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?

Just explain
I’ve been using Yahoo fantasy football for years. I paid $50 to join a league. Draft day was set. I tested the draft tester on my iPhone. It said it wasn’t compatible. So I went to my PC. Tested the draft and it was compatible. Draft night 8/31, I entered the draft room, but I got a purple blocker that say SUBSCRIBE! Why would I have to subscribe when I paid $50 to draft! Later, on my phone, I checked to see what team I got stuck with for $50. And the draft was open in my phone!! I could’ve…

Earliest round for kickers and defenses
I had to use Yahoo auto draft this year, and it did fine except for the awful decision it made to draft my kicker and defense in the 5th and 6th rounds!!! That is ridiculous, especially when I went into the pre draft rankings and moved all kickers and defenses back so the 10th round should have been the earliest. I see some notes now that your logic will try to fill starter spots first, and that kickers and defenses can be put in the do not draft list. Seems like a better idea would be to simply allow the…

verification process
I am writing to express my frustration with my recent experience attempting to verify my account. Unfortunately, the process has been both disappointing and time-consuming.
I attempted to verify my account only once, yet I was informed that I had tried multiple times. This is simply inaccurate. On top of that, I was sent broken links and told that “your engineers are working on it,” which left me without a real solution. As a result, my access was restricted, my league was canceled, and I lost valuable time.
What bothers me most is the amount of time wasted—over two hours—trying…

The computer drafted my team, then graded it F WTH???
I don't understand how your computer does drafting. I had to use autodraft this year and the computer drafted 4 questionable players, one player that was NA, and gave me an over "F" rating for my team. What the ****??? I don't understand.
I also don't understand how my league's draft order is chosen. The same teams get the first picks year after, regardless of how they came out in the season. Why doesn't the last place teams get first picks like the NFL? Again, I don't understand.
Getting a little fed up with Yahoo fantasy.

Go back to the previous years' draft board
Beginning this year with the MLB Fantasy Draft your Draft Screen is terrible. All this junk is at the top and the available draft players are way at the bottom showing just a few. I had to shrink the screen as far as I could and still be readable to effectively participate. In the past I had no problems. Please go back to the old version. I'm not the only ones in my league with this complaint.
Thank you for your feedback regarding the draft board. We will pass it along to our team. If you are only seeing a few players at a time, make sure to zoom out in your browser as you may be zoomed in too far.

Let people leave league if draft is reset
Let people remove themselves from a league if that draft has been reset instead of finalizing it and locking people in. We have a commissioner that refuses to let anyone leave despite him screwing up the draft and resetting it
Hello,
If the commissioner does not finalize the team list, it will automatically happen once the draft opens. The team list will not unlock automatically if the draft is reset, and is something that would need to be done by the commissioner.
Thanks,

Make it possible to change draft order
I have searched all topics and cannot find tab to change draft order
Hi,
First step - Finalize your team list to begin (no new managers can join after doing this).
Live Standard Drafts:
- From Yahoo Fantasy, mouse over Fantasy | select a sport.
- Click the Commissioner tab.
- If playing Basketball, Football, or Hockey, click the Draft & Keeper tab.
- Click Edit Draft order & Assign Keeper Players.
- Select Custom Order and Keeper League Players.
- Adjust the order.
- Select the round rotation type:
- Snaking - The manager who drafts last in one round goes first in the next round.
- Non-Snaking - The draft order stays the same each round.
- Click Continue to customize each round or click Done to finish.
Thanks,

Draft order
Entering our custom draft order it makes you select and update each round separately to do an online draft. Complete pain and I lost league mates because of the headache we had last night. Please add a choice to copy order to every round in the assign order and keeper section

Co-Manager Draft Access
In years past when I had a comanager on my fantasy teams, we were able to both be in the draft rooms at the same time. For the last few drafts in MLB and NFL, this has changed. Can this please be adjusted
Hello Lucas,
If you're experiencing an issue during a draft, please contact us through the sports tab at help.yahoo.com, @YahooFantasyCC on X, or r/YahooFantasy on Reddit for assistance.

Customizable Full IDP Mock Drafts
Customizable Mock Drafts:
1) In Fantasy+ can we still draft against actual people in mock drafts? Drafting against an algorithm is nothing like drafting against real humans. Do we get the option in customizable IDP leagues like mine to draft against actual people or is it only against the computer?
2) Are customizable mock drafts available in all Fantasy + ? When I click to pay, it isn't listed anywhere as coming with Fantasy +
Thanks
Hi,
You can get more information about Instant Mock Drafts in Yahoo Fantasy Plus at https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN37117.html. The mock drafts are not customizable.

Fix your game
Somehow I have a football team that I didn't draft and don't want. What's up with your app? I don't know if Yahoo has cut staff or what but the quality of your game sure has slipped over the past couple of years. Relieve me of this team (Gambling Iggy something something) and clear my slate.
Hi Howard,
It sounds like the league that you are entered 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 is over, 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 Settings.
Thanks,
