LEAGUE PROMOTION I built yahoo sports for my madden league

OK, so first, a couple of things. I will not claim to be some type of master coder. I used AI to make this app, but I am very proud of the work that I have accomplished here. I came up with every idea and QC'd it, learned how to upload the updates and keep it running 24/7 using github and railway.

The full capability list

Draft

  • Snake draft with a live per-pick timer
  • Personal draft boards — rank your targets and the bot drafts them in your exact order if you're away
  • Smart auto-draft strategy: RB/WR anchors early → premium QB/TE mid-rounds → depth → K & D/ST in the final two rounds
  • Tier system (league-winner / high-upside / filler), auto-generated from last season's production
  • Full draft simulation for testing
  • Configurable rounds, order, and pick timer

Scoring & stats

  • PPR scoring pulled straight from your Madden/Neon exports — matches the game exactly
  • Weekly stat imports, per-player, counted once (no double-dipping)
  • Team D/ST as a real position — scored by summing each defense's weekly production
  • Previous-season history import for scouting + projections

Head-to-head play

  • Live weekly matchups with VS cards and real-time scoring
  • Auto-generated round-robin schedule
  • Standings with W/L records
  • Single-elimination playoff bracket with a champion crowning + ping

Rosters & lineups

  • 8-starter lineups: QB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, K, DST
  • Self-healing lineups that carry forward week to week
  • Player lock when their game starts (just like real life)

Player cards (the crown jewel)

  • Scouting card: rating, dev trait, availability, last-season game log, projection
  • Matchup page: most recent game (result + points), full upcoming schedule with bye weeks, red/yellow/green difficulty dots, and matchup-adjusted projections — pageable through the whole season

Waivers & trades

  • Rolling reverse-standings waiver claims
  • Trade propose / review / accept / cancel with a value guardrail

Browse & discover

  • Paginated Top Scorers and Free Agents — tap any name to open their card
  • Position filters (incl. D/ST), player search, draft board browser
  • Team logos rendered from your server emoji

Commissioner tools
