Improve the flaws in your waiver system.
In this league a team named Aiyuken did an add/drop at 5:41 pm thursday and I did none. We both put in a waiver claim for the same player but Ayuken was awarded the player. I should have been higher in waiver priority.
Your waiver system is messed up. Based on settings it should not have happened.Thank you for reaching out regarding the waivers in your league. The other team won the waiver claim because they had a higher waiver priority than you when the claim processed. The waiver priority for teams only changes when they add a player via waivers. If they add a player as a free agent, their waiver priority will not change.

Free Agent P/U and dropped within a time range
If a manager picks up a player then (before any game is played) drops him, player should still be a free agent. That's what I though happens, isn't it? To prevent someone flipping the entire list of active players back to waivers. Yahoo Prize H2H-Pts 1123034, Njoku was p/u as FA and hour and half later, dropped for another. Njoku should have been FA still. What if I needed a different TE at last minute (and had been thinking of him but went with Waller) I don't think the manager intended that maneuver, but rule needs to be in place…
Thank you for reaching out regarding adding/dropping players. If a player is added as a free agent and dropped the same day, the player will be a free agent and they will not go on waivers. If they are dropped the next day or later, they will go on waivers.

Make waiver order drag and drop style, not click and re-order
It takes so long to change waiver claim order, especially when you have 10+ claims. If you could drag and drop claims to re-order them it would make it so much faster. Almost every other platform does it this way and it's way better.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for your feedback.
We will pass along your feedback to our product team.

I have a few suggestions - you guys don't offer nearly as much features as other platforms
1.) I should know the exact times waivers will run. One time I stayed up Wednesday until 3am est because I wanted to pick up players after the claims were finished. The waivers didn't fully clear until 6am some time although some cleared. Shouldn't this be automatic??
2.) Your database should include more stats when an fantasy owner is searching for an available player. For example, I think it's very important to know how many passing attempts a QB has made in comparison to his completions. I also think its extremely valuable to know how many kicking attempts a kicker…
Hi Antwan!
Really appreciate you taking the time to write all this out. This is helpful feedback.
We’re currently working on a bunch of updates to make your day-to-day in the app smoother and a lot more useful, including a lot of what you've called out:
- Surfacing the right data in the right place at the right time
- Making add / drops and waiver pick ups transparent and simple
- Streamlining the league chat and messaging experience so it's faster and easier
Hearing exactly how these play out in your experience really helps give us more context! As you come across anything else you think we could improve, we'd love to hear your continued feedback.
We’ll definitely keep your notes in mind as we roll things out. Keep an eye out for these changes to hit the app over the coming weeks and months!
Thanks,

where is my qb change i executed on Monday?
i traded stroud for the qb with the colts. stroud is still showing up in my team. team is Colts Baby!! Yahoo H2H-Pts 105093
Thanks for reaching out regarding the QB change that you tried to make. It looks like another team won the waiver claim for Daniel Jones as they had a higher waiver priority than you when the waiver processed. They were second in the waiver order while your team was eighth. After they won the claim, they moved to the bottom of the waiver order. Your league uses the continual rolling list waiver priority setting and more information regarding it can be found here.

Guillotine league feedback: add weekly low-score waiver reseed + show weekly scores list
Hi Yahoo Fantasy team, (and yes, Warning: I did use ChatGPT to make my rambling thoughts make sense)
Our league has been running for years, and we were excited to try a full Guillotine format on Yahoo this season. First, thank you—the auto-cut feature has been great (despite one hiccup last week). The two places that are making commissioner work harder than it needs to be are waivers and weekly score visibility.
1) Waiver priority options (feature request)
In our commissioner settings, the tooltip suggests there are multiple waiver types, but we only see:
Continual Rolling List (CRL)
FAAB w/…
Thank you for your detailed feedback regarding improvements for guillotine leagues! Your thoughts and suggestions are extremely valuable to us which is why we've passed your comments along to our product and engineering teams.

Wait to show FA after waivers clear. Let waivers clear at 8 AM EST
Waivers do not need to be clearing at 4:18 AM CST. That is ridiculous. Make the waivers clear at 8 or 9 AM EST and don't show the available FA until after waivers clear

Unable to confirm waiver claims in Guillotine League
I'm having functionality problems, in that I am not presented with the confirm button when trying to make a waiver claim submission.
I've tried with a different browser. I've deleted all cookies. I've signed out and signed back in, nothing seems to work. Everyone else in our private league says that the "confirm" button is available to them.
I was able to successfully make waiver claims using the app on my phone. But my preference is to do everything on my laptop because it's just easier there.
Can you help?
I am enrolled in Guillotine League (ID# 1137128)
Thank you. -
Add option for fantasy football weekly waiver period to end on Wednesday
Adjust settings to allow for weekly waiver period settings to end on Wednesday as an option. Right now the options only allow you to end on Tuesday. Other sites have this as an option already.

What happened to stat projections?
Player projections for this week still haven't been updated and it is Wednesday. Makes it hard when picking up players. I used to like Yahoo better for it's player stats and projections, but if this is how it will be we may go elsewhere next year.

Optional waiver
Idea is to have waiver position optional on a pending transaction. In our league many of us wake up at 3 am to do roster moves without using the waiver order . By having option to not use waiver and complete transaction when all waiver moves are completed will help get some sleep. Obviously if another team has the same transaction then waiver order is needed or allow user to have choice to say don’t use waiver and only add if nobody else has a claim .

Guillotine leagues waivers
Hi,
I've run a guillotine league for a few years using yahoo. Had to manually drop the players immediately Tuesday morning but it worked every week to match with the Wednesday waiver date. Obviously this year will be much better with the new Guillotine settings.
My reason to reach out is about waiver options. We have done waivers based on WEEKLY points. Meaning if you score the 2nd lowest amount of points, you would get the #1 waiver spot the next week.
I will still need to manually set waivers each week. Not a big deal. But was wondering if…Thank you for your feedback regarding waivers for guillotine leagues. We will pass it along to our team!

NONE WAIVERS - Fix the start time of the following week!!
In 2024 the "None Waivers" changed to the following week starting on Sunday @ 11:59pm. That causes a lot of problems. 1. You can add a Monday night player Sunday night, drop them Monday morning and they stay in your lineup and get points while you stash another player. 2. If a Monday night player gets hurt on Monday you can not add a back up for the current week. Our league has been None Waivers since 2009 and it was never like that. This change makes no sense. PLEASE FIX
Hi Daniel,
If a manager wants to use a player for the current game week in a league with on waivers, they will need to add the player by 11:59 PM PT on Sunday. Otherwise, you will need to reach out to your league commissioner to edit the roster for the current week to use the added player.
Thanks,

Consistent/Set Time for waiver claims to be awarded
It would be nice if Yahoo would make a set time each week that waiver claims are awarded… Every Wednesday at 2:15am, all waivers will be processed. It has been all over the place for years. Why can’t this be done at a set time every week and be consistent?
There was a slight delay Wednesday in processing waivers that has since been resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Process Waivers before releasing players to free agency
Yahoo needs to award waivers to teams before releasing all other players to free agency. Team owners are held ******* not knowing if they will win the waiver claim while many other players are available to pick up as a free agent. We are stuck waiting for waivers to process approximately 1 hour after other players are available in free agency. This results in us missing an opportunity for other players if we don’t get the waiver claim. Please change this setting!!

Fix Free Agents
Fix free agents! You used to be able to pick up a player and play them Monday if there was an injury to a starter. Make Free Agents available to play as long as their game has not started. Pretty fricken simple.
Hello Timothy,
In leagues that don't use weekly waivers, managers must add a player by 11:59 PM PT on Sunday to use them in the current game week. Players added on Monday will not appear on your current week's roster. Commissioners can manually reflect these adds for players to be available Monday by going to Commissioner Tools >> Manage Other Teams >> Edit Rosters.

The teams that did not qualify for the playoffs should not be allowed to use the wavier wire
The teams that did not qualify for the playoffs should not be allowed to use the wavier wire because they will only block the teams that are still playing from getting players.
Hey Tim,
Public Leagues use default settings that include locking eliminated teams from the add/drop. This will only lock teams who are eliminated from either the playoffs or consolation bracket.
In a Private League, the commissioner can use their tools to lock teams who are eliminated from the add/drop feature.
Thanks,

Waivers should rank adds and drops
Allow fantasy managers to rank their waiver additions and rank their waiver drops. This way if the first waiver request is not awarded but the second waiver request is awarded then the first drop is dropped. Currently in this scenario you lose your second drop and retain the player you most wanted to drop.
Thanks for your suggestion. I will share that with our product team.

Why didn't free agents drop in all leagues last night? One league of mine did, but the other did not. Please fix it!
