Draft
The 2 drafts I did where not done by me. The app kept loading.and saying something about player data and I couldn't enter the draft. I feel cheated because both my teams are not very goid.
Hey Mike,
We are sorry to hear you were experiencing issues with your drafts.
In the event that you do encounter an issue, attempt some troubleshooting, such as completely closing out of the app and then reopening it, checking for any updates to the app as we do recommend using the latest version, and checking if the issue is happening on the website.
If you do still have an issue after that, you can contact us for assistance through the sports tab at help.yahoo.com.

Auction draft issues
The first issue is that the current player cannot be bid on from every page in the draft room. In other words, if I’m looking at a player’s page, my roster, the results list, or the board, I can’t see or bid on the current player. I have to navigate back to the player list tab and bid. In the previous version, the current player and ability to bid were available while viewing all draft room tabs.
The second issue is that there’s no countdown bell/ding beginning at the final 3 seconds when bidding on a player. The old version…

PLEASE BRING BACK THE STAR IN THE PLAYERS LIST OF DRAFT ROOM
When you are in the new/current Draftroom via browser (Chrome for me), you can star players to add to queue.
This is just like before/prior draftrooms.BUT NOW, when it is your turn to draft, the STAR DISAPPEARS FROM ALL YOUR Starred players.
Yes, obviously you can go to your queue.
BUT you cannot scan and scroll thru the list or resort by ADP, expert rating, points, etc... and see your starred players.
This is a massive LOSS of context and visibility with only seconds on the line.
Thank you for adding this back in.

Horrible Football Draft Format
Leave it to Yahoo to completely **** up the draft formatting. I'm glad I tried a mock draft...to see just how horrible things were. Drafting without being able to see the draft action...that's cute. Having players in your queue...but not able to draft them if you click on them in the queue.
It's fine...after playing here for more tahn 20 years...I'm finished with the whole Yahoo experience...it's always so negative...and it keeps getting worse by the year.

draft auction room
please make it so the teams with draft spots left and salary dollars left go vertical instead of horizontal so we can see on one screen and not have to scroll
please keep active bid amounts with timer next to each other rather than opposite ends of screen

Turn Off Auto-Scroll for Draft Board
When viewing "Board" in a fantasy snake draft, the horizontal scroll bar automatically moves to the left after every pick. This makes watching the draft from the Board view difficult when teams 9+ are drafting (as they are now off-screen without manually scrolling back).
It would be much better if the horizontal bar only moved by manual user clicks so I can watch the draft picks live on that screen.

Try using the pick list that we choose
This is the third Yahoo Mock Draft that I participated in, Autodraft. This is the third time that the backup QB chosen for me was not the next in line on my list. The third time that a lower ranked QB was selected when the QB that was rated higher ON MY LIST was skipped over.
I have already contacted you twice before. I waited 2 weeks to run another mock draft, and I have the same results. How can I be assured that the autodraft for our leagues will follow the rankings list that made and not default to…
Hi Dennis,
If you manage multiple teams in different leagues, pre-rank once and export your settings from one of your teams to another.
- Go to your team's page that you've already pre-ranked.
- Mouse over Draft | select Pre-Draft Rankings or Pre-Draft Values.
- Select the team you want to export your settings to.
- Click Export Rankings or Export Values.
When practicing in mock drafts, check that you are selecting your list to use for the mock draft.
Details on how autopick selects players
- All starter positions are filled before bench positions.
- You can't designate which round a player is picked or a position is filled.
- Each round, autopick drafts the highest-ranked (pre-rank, then default rank) available player based on your position needs. The system determines a max number of players to positions ratio, including bench, so that your roster positions are balanced.
If you are still seeing an issue…

Drafting App/format
I just did some mock drafts and I would like to provide some feedback. First, 30 second to pick is not enough time. A full 60 seconds is way better. Second, the list that provides player names and stats is too small because you have to scroll across to see all of the stats. It should all fit on the screen without needing to scroll across to reduce drafting times. All other changes are great. Also don't make text too small.

Pre-Draft Rankings not being followed
2nd Yahoo Mock Draft, and a second time that my pre-draft rankings were ignored when it came to a backup QB. I had Jordan Love ranked much higher than Jared Goff, and Jordan Love was still available, yet I got Jared Goff.
If the Yahoo Mock Draft works this way, then I can expect that the official Yahoo Autodraft work the same way. This makes me very unhappy.
Thank you for reaching out regarding your pre-draft rankings not being followed. We'll get this over to our engineering team so they can investigate this further.

Follow our Pre-Rankings list in all categories
I entered a Yahoo Mock Draft. I selected Autodraft Mode. I selected My Pre-Rankings. The draft proceeded normally, but when the time came for picking my backup QB, my Pre-Ranking of Jordan Love was skipped over and Bo Nix (whom I had ranked lower) was selected. This seems like an obvious error within the Yahoo Mock Draft program. Pre-Rankings should always be followed first.

When pre-ranking on the Player list, when you click "Load More Players" the focus should remain at the bottom of the list.
Have the focus remain at the bottom of the list so that you can begin scrolling at the end point. You shouldn't have to start back at the top of the list and manually scroll back to the last position before you selected "Load More Players"

The new draft interface was a disaster last night
League 92831 drafted last night, and we were subjected to a brand-new draft interface that was entirely dysfunctional.
The timer was consistently off, didn't reset, or simply stopped working multiple times, leaving us completely in the dark as to when the bidding was about to end.
The new layout prevented us from seeing current bids and budgets of all teams on one page, which prevented us from bidding based on the budgets of other managers.
On three occasions, I was unable to place a bid on a player because the bid button was grayed out and unselectable, even though the…

Please go back to previous version of draft board. pale colors are hard to see
Definitely don't like the new draft screen format. It is hard to see and takes too much room on the screen. Pastel colors are so hard to see!!!

Fix Draft Board View during on-line drafts with pick trades and 3rd round reversal.
Our drafting managers have complained that the DRAFT BOARD view does not present a clear, linear view of how the draft picks are displaying in the order they're being made.
This happens during the real-time draft, not necessarily looking at the screen after draft ends.

Thanks for your feedback. We will pass along your feedback to our draft team to look into this further.

CONFIRM USERS TO JOIN DRAFTS. HAVE A WAY TO LEAVE LEAGUE IF NOT INTENDED TO JOIN!!!!!
CONFIRM USERS TO JOIN DRAFTS. HAVE A WAY TO LEAVE LEAGUE IF NOT INTENDED TO JOIN!!!!
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 see a banner in the app that says "Draft Now" or receive a notification to draft now as well. Make sure you do not click on those if you do not want to be placed in one of these leagues. Please make sure you do not confuse these with mock drafts as well.
We apologize that we can't be of more assistance, but do know that you're not obligated to visit the team pages for…

Don't create teams that I had nothing to do with!
Yesterday I drafted a team and when I was finished Yahoo created two additional teams that I had nothing to do with. Now I'm unable to delete these additional teams and its a mess.
I will not use Yahoo in the future for my Fantasy Football. -
Stop changing leagues from paid to unpaid
A message posted saying the league would still run even if I did not fill the league. Why was the league not allowed to be a prize league? I would have cancelled or pushed the draft if I knew it would change. Your system made it difficult for multiple friends of mine to pay. We are being punished for your system.

Add confirmation before joining a public league
I clicked on the wrong spot trying to join my league's draft and now I'm stuck in some random public league. Hiding the team doesn't work in the app on Android. Before you force some random league down peoples throats you should add a confirm button. How the **** do I get rid of this team?
