Display Mode for Salary Draft
Hi,
The league I am a part of thought that it would be really nice for the display mode (I believe is what it was called) for a salary draft to show which player is currently nominated and what the current bid is.
Thanks!

Prevent managers from drafting poorly on purpose in public leagues.
You can either allow to draft a limited number on certain positions (2 QBs on roster). Not allow players who are ineligble to play to be drafted until either the starting roster has been filled.

Defensive players
I really like the choice to use defensive players. I think real fans want to use Arnold and Garret for example.
Thank you for your feedback regarding using defensive players in fantasy football leagues. While defensive players are not available in public leagues, we will pass your feedback along to our team! They can be used in private leagues, however.

Your fantasy football draft lobby is full of bugs
I play in a keeper league with an IDP. For most of the entire draft the last player picked was incorrect as it was set to a keeper pick from the 17th round. At the top center where it tells me "You're up in X picks" fails to keep in mind that I may be autopicking due to a keeper pick. All of the rankings are completely hosed if you have IDPs. By the 34d round of our draft, it was recommending IDPs. The nice feature showing the line of where your pick will fall in the XRank filter was…

Allow for drafting to happen on computer
I logged into the live draft on my computer 30 minutes before the draft. When we went live, there was no generated player list to select players from, meaning I had to switch to my phone after being auto-picked in Round 1. AWFUL YAHOO!! Do better!! This was complete horsecrap!
Hello Justin,
The option to draft from a desktop/laptop computer on a supported browser (Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) is available. We recommend testing your system with our draft client by conducting a mock draft.
If issues do arise, you can contact us through the Sports tab at help.yahoo.com.

I was put into a league I didn't sign up for
I got an email that I had a public team drafted and I didn't sign up for it. It's league Yahoo H2H-Pts 1580184 (ID# 1580184). My team name is Red Zone Dave. I tried to send an email to customer support, but when I hit the submit button, nothing happened. Please help me get out of this league.
Hi Dave,
The league that you are in 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 room opens, it's not possible for you or Yahoo to remove or transfer your team from the league.
I 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. In the Yahoo Fantasy app, you can either hide your league from the home screen or customize league notifications using the steps below:
Hide your teams:
- Tap the Profile icon at the top left.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Customize menu.
- Tap Hide next to any league you want to remove from the home screen.
Customize notifications:
- Tap the Profile icon at the top left.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Push Notification…

Revamp Your Drafting Grading System
Your draft ranking of teams after a league drafts, as usual, does not make sense. I picked 15 players and the lowest grade your system gave of those players was a C. In fact, if you average the rankings, I had a high B - low B plus. I got a F.
The year before, I used your auto-draft and I got a D.
Your system is a laughing stock.

Changes to the new Yahoo! Fantasy Draft UI
Hello. I have a couple suggestions for the new draft tool web browser UI, that were better with the old draft UI. First off, the queue star and player draft button should NOT be in the same place, as multiple times I have been attempting to queue a player, and then it becomes my turn to draft and I select the player I'm queueing, but that was not the player I meant to draft. Second, when it is a players turn to draft, the entire header should change colour, not just the font around the timer. Lastly, the drafted players…

Feature Request: Add Draft Board Tab
Feature Request: Add Draft Board Tab
Please add the visual draft board (the grid showing all picks by team and round) as a permanent, prominent tab in the Draft section.
Right now, the only way to review the draft is scrolling through the pick-by-pick list or viewing team-by-team rosters. The tiled draft board that briefly appears after the draft ends is far more useful. It lets you see every team's picks at a glance in one graphic.
This should be a standalone tab alongside the existing draft views, not buried or hidden. It's likely to become the most-referenced view for…

Option to set Pick-by-Pick (Position-Based) Draft Strategy
Please consider providing an option to set a position-based pick-by-pick draft strategy. I really don't want to have to rank hundreds of individual players to accomplish the same thing. For example, I'd like to set an option to draft a RB in the first 2 rounds, a WR in Round 3, and so on.
ESPN Fantasy Football has this functionality, as detailed at https://support.espn.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000137872-Editing-Autopick-Draft-Strategy.

What have you done with the draft app
Yahoo has been superior to ESPN for 15+ years until now. I have been telling everyone we need to move and then you come out with this ****** draft interface and make me look like an idiot. It seems like you wanted to make it minimalist or something but is SUCKS. The ticker on the top now just shows the user and nothing else. No more running list of the picks that have been made. All of these projected stats, who cares! Go back 5 years and it will be a major improvement

Show draft board after draft was completed
Once a draft is completed there is no way to see the entire draft board. You only have the option to see the draft results round by round. Every other fantasy site allows you to see the draft board throughout the season. It is very helpful to view all the teams at once on a board than scrolling through the round by round results. Please add this feature. Otherwise I am more likely to use your competitor's sites for my leagues.

ummm....provide super flex ADP/rankings
We have a super flex league set up through Yahoo, we do an offline draft every year, in preparing for our draft we found it extremely frustrating and annoying that Yahool doesn't not offer anywhere on their sites the ADP/rankings for superflex leagues? We ended up using the Sleeper ADP as our list to pull from on our offline draft sheet we use. Also the draft grades are ridiculous! We are in a super flex league and the grades are given based on a standard 1QB format. Every year, we inch closer to moving to Sleeper. What ever league format…

Ultra membership
I'm a paid Yahoo Fantasy subscriber and have been using the new Instant Mock Draft feature. I like the concept, but there's a major limitation that makes it substantially less useful for serious draft preparation.
Instant Mock Draft does not appear to allow me to use my custom Yahoo Pre-Draft Player Rankings. Traditional Yahoo drafts and mock drafts support custom pre-draft rankings, and I've spent significant time building rankings specifically for my leagues and their scoring systems.
The Instant Mock Draft instead forces me to draft from Yahoo's rankings. This makes it difficult to test my actual draft strategy and…

To be able to move the players up or down on the predraft ranking - instead of just loading up the top of the draft with stared players
If I wanted to Move a TE up in the rankings to be drafted (ranked) from number 219 to number 118 on my list then all of the other players ahead of him would still go as ranked until on my ranking list the next best player to be drafted was now my TE at number 118

Multiple divisions to create the option for their own draft
I am running a draft at work, where we have a large amount of people who want to play. I thought by doing this, each Conference/Division would have its own draft. Having a 16 team, 1 draft is very difficult to manage. Could this be an option added? By doing this, there would be game(s) played that managers could be playing against their own player.

Don't run the clock for auto-drafters
If someone has opted into auto-draft, instead of running the full clock for that person, their player draft should occur immediately to avoid slowing down the draft for everyone else. Given players have the opportunity to preset their draft rankings, that is opportunity enough to order your players as needed if you are not going to join live. At the very least, the commissioner should be able to implement this as a setting.

Return edit pre draft rankings to the previous version. This one sucks out loud.
Why do people fix things that aren't broken. Someone explain how this is better.
Thank you for your feedback regarding editing your pre-draft rankings. We will pass it along to our team. On the Edit Pre-Draft Rankings screen, click on the star symbol all the way to the right to move players to your preferred players. You can also click on "Select" in order to move multiple players at once. Then, click on the "My Preferred" tab at the top. You can hold down the three bars to the left of the players in order to drag and reorder them.
