Vickrey auction for waivers
Would love to see a Vickrey auction mechanism for waivers. The current waiver process would be modified such that, instead of deducting the highest $ bid amount, the amount deducted would be the second-highest bid +$1. For example, if I bid $3 for a free agent but the rest of my league doesn't bid, or they all bid $0, then I receive the player for $1. Another example: If I bid $70 for Zach Wilson (in my superflex league, when Aaron Rodgers snaps his achilles), and the next highest bid is $40, then I receive Wilson for $41. The academic…

Live Auction Waivers
Apply the live auction draft format to waivers. Make all waiver bids transparent in real time to all league participants, apply a commissioner defined cutoff time (i.e Tuesday, 10pm). Highest bid acquires the player.
Any league member can "nominate" a player for whatever $ amount they'd like, anything $1 or over hits the waiver auction board so the entire league can see it and bid.

My issues is with the default settings for waivers. I just took a loss because of a default setting that is not fair for teams playing on Mo
My issues is with the default settings for waivers. I just took a loss because of a default setting that is not fair for teams playing on Monday Night...with players that teams hold their playing status till the last minute.
Example: I had Aaron Jones that didn't get a designation of out until game time...I tried to pick up A.J. Dillion but they said he would not be available until week 6.
Issue: I waiver rule was set to NONE..... because we want all un-rostered players to be free agents....not on the waiver rule..this makes no sense....the problem with the…
Hello Arthur,
Thanks for the feedback.
In Private Leagues using none for waivers, the commissioner can use their tools to edit a team's roster to add, drop, or edit a team's roster if a player is needed after the deadline to use for that week.

Explain waver rules and exactly how you can move up or down in the waiver order
The waiver order is confusing to me. Although people ahead of me make claims after I've made a claim, my waiver order doesn't change. Exactly why is that ?

Fix the waiver wire priority non-sense.
We are on Continually rolling list, and I have not used a waiver this week, someone else in my league used three this week but he's still ahead of me for the next priority. How the **** does this work because I have never got the number 1 priority and I have gone several weeks without using a waiver pick and still I'm like number 4 at best. Please help me understand this.
Please reach out via help.yahoo.com for assistance looking into this issue.

change your waiver system...in order of standings each week
most fair system, not FAAB or continuous...just reset based after each week's standings - just like CBS

Contingents for Waiver Pickups
I wanted to suggest contingent waiver wire pick ups. I know there is the format that allows you to not pick up Player B if you get Player A. But I would like a format that allows you to negate your waiver claim for player B if you do not get Player A
For example, I want to pick up a RB using a high waiver. However, I would not like to use a high waiver on a WR I had in mind. I would like to only pick up the WR assuming I get the RB, thus using a…

Don't allow Free Agent moves during waiver period
While looking at the transaction logs for last night's waivers, I noticed a manager was able to pickup waiver players as free agents before the waiver process. Waivers completed at 4:02 am and the Free Agent moves were completed between 3:14 and 3:29 am. It appears Yahoo converts all unclaimed waiver players to free agents even before it has processed the waiver claims. This allows managers to know whether there was any waiver claims for a player and pick him up as a FA without jeopardizing their waiver position, and if there was a waiver claim for that player, he…

A dropped player is locked in waivers until after his current week's game.
Someone dropped a player during the waiver process that cleared on 9/13. This put the dropped player on waivers until 9/16. This dropped player will be playing in the Thursday night game on 9/14. This creates a situation where he cannot be picked up to be played on an active roster this week. I think the waiver process should be accelerated so dropped players can be eligible to be added prior to the Thursday night game.
Hi Bryan,
Thanks for reaching out.
Public League settings cannot be changed and a player would not clear waivers until the listed date. If that player has already played for the week, then they would remain on waivers due to the default Game Time - Tuesday setting.
In a Private League, a commissioner can edit the waiver dates for players to have them clear before the listed date.
Thanks,

Why did you remove the ability to see all FAAB bids after transactions?
This has been a feature for as long as I've been using FAAB, and now it's not on there. Why did you remove it?
Hello Terry,
Thanks for reaching out.
On the desktop site, you can view the FAB Offers in the transaction log to see which players had multiple offers placed. If only 1 manager put in an offer on a player, that will be the listed transaction in the log.
On the app, you will be able to see the offers by other teams in the chat log.
Thanks,

Please explain how waiver priorities are determined.
Should be able to see where your waiver priority is and how that is determined. Should not be penalized if loose waiver on someone you need and then have to pick up someone that no one else wants and have it treated as successful waiver claim. Should only be wins on contested players.
How waivers work depends on your league's settings. You can learn more about this here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN6427.html

Something Yahoo! just did!
I absolutely love the new format for letting me know about the waivers being successful / unsuccessful all in one e-mail per team. I have 8 teams, and this makes it a much cleaner way for me to track them, while not clogging my mailbox. Thank you Yahoo!!!!

Weekly recaps and waiver wire claims should come after stat corrections are done.
We have had a couple instances where someone lost a waiver pick up due to the incorrect waiver wire order prior to the stat corrections. How is the stat correction information gathered and processed. Is it possible that you put in a toggle where we can choose all scores are finale as of a certain day in the week, no matter the stat correction.
Thanks for your feedback! We strive to always make sure we have accurate stats however if the NFL makes a stat correction after waivers process and before the Thursday night game for the following week, it will be applied in our game.

Add limits to waiver claims and lockouts
Since consolation games are of little to no consequence, would it be possible to lock out all teams out of playoffs / or playoff contention from making waiver claims? Also, you can impose a cap on transactions, but what about a cap on waiver moves specifically? I feel such a cap would encourage more trades.

Waiver Claims For players you previously dropped.
Please remove the feature where you cannot make waiver claims on players you previously dropped. If on Friday you drop a player to pick up another asset you cannot make a pass to claim them the following week. For example you drop a back up like Jerome Ford, for a defense the week before Chubb gets hurt and now you cannot make a waiver claim for wham might be the most important pick up of te season. I suggest turning it off completely or making it something a commish can turn on or off.
Thank you for your feedback regarding not being able to add players via waivers after you recently dropped them. We will pass it along to our team!

"WAIVER WIRE "TRANSACTION ERROR" CORRECTION CAPABILITY
If there is a transaction error, please allow commissioners to correct. For example, this week's waiver wire awarded the same manager in consecutive turns. I wish i could post a snapshot, but he clearly had "Higher Priority" for 2 turns in a row. The "Waiver Offers" also clearly show. This is unfair and i would like to correct it. This caused a chain reaction of players losing out on priority.
The waiver priority "reverse order of standings" works this way. The team with the lower standing and higher waiver priority will get every claim they put in over a team with a lower priority. If you want it where the priority goes to the bottom of the list after you'd want the "weekly rolling list based on standings" option.

Waivers: Setting a minimum bid of $1
Is there a setting to disallow $0 bids when using FAAB? We don't allow $0 bids in our league (because "bidding" literally means making an offer and 'nothing' is not an offer, unless you are watching Godfather II). ESPN and all the others have a setting to allow/disallow $0 bids. Yahoo? Nothing. as usual
Hello,
Thanks for reaching out.
There is no option to have offers set to a minimum of $1. Teams can put in an offer of $0. If this is a league rule, you will have to review the league to ensure teams are following the rule.

Prior to start of season no waiting to clear waivers
Prior to start of season there should not be any need to wait for a player to clear waivers. Prior to the opening of the season a waiver request should just happen. ESPN and NFL do not require a wait time and neither should Yahoo
Hi Don,
Thanks for reaching out.
Yahoo Public Leagues use default settings which include post-draft players following the league's waiver rules. Players will be placed onto waivers for 2 full days following the day the draft was completed.
In a Private League, a commissioner can edit this setting for post-draft players to be free agents. This setting can only be adjusted pre-draft.
Thanks,

Prior to the start of the season players on waivers should be able to be picked up without waiting for them to clear waivers
Prior to the start of the season players on waivers should be able to be picked up immediately without waiting for them to clear waivers.
This is a setting within your league, it is on the league settings page "after draft make all unrostered players". You can set that to free agents pre-draft but it cannot be customized post draft.
