    Allow a player to delete auto draft. Your system will draft until all starter positions are filled. It does not allow to draft a bench player until you have a Def and K.

    Can we get more options for pre-draft rankings? They default to league scoring but that basically means top scoring and therefore almost 100% QBs in the top 15. Would be great if there was an option to rank by ADP or Xpert rankings...

    Add a search bar to the pre-draft rankings. I run a dynasty league where rookies are prominent during the draft they are very hard to find.

    Currently, the only way to upload keepers is a ridiculous drag and drop option which leads to many issues. My league allows offseason trading (another thing Yahoo should allow but for another day) and often times draft picks are traded in the offseason. This means I have to go to the draft order and manually move around the new draft picks. Yahoo needs to create a .csv template that you can upload with player names and will automatically complete your keepers for you. The current manual process just takes too long. CSV uploads is already used by the Yahoo Gemini team for uploading search campaigns.

    You should be happy. You have just two complaints against Yahoo's fantasy football game.
    Many of us have several complaints.

    YES, the Yahoo so-called "OVER-ALL Rankings" List the QB's as Top Over-All Players ?? If someone does not attend Live Draft and does not "Pre-Rank" his Players and gets the 1st Draft Pick he will get QB Rodgers? QB Rodgers in ALL FANTASY OVERALL RANKINGS is going in the 50-54 pick range (5th Round!) YET YAHOO has him Ranked Overall as Number ONE ??? Then QB Brady 2? QB Watson 3 and so-on ???????

    SAMETHING HAPPENED LAST YEAR and their were COMPLAINTS yet YAHOO has done NOTHING to CORRECT their OVER-ALL Rankings ??? ALSO their USE to BE a "FEEDBACK" icon on the Front League Page which could be EASILY FOUND...….now you have to go looking for it ???

    Looking over these COMMENTS on the horrible "Over-All Rankings" which could indeed mess up the DRAFTS because Teams on "Auto-Draft" will snap up ALL the Top QB's in EARLY ROUNDS and force other Teams to Draft a QB WAY TOO EARLY when the Fantasy Football Experts are telling everyone to Draft QB's in Double-Digit Rounds. COME ON YAHOO......GET YOUR ACT TOGHETHER or YOUR OVER-ALL Fantasy Football Site Ranking will be DROPPING TOO !!

    This is true!!!! Yahoo sucks for this reason!!!!! Our league was ruined so to this ore draft mode ****!

  • Duncan Gardiner commented  ·   ·  Report

    It would be great to be able to sort through the player list data based on a pulldown option of "pre-draft rankings". That way you can look at your rankings based on position at a point other than in a mock draft or real draft. Would help you set your tiers internally

    Yes! There is an export option, let us import too! Then you don't have to spend time updating the interface :-D

    Just allow us to upload predraft rankings from a csv file. Please!

    Two issues I faced regarding "Pre-Draft" settings:

    1ST ISSUE:
    1) 10 minutes before the draft time for one of my league, I realized that the time needed to be pushed by 30 minutes (I am the commissioner). Yahoo's pre-draft settings would not let me do this. The commissioner can only change the draft time UP TO one hour before the draft time begins. As per Yahoo, this is because that is when the draft room is created. This is ridiculous. You should be able to change the draft time ANYTIME before the draft begins, even if it's one second before start time, to accommodate team managers.

    2nd ISSUE:
    I communicated a specific draft order to my league. When we all entered the draft room, Yahoo changed that draft order, which as you can imagine GREATLY upset the entire group including myself. Because of Yahoo's "Pre-Draft" settings, I can only change Draft Order up to 1 hour before the actual draft time. Again, really stupid system limitation that does not keep Yahoo customer's needs in mind.

    SUGGESTION: "PRE-DRAFT" means just that: ANYTIME before the draft. Yahoo, you need to fix this. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has found a need to change the draft time or draft order within 1 hour of original draft time. You have millions of customers who play Yahoo Fantasy Sports - make sensible system enhancements with the benefit of the customer in mind.

    It is very tedious to update my rankings based on my spreadsheet. Please for the love of god let me import via CSV!

  • Chuck Yates commented  ·   ·  Report

    Have this exact problem (first 20 QBs), see post above is from 2017....will this be fixed soon?

  • Brian Hoeger commented  ·   ·  Report

    The Yahoo pre-draft rankings are horrible and create the potential to really mess up a draft. It takes at least an hour to fix the QB issue alone. With thousands of leagues out there Yahoo is wasting millions of hours of our time. Furthermore, some managers don't take the time to fix it, and if they have to rely on the auto-pick even for a few rounds during the online draft, they end up with a ****** team. And when they end up with 3 top QBs it messes up everyone's team potentially wrecking the entire season. The bad pre-rankings were there last year also and it wreaked havoc in my league. Get it together Yahoo!

  • Gabe Samrock commented  ·   ·  Report

    Allow users a long list of preferences for auto-draft. For example, when setting my custom pre-draft rankings, let me say that I don’t want a certain player or position to be drafted before a certain round. NFL.com offers this.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The rankings are horrible. I autodrafted and had a kicker in early rounds and defensive players in rounds 5,6. Unless the free agents I picked up play way better than expected I'm in for a last place finish.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The default draft rankings for previous years were ok. Why has this changed to a ridiculous quarterback first list... and why hasn't yahoo fixed it yet? Rankings on the Players tab are correct.

  • Joe Stats commented  ·   ·  Report

    What is worse is that is that changing the rankings is cumbersome as all ****.

  • Jeff Miller commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is there a correction to this issue, or is this the way it is going forward? This sucks!

  • Eric Bernacki commented  ·   ·  Report

    We definitely had this problem in our league as well. The only way it seemed to be accurate is if you were on the desktop site viewing the player list from 2016 that for some reason had 2017 projected and 2016 actual rankings.
