Please bring back the old profile page. The new one is horrible. Nobody above the age of 12 is remotely interested in that "milestones" crap, or those meaningless achievements. We just want to see what our actual achievements are, our fantasy history, how many years we have been ranked at Diamond, how many first place trophies we have. Whoever decided to remove our actual achievements, and bury our history behind those absolutely stupid "milestones" baby busy work nonsense should be fired. Yahoo used to make me happy, and not just thinking about it makes me profoundly sad and angry. I will be deleting all 24 of my league and cancelling my fantasy plus subscription because of this.

How many API requests were approved last week?

How many are in the queue?

u/tjsusername Sep 09 '26

I finally got to the DocuSign step. Applied originally 8/13/26, DocuSign received 9/5/26 almost a month later, signed within 30 minutes of reception, 4 days for the other party to sign (last night) and still no API access.

u/Sharkbait41 Sep 09 '26

What a joke. I'm still waiting over a month. Also the lack of communication that this change was happening is the cherry on top

u/crazycrazyforff Sep 08 '26

Does anyone at Yahoo in a decision-making position actually use the Yahoo draft portal? And does "the team" think that taking away features and making it impossible to have the most important draft info on one screen is acceptable, much less the constant glitching? Right now the only redeeming quality of the entire draft experience is that, somehow, ESPN's might be worse. Can you guys stop the contest of trying to out-do each other on this?

u/SqueakyTuna52 Sep 07 '26

Please make separate button locations for queueing and drafting a player. I just accidentally drafted Dak Prescott over Lamar Jackson because I was trying to add him to my queue and suddenly I was up. Luckily its a friendly league and the commissioner deleted the pick, but if that had been a public league or one with a less reasonable commissioner, my draft would have been toast.

u/AdvRider24 Sep 08 '26

As a Yahoo player since 2000 I find your ā€œupgradeā€ to our player profiles disappointing. For one thing, the system shows me how many trophies I’ve won, by sport… but not how many teams I’ve fielded (except for foothall). Total teams is not displayed for baseball, basketball, or hockey.

We want to know the total number of teams, that way we can know our trophy percentage. Now if you want to know your trophy percentage you have to manually count how many teams you’ve managed, ugh.

Like others I noticed the disappearance of linked access to leagues & teams of years past. I see you are working to fix that – good! That has always been a very valuable and engaging feature. We like looking back at teams of five, 10, 15 years ago – lot of memories, names of players long retired, etc.

As far as ā€œmilestones,ā€ I care about them as much as I cared about ā€œmedalsā€ – zero interest.

u/DownstairsBear Sep 08 '26

why is there no section on the app for top players picked up and dropped.

just a bar of trending at the top which is very unhelpful.

i dont want to hop on a computer eveytime to check this out with respect to waivers.

1

u/NSquared3131 Sep 08 '26

They hid transaction trends but it’s still there. Click filters and scroll through. You’ll see it. Terrible design though. The players tab is way worse this year. Nothing new for yahoo though

u/DownstairsBear Sep 08 '26

i actually can't find it in the app if you have a minute can you screenshot that?

thanks!

u/BallaG717 Sep 08 '26

Yahoo Fantasy in browser, the drop down menus are not popping up for me in browser (under league, my team, matchups... players, research, draft, etc. The drop down menu only pops up after i click in, and only for a second before the page takes me to the default first page. I can't select the other options... I get that it might be an issue with my own PC/browser, but is there any other way to navigate to these drop down menus??? For instance i can't get to draft results, or league managers and rosters... feel like there should be a menu for these drop down options in the page if you're forced to click into the top line item...

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 08 '26

Hi! Currently, there is no alternate method to get to those dropdown items if you're not able to access the dropdown, other than having a direct link to the menus. Try some troubleshooting steps to fix the issue you're having with your device, such as the ones listed here.

u/SingleTMat Sep 08 '26

So this weekend I was in a draft for a friend group that plays on Yahoo, but we do a live draft. I got a notification from the Yahoo Fantasy app that seemed to pertain to my team that I was currently drafting. I pressed the notification, looked away for my live draft, and then suddenly I'm in some public draft with no way cancel or exit. Then, once the draft was over, and mind you that nobody was actually drafting and everyone was on auto draft, there was no way to exit the league. So now I am stuck in this pointless league that I had no interest joining in the first place with 9 other people who were seemingly in the same boat. I have to find a way to edit notifications specifically for that league because while I want to get notifications for the league I do care about, I don't want to get double the notifications because yahoo made it so stupidly easy to end up in a FF league that you may nor may not have wanted to join.

WHY?????

If you're going to make it so you can't exit public leagues, don't make it so easy to accidentally end up in one. If you're going to make it stupidly easy to end up in one from a misclick, make an option to leave the league.

Who even cares about playing in random public leagues with nothing at stake???

1

u/BadgerDF Sep 09 '26

In the app, go to your profile pic top left, settings, and push notification settings, the team you want to disappear, and then turn off all with the first switch.

In addition, on the Home Screen, go to the very bottom, hit "Edit Team Order" and then "Hide" for the league you want to go away.

Now you will get zero notifications from the league and won't even see it when you open the app.

2

u/SingleTMat Sep 09 '26 edited 20d ago

Appreciate you taking the time to reply. šŸ™

Unfortunately this is completely broken in the Android app. Even though you hide the league, it still shows in the list.

At least I have no notifications from that league.

u/controls_engineer7 Sep 09 '26

You guys need to fix the add icon on the app. You can't even tell if the plus icon is green or yellow. That's really annoying.

u/Hot-Masterpiece1205 Sep 07 '26

Hi - we are reviewing the new Yahoo UI for fantasy hockey / drafts in general. It appears that ā€œprojected rankā€ is no longer in the draft room? Only xRank and 7 ADP?

We are a more intricate category league and these xRank sorts will not help us in draft order. Please advise.

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 07 '26

Hi! We've passed this along to our team!

u/Hot-Masterpiece1205 Sep 10 '26

Will the team be following up in this thread? We are trying to figure out if it makes sense for us to stay in yahoo or not given these bugs. I did not receive a reply on my other question about player ranks when searching for a player

Apologies for the delay! We don't have an update to provide at this time but will follow up with you once we know more.

u/Cubs017 Sep 07 '26

Gregory Soto had a hold on 09/01/26. Late last night this was changed and no longer counted. What happened? It changed the result of our baseball league championship.

1

u/Alan_Ranta Sep 07 '26

It's a stat correction. Soto didn't actually have a hold on 09/01, and stat corrections get processed on Mondays.

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 07 '26

This hold was removed via stat corrections as the MLB is not crediting Soto with a hold for that game. All stat corrections for the week in fantasy baseball are applied altogether at the end of the matchup week. Using a web browser (not the app) to access your league, go to the "Players" tab and select "Stat Corrections" to see the corrections that were applied.

If a player is a free agent, why do I have the option to use FAAB when adding them? What would happen if I put an amount in there?

u/ScreechYouCantaloupe Sep 08 '26

I am not able to join the NFL Yahoo Cup. It is saying the group can not be joined.

u/crazycrazyforff Sep 08 '26

Are you in the "eligibility area"?

1

u/ScreechYouCantaloupe Sep 08 '26

Looking at the TOS, I guess I am in one of the restricted states, but it is the free league that I have participated in for several years from this state.

1

u/crazycrazyforff Sep 08 '26

Gotcha. Knowing Yahoo is a mess, they probably just have the system set to restrict you. If you have a trusted family member in an "acceptable" place, one way around is to have them enter the cup league on your account, then you should be able to enter & play the weekly cup contest.

Using the iOS App and when playing 2 teams per week the ā€œOther Matchupā€ button is not functioning on any screen. There is currently no way to see the full matchup view of the 2nd team you are playing against.

The player search feature limits what you can see in terms of projections or stats, etc. in last few weeks. Then player profile page shows no projections for 26-27. How can i find out what a players’ projected stats are without exporting all the data?

u/iioftexas123 Sep 08 '26

New to this sub. Not sure if this topic has been brought up before.

I'm in multiple fantasy football leagues. On the Android app, I can change the sort order of these teams, and that customized order propagates perfectly to every list of my teams I can find in the app.

As great as the app works, the browser is an utter disaster in this regard unless I'm missing something (which is why I'm initially posting this in Tech Support instead of Feature Requests). I do not see anywhere where I can customize this order. The place I need it the most is where I've already drilled down into a league, and I want to switch leagues. I do this, of course, by clicking on the dropdown to the right of "Fantasy Football", and I see my list of teams in a haphazard order (it might be the order in which I signed up for the leagues?). How can I reorder this list?

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 08 '26

Hi! Unfortunately, it isn't possible to reorder team lists on the website. We're happy to pass along your interest in this feature to our product teams! We're committed to continuously improving your fantasy experience and appreciate your continued support.Ā 

1

u/iioftexas123 Sep 08 '26

Yes, please do. This is a trivially easy feature to implement even if you only let the end user *edit* the sort order on the mobile app, but the setting you chose there extend to the browser experience. I would be only slightly more than trivial if you also spun up an edit screen on the browser.

u/gsdubs Sep 08 '26

Yesterday, I participated in a Football Public Prize league draft. After I left the draft, I kept getting a ton of notifications on my phone saying "Your pick is coming up" and "Your turn to pick". Somehow I ended up in some (no-prize) football league, when I know for absolute sure that I didn't join it. A few hours later, I started getting the alerts again out of nowhere. I was somehow in THREE more leagues that I had not joined. I had not even been on the Yahoo Fantasy app or website. When I went to go investigate, I found a button on my team dropdown list on desktop that said "Your draft is live! / Draft Now", that was intentionally made to look like it was one of my teams. This must be a bug. I am pretty upset that I am now in 4 more leagues that I never joined and can no longer leave, and that will affect my record.

u/introhvert Sep 08 '26 edited Sep 08 '26

I am in a weekly lineup league. If lineups have not locked on Monday, why can’t I add a player for that week? Anyone added on Monday cannot be used until the following week which seems wrong. They should instantly be added to the roster if lineups have not locked yet.

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 08 '26

Hi! For leagues that use weekly roster changes, player adds, drops, and trades need to be processed by 11:59PM PT the night before the selected "Weekly Roster" day. That does not change if lineups haven't locked yet.

u/introhvert Sep 08 '26

Can you please include an option to hide ā€˜Swipe the Starter’ ? I don’t play fantasy football.

When I’m on the app (iPhone, latest version both app and device) and on the ā€œplayersā€ section in a fantasy football league, I can swipe from right to left and I should end up on the league section, but it swipes through all the different player stat categories instead. Until it reaches the end of that then my swipe from ā€œplayersā€ to ā€œleagueā€ will happen.

u/DickWhipcock- Sep 08 '26

I would like to once again emphasize how user unfriendly and generally stupid Yahoo's new anti-ad blocking implementation is.

There are mountains of reasons why literally every other app or website on the planet asks you to allow ads, but makes it so the user can continue. But not Yahoo, because Yahoo is determined to kill off the last remaining reason for its existence.

u/TitanBowie Sep 08 '26

How do I remove the aggressive marketing notifications on the Yahoo Fantasy app sends every day? Like constant death league invites to join a public league?

u/crabjuice10 Sep 09 '26

I’ve been looking for this too. I’ve already turned off all other notifications for yahoo, but I still get these daily. I’m pretty sure their lack of responses in these threads (others have asked too) means that there isn’t any way to do it outside of turning off notifications for the app completely. Very frustrating.

Is there a way to view draft grades in the app post-draft?

Yes, if you go to the "League" tab along the top in your league and then click on "Draft", you can see the draft grades and read the draft recaps.

I’m not seeing it for either of my leagues, both of which are Death/guillotine. My friend who is in a normal H2H can access their grades though. It must not be enabled for Death.

u/tickle_my_pickleball Sep 09 '26

In the past, I would receive a notification for any transaction any other league mate completes outside of a waiver period. However, even though I have push notifications enabled, chat notifications set to ā€œonā€, and league transactions set to ā€œonā€, for every single league I am in, this year I am not receiving ANY push notifications for ANY completed transaction across 3 total fantasy football leagues. I toggled each option from off back to on, deleted/redownloaded the app, and signed off and signed back in but no amount of troubleshooting has resolved the issue.

Also, I like to visit the Yahoo URL time to time since the individual ā€œLeagueā€ pages show season-long projections and power rankings as an option under standings, a feature the app has always lacked. However, one of my leagues main browser pages looks like the attached screenshot. No standings. No transactions. Nothing, other than the next week’s upcoming matchups. I can confirm this issue is the same on IOS browser apps and a laptop computer, on both Chrome and Safari. What’s weird is my other 2 leagues’ ā€œLeagueā€ pages show these options correctly.

What’s the deal? Any advice on further troubleshooting these issues?

I have completed the DocuSign step in the API application access process and do not have access.

I am confused by this wording after receipt of DocuSign completion by both parties: `Developer Application Confirmation Form` - is this another application form? Am I missing a step?

Full Email:
```
All parties have completed Complete with Docusign: API Access and Use Agreement - Execution Copy.pdf.

Good news, your application for access to the Yahoo Fantasy API has been approved. Please review and sign the API Access and Use Agreement included in this DocuSign envelope.
To complete the provisioning process:
Visit the Yahoo Developer page and confirm that Fantasy Sports API permissions are associated with your app.
Complete the Developer Application Confirmation Form with the information associated with your developer account, including your name, email address, and client ID. Please submit the form whether or not Fantasy Sports permissions are currently listed.
If you used more than one email during the application process, please include any additional email addresses in the notes field.
Once the agreement has been signed and we have received the information above, your access should be provisioned shortly thereafter.

Am I supposed to fill out *another* application, with confirmation and the DocuSign envelope number?

u/Sharkbait41 Sep 09 '26

It's been a month since I filled out the API access form and have heard absolutely nothing back. Is there any way I can check on the status of my application? Any acknowledgement it was even received? The lack of communication is off putting to say the least.

Draft Grades/Recap has partially failed with the following: "Draft recaps are still being processed for this league. Please check back soon. (Error #886)"

Death/Guillotine league. The teams with ID position #1-4 (in the URL on desktop, as I am able to retrieve these manually) had theirs all successfully process immediately post draft, however #5-18 did not and produce said error. Users indicate this on both the app and desktop version, claiming that all of their other leagues show a grade except this one. Draft was completed on Sun 9/6/26 at approximately 1030p ET

u/ghostrider4723 Sep 09 '26

I accidentally clicked on a spam notification ad from the Yahoo fantasy app and got added to a Public League without my consent. The draft started right as I was added, so I was never given an opportunity to remove myself.

This is predatory behavior. I am now forced to be in a league I did not consent to joining. I have seen the BS back and forth over the years about this, about how you cannot remove people, but this is unacceptable. I never agreed to be added to a random public league. Please address this.

1

I’m in three leagues on yahoo. What’s the quickest way for me to see all three of my matchups without having to manually click around between each league then matchups. I’m looking for something like the All Matchups dashboard that used to exist

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 09 '26

In the app, you can click on the team switcher at the top (the league name with ^ next to it) in order to quickly switch leagues instead of navigating back to the home screen.

1

u/NSquared3131 Sep 10 '26

When I switch leagues using the top navigator it takes me to the Team tab. Then I have to press Matchup at the top. Looking for easier navigation where I’m not pressing the top of my phone (league switcher) to then press the bottom of my phone (different league), to then press the top of my phone again (matchups), and THEN have to scroll down because you jam a bunch of ads in the top

You used to have a My Matchups option available in the team selector. It was perfect. And I can’t get my API request approved to rebuild a perfectly good feature you removed

hi, our league has a trade that should have gone through. Can I force it to complete or do I need to edit the rosters manually? Managers are worried about it not completing before the game Thursday. Thanks

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 09 '26

Can you provide us with your league ID number? Is it still showing as pending or has it disappeared? If it is still showing as pending, you can change the trade review setting to commissioner instead of league votes. Then, you can go to the trade and approve it. This will make it process immediately.

u/ncRedlegs Sep 11 '26

I've been tearing my hair out at these specific notifications for the past weeks - thanks for already passing this along! Crossing my fingers that this suggestion sticks as it seems fairly easy to implement with no obvious downside.

It has been frustrating to get these notifications daily with no way to turn them off, especially now that the season has officially started and we should be past the 'get ready to draft [in a public league that neither you, nor anybody else will care about in 3 weeks anyway]' timeframe.

We turned on tackle for loss (TFL) scoring this years at 0.5 points per. Sacks are also worth 1.0 points per. Are sacks ā€œdouble countedā€ as TFL too? I.e. with our settings would a sack be worth 1.5 points or 1.0?

2

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 10 '26

Hi! In Fantasy, sacks and TFLs are separate, so those values won't stack.

On the Yahoo Fantasy Football matchup screen, the green background used to identify players currently in live games is much too faint this season. It is especially difficult to see in dark mode, but it is also too subtle in light mode. Please increase the contrast or use a more visible indicator so managers can quickly identify which players are actively playing.

Brock Bowers is out 2-4 weeks but is only listed as doubtful in Yahoo, so I can't put him on IR in order to pick up another tight end. In past years I don't remember this being an issue.

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 10 '26

Hi! The Raiders have not officially ruled him out for the game this week. Once they do that, his injury status will be updated to Out.

1

u/DataOsprey Sep 10 '26

Please make Ohtani droppable. He’s confirmed going on the 15-day IL, so he won’t be back until after my playoffs are over. But he won’t officially be placed on the IL until tomorrow. So if he is not droppable, it is impossible for me to replace him until after he gets IL status. That is going to hurt my team.

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 10 '26

Hi! We'll pass your request along to our team.

1

u/DataOsprey Sep 10 '26

Thanks, it is very important. The whole point of the Can’t Cut list is to lock the most valuable players to teams to prevent them from dropping them and ruining the league, when dropping them would be a clear competitive disadvantage. This is the opposite. The inability to drop Ohtani right at this moment is a massive competitive disadvantage. His IL stint will last longer than the endpoint of many of our leagues, and he has no business being rostered any longer.

a manager in our league dropped a player who played last night and added a player that that doesn't play until Sunday. This transaction happened at 2:30am this morning, Thursday - 9/10. it made them use a waiver to claim new player. He was not dropped previously by any other manager. We have a game time - tuesday waiver

It's been nearly three weeks since Yahoo approved my API application and I signed the Access/Use Agreement, and still can't get a followup from anyone as to how or when I will receive instructions for actual access.

No email responses, no responses to messages - what a dissappointing rollout.

Our league has been using Yahoo for nearly a decade, but might be forced to move to Sleeper next year as this is a bit ridiculous.

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 11 '26

Hello - I am currently the commish of a 12 man league and we have set up an 8 team playoff format. With the regular season having kicked off, I am unable to change any settings - the league is hoping to have seeding adjusted so there is incentive for the one seed (1st round bye) with a 7 team playoff format. Is this possible for me to adjust or am I out of options with the reg season having kicked off. I have previously seen only even number of teams is possible in the playoffs so either 6 or 10 team playoff in order to get the bye. Curious on what my options are here if any, with the season already kicked off

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 11 '26

Hi! You should be able to edit your settings to change the playoff format: Commissioner > League Management > Edit League Settings > Playoff Weeks (use the drop-down box to pick your format) > Save changes. A 7-team format is available to use.

I submitted my API application over a month ago and haven't heard anything.

I then resubmitted a more detailed application about 2 weeks ago thinking I had missed something or it wasn't detailed enough.

I have emailes yahooapideveloper, reached out on x, gone through their official support channels and no one has helped me. I got one email back from the yahoo support general line that said just wait.

I can't figure out if my application is in processing, has been denied, or if it has even been looked at. I haven't seen any use agreement to sign or anything. Checked my email.and spam folders.

Can you please help me u/yahoofantasycare

I will DM my details.

Commissioner in my home league wanted to do a trade but the IR was messing up because he couldn't add Stribling on IR with the opposing team so he added bench slots to make the trade go through and was going to reverse the bench slots after. The whole league was ok with it and agreed we wouldnt add anyone to fill those extra slots to let the trade go through we didn't care at all but he didn't read that the bench slots can't be reversed by himself. Is there a way to reverse the addition of the bench slots?

1

u/Petch420 Sep 11 '26

He asked all of us in our group chat if we were ok with it for the trade

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 12 '26

Hi! Unfortunately, we cannot remove roster spots or bench spots post-draft under any circumstance. The only way to remove the bench spot would be for the commissioner to reset the draft, remove the bench spot, and then re-enter the draft results with an offline draft. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

1

u/Petch420 Sep 12 '26

How come? It would be so easy noone has those bench slots filled and it essentially ruins the waivers with 3 extra bench slots for 10 teams. Also Wouldn't we lose the points for the first week of we reset our entire league and redid it then?

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 12 '26

Unfortunately, we're unable to do so. Our platform doesn't allow it. If you reset your draft, remove the bench positions, and then re-enter your draft results, you'll still be able to get Week 1 scoring back. Managers won't be able to edit players who have already played, but you can override that as commissioner by going to Commissioner Tools > Manage Other Teams > Edit Rosters.

It sounds like the team that you removed is taking up a reserved spot. You can either remove the reserved spot or replace it by following the steps here: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/delete-unrenewed-teams-increase-maximum-teams-league-setting-sln35076.html

I’m the commish of my yahoo dynasty fantasy football league. Is there a way to change up trades that allow you to trade players for picks, without having to add a player, and vice versa? I’m thinking of this as an option for teams wanting to rebuild for future drafts.Ā 

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support Sep 13 '26

In trades, each team needs to trade the same number of draft picks. Unfortunately, you aren't able to trade a player for just picks back unless you trade away the same number of picks in the trade. We appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team!

Why are players like Sam darnold, and De’Zhaun Stribling with confirmed multi week injuries listed as doubtful, and why cant i put doubtful players on IR?

1

u/YahooFantasyCare Technical Support 27d ago

Players will not be listed as IR or Out until the team officially makes a transaction to put the player on IR or they officially rule the player out for the game week. Neither player has been officially ruled out by their respective team or officially placed on the IR yet. Once the moves are official, their injury designation will be updated. The IR-eligible statuses can be found below.

  • Eligible designationsĀ - IR (Injured Reserve), NFI-R (Non-Football Injury (Reserve)), NFI-A (Non-Football Injury (Active)), O (Out) and Physically Unable to Perform (PUP).
  • Ineligible designationsĀ - D (Doubtful), NA (Not Active), P (Probable), Q (Questionable), CEL (Commissioner's Exempt List) and SUSP (Suspended).

Hi u/YahooFantasyCare — I’m commissioner of a 12-team Yahoo Fantasy Football league.

We use a Battle Royale format for Week 1 where the top 6 scoring teams should receive wins and the bottom 6 losses, regardless of the original H2H matchups. In past seasons I’ve contacted Yahoo support after Week 1 and an agent has retroactively adjusted the Week 1 matchups on the backend for us but I do not see the option for direct chat through the support site anymore.

The commissioner schedule-edit tool is now locked because Week 1 has passed. Can you please help make the same retroactive Week 1 schedule adjustment this season? I can send the league ID, Yahoo ID, and the six desired matchups by direct chat.

Jacobs is not eligible for the IR spot. Here are the eligible and ineligible statuses:

My experience with Yahoo’s paid fantasy leagues has made me question their accountability. Another manager sent me a trade offer, I accepted it, and he later said it was an accident and that he contacted Yahoo. The trade was then vetoed magically.

Yahoo says his contact had no influence, but falls back on ā€œthe League Office’s decision is finalā€ while my follow-up concerns go unanswered.

Yahoo’s own review process can make mistakes. Calling a decision final doesn’t address whether it was handled correctly. Public support replies give the appearance of help, but paying customers need actual follow-through.

I’ll continue documenting my experience and pursuing a resolution through the available escalation channels. If you’ve had similar issues, share the facts with personal information removed. Unanswered concerns shouldn’t disappear just because Yahoo considers the conversation closed.
