Fix waivers
I cannot submit multiple waiver claims and choose the same player to drop. Once I hit Confirm, it says player is in a pending transaction. Fantasy Football on Android, app version 12.11.0
Thank you for reaching out regarding being unable to submit multiple waiver claims and choose the same player to drop. You should be able to do this. If you cannot, please contact our support team via https://help.yahoo.com/kb/fantasy-football >> Contact Us.

See below
Our 2 leagues use the waiver priority system.
Currently, waivers are clearing over an hour after free agents come available.
This is a problem because that while waiting for waivers to clear, other managers are getting 1st shot at all free agents.
I am aware that putting a 2nd waiver, dropping the same player, ensures you get your 2nd or 3rd choice. The problem with this is that you are using up your waiver priority when you don't necessarily want to. Often, that player could be available as a free agent.
The logical sequence to the waiver process is for…Hi Chris,

FAAB Waiver priority
You should be able to prioritize your FAAB bids based on how much you personally want a guy and not by the dollar amount. Tonight I'm bidding $6 on a guy and $14 on another. I have only one bench spot. I know I want the $6 guy more than the $14 guy. So my options are to increase the $6 bid which I don't think I will have to do or just forget about trying to get the other guy. Maybe there's a reason for this that I don't see.

STATS not PROJECTIONS please
Is there anyway of being able to set your own page to have SEASON TOTALS show up when you click on available players....Whenever I click on PLAYERS it automatically starts up with PROJECTED STATS for that week. Projected stats are just that PROJEDCTED not guaranteed. I want to see when I click on players what they have done....not projected. Yes I know I can change it but I think I can speak for others when I say "we'd rather se what they have done" NOT what they "MIGHT" do.
Thank you for reaching out regarding having it show season totals instead of projections. The players page will default to show projections and there is no way to change this. However, we appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team!

Waiver Problem
I have a league member that is claiming he placed a bid on a player which was not recorded. Is there anyway to research this and see it there was a mistake made internally within the system? Thank you!

Show my players
I want to see my teams rankings when I look at waiver wire for comparison to available players.
Thanks for reaching out about seeing your team's rankings when you look at the waiver wire for comparison to available players. If you are on the players page, you should see it say "Show my team". If you click on this, it'll show your players in addition to the available players.

Jared Goff
In my league Jared Goff was dropped on the Tuesday night / Wednesday morning wire. He should've been available after the waiver period. My leagues waiver period is 1 day. This has been the setting for about 10 years now. We did this so that players who are playing in the Thursday game could be picked up if dropped on the initial Tues/ Wed wire. A team entered a claim for Goff Wed and was denied. Would like to know why.
Thank you for reaching out regarding waivers in your league. If a player is dropped after 11:59 PM PT on Tuesday and the time players are on waivers setting is set to 1 day, the player will clear waivers on Friday. The waiver time is measured in full days so if the player is dropped on Wednesday, Thursday is the 1 full day on waivers, and they clear waivers on Friday.

Fix the obvious Player is Out for multiple weeks from switching to doubtful and then out right before the games
when players are universally known to be OUT for weeks (Stribling) why are they listed as Doubtful. This blocks an IR slot. In my instance, I had to cut a player due to this. It was UNIVERSALLY known by Saturday or Sunday that Stribling was out at least 4 weeks with IR a real possibility. Yet, he was listed as doubtful. Now he has been put on IR and the designation has still not been changed to IR, it still says Doubtful.
Hi Tom,
Player injury designations are determined by our data provider.
If a team does not place a player on the IR, the player's injury designation will reset at the start of each new game week. Once the team officially rules the player out for the week, it will be updated by our data provider and then reflected in our game.

Award waivers before players are released to free agency
This is a huge problem and has to be fixed. Yahoo must award all waiver claims before releasing players to free agency. It creates a disadvantage to teams that put in a waiver claim to have to wait to see if they won the claim while other teams ****** up players in free agency. If I have one player I want to drop and he is tied up on a waiver claim, I can’t drop that player because there is still hope of getting the waiver claim. If I get the claim, great, I got the player I wanted. If…
Hi Bryce,
Thank you for your feedback.
Once the waiver period ends at 11:59 PM PT on Tuesday, waivers will begin to be processed at approximately 12 AM PT on Wednesday. Due to the large number of waivers being processed across all leagues, there may be a delay in the waivers being posted in the league.
At the same time that waivers begin processing, players who don't have a waiver claim placed will become free agents. If there is a player who is someone of interest that you may want if you don't get a waiver, you have the ability to put in more than one waiver offer for players. This will prevent managers from adding a player as a free agent and allow you to get the player if your first waiver option doesn't go in your favor.
Thanks,

Could you change the color?
The green plus next to the free agents available and the brown or yellow or whatever color that is on the locked free agents looks very similar in the app. Its very hard to distinguish the difference in the colors. Could you possibly change the locked free agents to red maybe or any other color that is easy to see that they are locked? Thank you.

Options for sorting available players
The current app only allows you to look at available players and sort by projected points the upcoming week. In the past you could also have it show things like points scores last week or total points so far and sort by those. Only allowing us to use yahoo projections and not being able to look at recent outputs is awful, please put those options back into the app.
Hi Paul,
The ability to filter to look at fantasy points from the previous week or the entire season is still available in the Fantasy app. Season (total) will show the total amount of fantasy points that a player has scored for the current season. You can select a specific week if you want to view the points they scored in that week.

More flexible waiver rules
1-We have always played with FAs even during games (dropped players on waivers for 24 hours, then FAs if not claimed). But because I have an unfair advantage (living in Europe, I have the freedom to watch at night), I'd like to block pickups (ideally for the season, if necessary manually and weekly) for the ********* games. Not possible, so I have suggested a gentlemen's agreement. Suboptimal.
2-I'd like to start the waiver rankings with the reversed standings of the previous year, not with the luck of the draw. Not possible. Should be easy to change, right? (To this, I…

Better waiver sorting
You should be able to sort available free agents by IR slot eligibility. Currently you have to page thru all players to see ones that can be added directly to IR
While you are not able to sort players by IR eligibility in the app, you are able to do this on web. If you access the players page on web, you can find this under the "Status" drop-down. We appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team.

Hi Christopher,

Please note that once the league has been drafted, the commissioner can use their tools to edit the waiver priority rank for each team if you choose to award priority based on the reversed standings from the previous season.

Have a check box to activate no free waiver pick ups for Death Leagues. Minimum $1 pick ups
This would be better for managing your budget throughout the season. Rewarding those that spend best. At least make it an option for those that want it.

Remove Waiver Setting Disallowing managers to waiver a recently dropped player
There is a mandatory setting that disallows managers from submitting waiver claims on players they dropped. This rule does not make sense. The managers would be “penalized” for dropping and waiving using their priority or FAAB. Everyone should have access to everyone.
Example of why it’s bad. This season I dropped a backup, RB. In the game the primary got injured and he became the guy. I had #2 priority and wasn’t even allowed to submit a claim. Our #10 priority got him, but not even on his first claim. He submitted two claims, got his first and then claimed…

League Settings
In the league I'm in the waiver setting is set to "rolling list based on standings" and it also locks eliminated teams, so the league I'm in I got into the playoffs as the last seed so I assumed that I would have first priority in waivers each week. However once playoffs start it only goes to a rolling priority, but it doesn't say that anywhere in the settings. It would be great if we could get something in the settings informing users that waiver settings change for the playoffs and it's based on a rolling list instead of standings

Potential Waiver Process error
Reference FF with a Knuckleball (ID# 237752)….Submitted waiver claims for defenses on November 25th for Week 13 processing…
Our league showed there were submitted waiver claims for three defenses at 2am CST. None of the league managers submitted a claim for a defense. Is it possible Yahoo’s server did this in error? Can I please get a response?
Thank you for reaching out regarding the waivers in your league. Multiple defenses were added by teams in the morning on November 26th. None of these adds were waiver claims. These teams added these defenses as free agents. The managers of these teams made these transactions.

Rolling Waivers needs to be fixed !!
There needs to be changes to the rolling waivers model. Its too easy to "game the system" and gives an unfair advantage to guys that are willing to set their alarm clock to wake up in the middle of the night to claim free agents that cleared waivers!!

Waiver wire - dropped player
I hate that you can't use a waiver on a player you've dropped. I understand there need to be some limitations to keep people from abusing the system, but it can also be used as a strategy. If I have to drop a player because of byes or injury, but I have a high waiver pick and feel I can get that player back, I should be able to. If I want to use a waiver spot and am willing to go to the back of the waiver line to get them, why is that a problem??
I had to…
