the fantasy football website UI
This new website design is giving me instant eyestrain. It looks like UI from the late 90s/early 00s. It's also just much harder to find things. Please change it!

Complete redesign of Fantasy pages and make more useful options
Yahoo Fantasy sports has taken a huge setback over the years in trying to keep up, they've made most of their selections based on users that aren't real players.
Examples:
You should have the option to turn off playoff Consolation brackets, just another participation trophy that no one cares about.
You've added Paid enhancements that could be good but take up valuable space when not paying for them making it hard to use all together
You deleted message boards and opted for chat when fantasy leagues could post voting/etc. ideas on boards that are not urgent chat items.
You've made…Thanks for your feedback. We'll pass this along to our team.

New look of the website is awful. It has so much whitespace without any definition. It strains my eyes b/c there are no boundaries or lines.
Please give us the option to change the view on the website or roll it back to the old view. I'm in a brightly lit room and the new site still hurts my eyes. So much whitespace, especially on a widescreen monitor.

what happened to the old fantasy format where you clicked on the FANTASY tab and all your teams listed in order. ... now they just skewed
what happpened to the old format of yahoo fantasy. before you could click on the fantasy tab and your teams and leagues would be in a nice neat order. Now the format has changed. The page is all white and the teams and leagues are a holy mess. You can't even click on it to open it up. You have to open up each league individually, if you can find them mixed with every other team you have for all sports you play fantasy in. If this is the yahoo.. i'll be going elsewhere. You went from looking professional and…

dark mode
For the love of all things righteous. Please save our eyes and bring dark mode back to pc. You guys had it last year. It shouldn't be that hard to do, and people shouldn't need to wait for this either.
Thanks for your feedback. This is something that's on our radar and we hope to add it in the future.

Don’t make unnecessary changes
The old saying is “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”
Why did you have to play around with the format of the Fantasy Sports section?!
The drop-down box used before worked great. You’re looking at one of your baseball teams and you want to move to a football league, you just hit the drop-down arrow and pick the league.
Now I have to click on Fantasy to take me back to a page with all of my leagues to sift through. Similar to just going to another baseball league where I have to click on Fantasy Baseball to the…
