Players are being locked in the waiver system even when they are not claimed by anyone. At 1am, most players that are not claimed move to free agents. This morning it kept several players, including Matt Bryant and Cameron Brate locked in the waiver system, even though no one claimed them. Then, apparently after waivers were awarded at 2:21am, they became free agents. It would be beneficial for all fantasy team owners if Yahoo would lock all players until waiver claims are awarded and then release all unclaimed players to free agency at the same time. Doing it in different waives and different order screws up those looking to add free agents that are locked for no apparent reason and also those who have put in waiver claims, but do not know if they will get their player, all while everyone else has an opportunity pick up the free agents. Yahoo - Please change this. Award all waiver claims first, then release all remaining players to free agency in that order! Thank you...

Two issues I faced regarding "Pre-Draft" settings:

1ST ISSUE:
1) 10 minutes before the draft time for one of my league, I realized that the time needed to be pushed by 30 minutes (I am the commissioner). Yahoo's pre-draft settings would not let me do this. The commissioner can only change the draft time UP TO one hour before the draft time begins. As per Yahoo, this is because that is when the draft room is created. This is ridiculous. You should be able to change the draft time ANYTIME before the draft begins, even if it's one second before start time, to accommodate team managers.

2nd ISSUE:
I communicated a specific draft order to my league. When we all entered the draft room, Yahoo changed that draft order, which as you can imagine GREATLY upset the entire group including myself. Because of Yahoo's "Pre-Draft" settings, I can only change Draft Order up to 1 hour before the actual draft time. Again, really stupid system limitation that does not keep Yahoo customer's needs in mind.

SUGGESTION: "PRE-DRAFT" means just that: ANYTIME before the draft. Yahoo, you need to fix this. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has found a need to change the draft time or draft order within 1 hour of original draft time. You have millions of customers who play Yahoo Fantasy Sports - make sensible system enhancements with the benefit of the customer in mind.

Myself and others in my league are constantly frustrated when we have injured players on our roster that have been ruled out by the team, and yet on Yahoo, every week after the games, the status changes from out, to Questionable, even when the team has said they will be out several weeks. For example, this week, I have Leornard Fournette, he's been out for several weeks and the team has already publicly stated he will not play till after the bye week. I have moved him to an IR spot and picked up a fill in player, but of course, come tuesday, Yahoo changes him to questionable again, so now he is no longer IR eligible, so it locks my roster from making any changes until I either drop a player off my roster, or just wait until he gets changed back to OUT. I don't think a players status should change from OUT, until the player is actually expected to play. This makes roster management practically impossible week in and week out and gives you a disadvantage to all of the other teams that don't have an injured player. Also, along the same lines, why is Leveon Bell listed as OUT!! The way yahoo works, a player listed as out is IR eligible. So now the Bell owner is able to just stash him in an IR spot all season long, and for some reason, his status stays at OUT every week, regardless of rumours of his return. It is ridiculous that a team can hold a player in an IR spot who is perfectly healthy and just refuses to play, and guys like myself who own Fournette, or others who have Dalvin Cook or anyone else who has suffered multiple game injuries, are stuck waiting till late in the week, when all the best pickups are gone from free agency before we can make any moves. Figure it out Yahoo!
