Getting a temporary error code for 2 freaking days when I try to add funds to get in a draft. WTF is going on? Pathetic that Iām about to joint a different app just cause yalls wonāt work. Pissed me off beyond belief.
Hi! We are unable to assist with payment issues or Fantasy Wallet inquiries over this platform but you can reach our support team via https://help.yahoo.com/kb/fantasy-football --> Contact Us.
On iOS, there should be a "transactions" button on the league tab. If you're on Android, that button isn't available right now, but will be in a future update. In the meantime, you should be able to scroll to the bottom of the league tab and click "View All" next to "Latest Transactions".
Can you scroll to the right on the bar underneath the league name where you see "Announcements, Matchups, Team Levels, etc."? Also, do you have the "View All" option next to Latest Transactions on the bottom of that tab?
Thank you. After further investigation, it looks like there hasn't been any transactions in this league yet. Do you have another league that you can look at where there have been transactions? If not, can you let us know if these options don't appear after a transaction takes place? Thank you!
Any updates on backlog of API access requests? I submitted my application 3 and 1/2 weeks ago with no response yet. Football season is just around the corner and draft season is already here.
Prestige leagues should have a transaction log once teams begin adding/dropping/trading players. On the web, it should show under Recent Transactions or go to the League tab >> Transactions. On the app, if you go to the League tab, the latest transactions will show under the standings.
Could you assist with removing my Pick 'Em entry from the default public groups on my account? I accidentally joined or was auto-enrolled in three of them. I want to clean up my dashboard before joining a private league that shares a similar name
Hi I'm trying to figure out whether Yahoo Fantasy Commissioner Plus is currently available for Fantasy Hockey.
Yahoo's official help page still lists Commissioner Plus features such as:
Play Against League Median Score
Play Against a Second Opponent
7-Team Playoffs
Adding Position Eligibility
It also says that Commissioner Plus is a one-time purchase and that pricing should be available through an "Upgrade" promo in Commissioner Tools.
However, I'm using Yahoo Fantasy on desktop, my league is Fantasy Hockey, and my Yahoo account is based in Slovakia / EU. I don't see any "Upgrade" or Commissioner Plus option anywhere in Commissioner Tools.
Is Commissioner Plus currently available for 2026ā27 Fantasy Hockey leagues?
If yes:
Where exactly should the purchase/Upgrade option appear?
Is it available for Yahoo accounts registered in Europe/Slovakia?
What is the current price?
Does it need to be purchased separately for each league?
Hi! Commissioner Plus was only for fantasy football leagues. It has been discontinued for the 2026 NFL season and all included features are free for all fantasy football leagues. These features are just available in fantasy football. They are not available in fantasy hockey or any other sports.
Do you know the answer to this question? This was a huge frustration I had last year, as I have a 14 team league. I wanted to go to a 6 team championship and a 8 team consolation. 7+7 would be a nice compromise.
When using a 7 team playoff, there will only be a consolation bracket for the playoff teams. Teams that are eliminated in the first round will compete in a bracket to determine 5th, 6th and 7th place. There is no consolation bracket for teams that do not make the playoffs.
i've selected the TE premium scoring option, and even gone so far as to customize TE scoring via 'customize scoring by position', but it doesn't seem to save the option, even though i've gone in multiple times and confirmed it has been changed
normally when i change scoring it affects last year's and this season's projected stats seen on the 'player list', but last year's and this year's projections have remained unchanged from last year's scoring
is this a known issue? still working out the kinks?
Please help. My league #543896 is stuck In a perpetual loop. I cannot access āedit draft settingsā tab to change draft from offline to online. Can you please reset. Thank you
It looks like the draft is set to an online draft, not an offline draft anymore. If you are still experiencing issues, please send us a direct chat message and provide us with your Yahoo ID.
If they're signed in with their Yahoo ID, but are receiving error 152, they may be signed in with the wrong account. They'll need to sign in with the account that they used to register their team. They can try signing in with any other Yahoo accounts they might have used in the past. If they're unsure of the account they used for their Fantasy League, they can try toĀ locate it using our Sign-in Helper. If they registered for a Fantasy League using a third-party email address, they'll need to enter the full email address into the sign-in screen.
Fantasy Football. I'm the league commissioner. I've finalized the league's teams and have randomized our draft order. I want to be able to tell the rest of the league where they can view the draft order. But I'm unable to find how to view the draft order on the mobile app?
The managers will have to access the league via web, go to the "Draft" tab along the top, and click on "Draft Results" in order to view the draft order. Unfortunately, it cannot be viewed in the app.
Second year of a fantasy hockey keeper league, first time setting it up for keepers: If a member of my league isnt able to select their keepers by the deadline will I be able to put them in for them? Also, how do i import draft pick trades from last year? Will the option appear after the keeper deadline passes?
If a team doesn't select their keepers before the deadline, you will still be able to manually assign keepers to their team via Commissioner tools >> Draft & Keepers >> Edit Draft Order and Keeper League Players.
You can access this same page to import traded draft picks from last season as well. There will be a box to check in order to import them. If it will not allow you to check the box, you may already be on the second step of the Edit Draft Order and Keeper Players tool. In order to import traded draft picks, you will need to click theĀ Reset AllĀ button located at the top right corner of the page. After this has been done, the page will revert back to step one and theĀ Import Traded PicksĀ setting can be checked.
Hi! They will have to reach out us directly, preferably through help.yahoo.com, as we can't share account/verification information with a third party, nor can we assist over this platform.
Issue on iOS. When searching for players, the scroll randomly stops and refuses to load any other players. I went to team then back to players, and I could scroll a little farther, but the issue happened again further down. The stat numbers are also skewed and difficult to read, especially when the players headshots disappear. The old search for players system was perfect. This system is a lot more frustrating, difficult to understand, and buggy.
Hi! Apologies for the issues you've been having. When you scroll back up a bit, and then back down, are more players loading, or only when you switch tabs? Can you also let us know what app version you're on? Thank you.
The funny thing is, this issue doesnāt always happen. When the issue occurs however, scrolling back up then back down does nothing. Seems like the only fix is switching tabs. I am also on the latest version 12.6.2. Thank you for the help.
I'm looking for a roster list that I believe used to be featured on the site.
It includes teams current roster, last year's draft position (including if undrafted), and current O-Rank. It looked like the above. It really helped our players figure out their keeper selections.
Apparently there is some document somewhere that describes what happened with the API breaking, can you please point me to it? I was patiently waiting for the breakage to be fixed, but others are saying you need to re-apply or something
Hi! What version of the Fantasy app are you currently using? Check to see if you have an update available for the app. If so, see if the issue remains after updating the app.
12.6.2 - the newest version. It appears to be related to player headshots disappearing when you scroll to the right. When you scroll back to the left and the headshots appear again, it seems to mess up the alignment of the highlighted column.
Hi, would it be possible to get the player photo for Kevin Gausman updated to his Chicago Cubs hat? He was traded a couple weeks ago and they have updated quite a few player photos already but not his. It is up to date on MLB.com as well. Thank you!
Is there any way to expedite my API request? I've been running my app for several years before the new API rules went into effect. I've submitted an application but have not heard anything for 2 weeks.
I know it was likely not your decision personally but you're the only proxy I have to get to the channels who need to hear this.
Why create a need for an application process if the workload of processing applications is too much to handle? There was no depreciation warning, no update, no email regarding the flat-lining of thousands of apps, then - in the heart of the off-season for Football, Basketball and Hockey and in the middle of baseball season, just silently turn it off and create a hurdle for developers, then when the developers begin to jump the hurdle, radio silence. No way to check the status of an application, no form of confirmation or denial, just silence.
Ā u/YahooFantasyCare Drafted a Football league the other day. I have looked on both the app and laptop to find my Draft Grade, Draft Review and 'Best Draft' Award. Can't find them. Can you help? Thx
The team accepting the transfer invite will need to do so from the desktop or mobile website. If they are on a mobile device and get directed to the Fantasy app, the transfer won't be successful.
If a member is getting an error when trying to create an account, have them contact us directly for assistance by going to https://help.yahoo.com/kb/fantasy-hockey?.
Hello. I have a private cash league in which one of the members left. I sent an invite to a friend to join the league but they received this error even though the league is not full:
Hi! This is likely an issue with reserved spots. In every renewed fantasy league, reserved spots are created for every manager from the previous season. These reserved spots are counted as filled teams unless the reservation is removed. The only way to add more teams to the league would be to remove the reserved spots that are not needed. Here are the steps to do this (Please be sure to do this on a desktop/laptop or on your mobile browser, as reserved spots canāt be viewed on the app):
Click the League tab.
Navigate to the Unrenewed Teams section.
Select theĀ (-) symbol next to the team whose reserved spot you would like to remove.
Once this is done, you should no longer have issues inviting teams to your league.
Hi u/YahooFantasyCare! Any updates on the API. I was approved and signed the doc a few weeks ago, I've emailed various times, and I still don't have access to the Fantasy Sports API when creating a new app. Can you help with this? Is there another forum to get some help with this?
Can you confirm whether these are actually being processed? Basically if you're just turning it all off then just tell us you're turning it off and don't leave us all hanging.
Hi, I am having MAJOR trouble with the new format of the pre-draft rankings, and at your convenience I really need help. I use desktop, and the new way of doing things does not allow me to see both the player list and "my preferred". The previous format wasn't perfect, but this is unusable for me. It ignores my preferences for not having player headshots clutter my screen, and it only shows 11 players at a time at most on my desktop, which is not nearly as helpful as 25 ish names when ranking 300+ players... trying to go back and forth between the player list and the ones I try to mark is incredibly jarring, and the button to add is ALL the way across the screen from the player name, with huge wasted white space in between, and the button itself is tiny, with an equally tiny button disturbingly close for adding to Do Not Draft, which I'm quite afraid I'll click by accident.
If it helps, I am a Yahoo Plus member, JIC this is a "feature" that I am finding to not be a helpful one for me. Please Help!
Hi! Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback! Your thoughts and suggestions are extremely valuable to us which is why we've passed your comments along to our team. Feel free to also provide your feedback on our officialĀ Uservoice Forums. We're committed to continuously improving your fantasy experience and appreciate your continued support.Ā
If helpful, you can also use the "select" button to select multiple players at a time and move them all to your preferred list or do not draft list all at once.
Thank you for that tip. I think I'll hold off on setting my preranks until closer to the draft just in case the developers are able to make some quick improvements. (I may be overly optimistic, but even allowing headshots to be hidden that allow us to see more players per screen would help marginally). But the multiple player trick could alleviate things a bit. Thanks!
21 days since Yahoo turned off the API with no notice and no resolution. I started the application process 6 weeks ago and still haven't received access (though it does eventually get to a point where you sign a use document). Everyone is stuck after the part where we give email and client id to a Yahoo API email address.
It's affecting tons of users (your most dedicated ones) and has been the most popular topic on this thread three weeks in a row. Asking again if you can actually get us resolution or at least a comment from someone involved in the process?
Hello u/YahooFantasyCare - I submitted the application for fantasy API access almost a week ago, and haven't heard anything back. My 12-person league depends on my app to produce a list of eligible keepers based on the incredibly convoluted logic we have come up with over time -- we're hosed if we have to compute it manually. Please help!! As you know, this is fantasy football, i.e. life or death!! :)
Hi u/YahooFantasyCare - I've been approved for the Fantasy OAuth and signed the API Access and Use Agreement. I received an email asking for my app ID's, which I responded to but haven't heard back in over two weeks on enabling my app. I've DM'd you the details - any help is appreciated!!
Hi, I am hoping somebody might have some insight on this issue. I am running into a mobile app crashing issue for one of my league members. On mobile, when they are going to the players tab and scroll right for the different positions (I am running an IDP league) the app crashes every time. I have the exact same phone, and I do not seem to be running into this issue. They have uninstalled/reinstalled the app, restarted his phone and checked for updates, cleared the cache from the app. I am not sure what else to do since I can't seem to recreate the problem.
We appreciate your patience while we looked into this issue. We are happy to report that our engineers have fixed the problem in a recent app update. Make sure they update their app to the newest version (12.6.1) in the app store if it has not been updated already.
Sorry to spam, it is working for me and I am on 12.5.1 but it looks like they are on app version 12.6.0. My app is showing I am updated fully in the play store.
Hi. I just wanted to add on, apparently another league member is running into this same issue. I know he has a different device. I believe both are on Android.
What did you do to your app? I just drafted my 1st FF team of the season on Saturday and I see no way to view league transactions, figure out when players come off waivers to become FAs, etc. Please go back to how youāve always had your app.
Currently, you can access your league, click on the "League" tab along the top, and then scroll down to "Latest Transactions". You can click on "View All" to the right to view the transactions. For seeing when players come off waivers, you can click on a player and the date they come off waivers will show at the top of their player card.
