Draft Window
The new format was buggy. Every time a manager picked and the top scroll bar would advance, my entry process was interrupted. If I was scrolling down looking for a player, it was reset back to the top. If I was typing a name to find a player, it would kick me out of the text box and I would have to click back into the text box to continue. The star for the Que was in the same spot as the draft button. So one time when I was trying to add a DL to my que my turn…

Queue button should NOT turn to draft button when it's your turn to draft
The feature where the queue button on the players list turns into a draft button the moment you are on the clock makes it very easy to accidentally draft a player you intended to queue. I recommend changing this feature for next year as the two buttons should absolutely not be shared and it would be nice to be able to queue a player even when you are on the clock to draft. Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback regarding the queue button changing to the draft button when it is your turn to draft. Our product and engineering teams are looking to improve this behavior in the future. We will pass your feedback along!

fantasy football edit pre draft rankings in unfunctional
I have been using yahoo for over 20 years, I am contemplating using another service because it is impossible to sort player rankings. The format has been the same for like 10 years, now its unusable. This is true on web and mobile.
Thank you for your feedback regarding the edit pre-draft rankings function. 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.

Have your mock drafts built to the specifications of lineups - meaning if it is a Superflex League - put the rankings according to Superflex
I have been in a Yahoo Superflex League for 5 years now, yet you still have not updated the algorithms to make the rankings Superflex rankings when drafting. Please update.

Draft Room Is Not Usable Anymore
For the first time in 20 plus years, I will not have any fantasy football teams on Yahoo. The changes to the draft room make it borderline unusable. Especially with the giant advertisements at the bottom. Also, it is really stupid how stat tracker only shows the bottom scoring team and my team in Death Leagues. I'd like to see how all the teams are doing. How is this not an option? I've moved everything to sleeper.

New app has serious connection issues
New app repeatedly disconnected our league and wouldn't allow bids. We've never run into this issue on previous iterations. Both people on Wifi as well as cell connections had these problems. Please fix - we've had a great experience using Yahoo until now.

Make the player list larger and easier to see
Couldn't see the list. An ad was blocking my view of the player list so I was just drafting blind. I finally let autodraft take over and did much better. I won't go 0-15 as your review predicts.

Remove the 800 player limit on the Do Not Draft file.
Reason: I always play in a 12-member league that does auto-draft. (12 members x 16 rounds = 192 selections) I put roughly 200 selections in the Preferred file and move all of the other selections into the Do Not Draft file. Currently, there are 1149 total selections available, minus my 200 Preferred selections, requiring 949 selections to be moved into the Do Not Draft file. But you only allow 800.

Give more than 30 minutes to get our draft position
Why is the draft position revealed only 30 minutes prior to our draft? Is there a reason for this? I would be nice to prepare in advance. Thanks.
Hi Ross,
By default, the draft order will be randomized approximately 30 minutes before the scheduled draft. Commissioners in a Private League can set a customized draft order or randomize the draft order earlier than 30 minutes through their tools.

in the drafting
2x in a roll i was looking at players making some favorites. once it was my pick EVEN first round 2nd pick, it rapidly went from a favored stat to draft and i ended up getting the 6th best TE as my first pick. same as QB i was making favorites when bling sound/drafted perdy of SF when all QBs were there. Stop making the star and draft in same spot. im glad it was mock but it is a bad change for yahoo being #1 fantasy.

You Changed The Layout For The Drafts
You changed the layout within the draft room but did not detail how to get to the players we preranked. I searched online to no avail. I spent three hours preranking players and can't get to them. This is beyond frustrating.

Jim Donald
Hi Jim,
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.
Thanks,

Undo the Changes to the Live Draft
The updates to the live draft room have made things considerably worse. Formerly, you could see the recent players taken in the bottom right corner window. Now it appears one has to leave the screen with the available players on it, navigate elsewhere just to see who people are taking. Gone is the line on the list of players that would tell you where you'd be picking again. You used to be able to have some idea who might still be around when it was your turn again. It's difficult to use ADP now to determine whether a player on…

Act on it
I have drafted in eleven yahoo fantasy football leagues. The draw order is supposed to be random. It can't be. In all even drafts Ive been 6th or later. The equivalent of flipping a coin 11 times and being tails every single time. bob_alley2003@yayoo.com Million to one odds of that happening.
Thank you for reaching out regarding the draft order in your leagues. In public leagues, the draft order is completely randomized. It is possible to end up with similar or even the same picks in multiple leagues.

Problems with putting players in the queue
If I am going down the list of players to put some in my queue, and my turn to draft comes up unexpectedly (someone ahead of me sets autodraft) my attempt to put people on my queue ACCIDENTALLY drafts them because the queue STARS turn into the DRAFT button. That bug drives me crazy....

Fantasy Football Mock draft
Who thought it was a good idea to put the player favorite star button in the same location as the Draft button that pops up when its your turn to draft. In serveral mock drafts I have selected a player from the 10th round in the 2-3 round while flagging players. Sooooooooooo stupid!!!!!!

Change the Draft site so that the Draft button does not replace the Queue button when it's your turn to draft.
I just did a Mock Draft. I was adding players to my queue when my turn to draft was next. I was about to add a player to my queue just as the person before me drafted his player. The star I was clicking on to add the player to my queue changed to a Draft button a split second before I clicked. So I unintentionally drafted that player. That player would have been about 20th in my queue. That's unacceptable. Please fix that so that no one can accidentally draft someone they don't want to draft yet. (This was…

Fantasy Football App (Android) - DRAFT BUG FOUND
Who's idea was it to switch from adding players to your queue ("star") to a draft now button immediately upon it becoming your turn?!? I have "accidentally" drafted players while trying to add them to my queue, because the switch happens so fast and your mind cannot stop your finger from hitting the screen prior to it registering in your brain it is your turn to draft. It has happened so many times to me alone, I can only guess that during a real draft you are going to **** off 100s of thousands, maybe millions of owners drafting, because…
