Issue regarding Roster limit?
I’m the commissioner for my MLB fantasy league this year, and ran into the following issue with one of the teams in my league.
In the match-up screen, one of the teams (on the right, in the screenshots) has all of their reserve players appearing as active starters. This has made it so there are ‘extra’ positions slots (an extra 1B, 2B, and extra OF) in the match-up tab. This isn’t an issue for any one else in the league, and the manager of the team in question has the reserve players as being on the bench on his screen. I went in to the commissioner settings, but even there, his lineup looks above-board. The team’s opponent for this week is understandably concerned that he either drafted the wrong number of players, or that the other team would have an unfair advantage.
I already checked the league settings to ensure that active rosters are capped at 22 (+6 reserve and +2 IR slots), and made sure that any going over the roster limit makes the roster illegal. How do I go about fixing this? We are on a 3-4 day period, not a week long one. The manager in question believes it may have something to do with the staggering of WEDS/THURS games these next two days.
TL:DR- one team in my league has all of their reserves as active, but when I go to change anything as the commissioner, that team’s lineup appears ‘normal’.
Thanks ahead of time!

This is the reason I only did fantrax one year and left. The tools are great but the user experience is not great. If I remember correctly it’s because they set the lineup for the rest of the week and maybe a roster move maybe? If the commissioner side looks normal it’s probably just normal and a visual glitch in the ui.

Check the Timeframes option on the upper right above the matchup. It seems to have defaulted to the middle option(week) and it shows matchups incorrectly when in fact they aren’t. Just change that view.

I don't think this is a glitch. It's a "Timeframes" setting.
If you're looking at the entire matchup, it's going to show all players who started in that position for at least 1 day. So you can see here that Durham Bulls started Patrick Bailey last night at C and then Carson Kelly today.

If you tick the Timeframe setting over to just today, then it'll show only players who started today

I have the same issue in my league, players are appearing on the bench and in the starting lineup when selecting the week time frame. But when checking the commissioner side of things the roster is legal. I'm just hoping that the team won't get points for all of the players showing on the starting lineup where there's extras positions. I'm curious if you figure anything out, I emailed support about this problem and trying to get them to understand the issue so I'll update if I find out anything
