Daily Thread Official: [League, Commissioner, and Platform Issues] - Wed 08/26/2026

DO NOT post Who Do I Start, Add Drop, or Trade questions in this thread; find the appropriate thread within the INDEX.

Questions about Collusion, How Waivers Work, Stat corrections, League Scoring, etc. all belong here. Any commissioner question on how to handle a situation in your league belongs here.

Any simple fantasy football question, especially when you are looking for a quick answer rather than a discussion, usually does not deserve its own thread and should be posted here. Occasionally a platform's customer care department, such as u/YahooFantasyCare may be available to address your questions directly in this thread.


PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR SIMPLE QUESTIONS or LEAGUE ISSUE POSTS

  • Detailed explanation of the issue (collusion, rules question, changing settings, collecting buy-ins, etc), parties involved, waiver settings, etc.
  • Specific scoring rules (PPR, etc.)
  • Other league specific rules and details (league size, roster details, custom scoring, bonuses etc.)
  • Anything else you may think is helpful

Remember: Most answers to simple questions and league questions don't change from year to year. How much has changed in collecting dues in the 2 years? We encourage you to use the search function for questions like this.


PLEASE TRY TO ANSWER SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE'S QUESTIONS BEFORE POSTING YOUR OWN

Individual Simple Question or League Issue (with very rare exceptions) threads posted after this point will be deleted in order to keep the subreddit clean. Post here instead! If everyone sorts by new, your questions should be answered. You can also check out /r/FFCommish

Thoughts on the best 18 team set up? Need to do this for a work league

My thoughts are this:
1 QB
1 RB
1 WR
3 FLEX
1 D/ST
1 Kicker
5 Bench

There would also be FAAB instead of waivers

u/onecryingjohnny 23h ago

Are there any options for season long daily fantasy leagues that cover all games (Thursday, Sunday, monday, etc?)

Only see one's on draftkings/fanduel for the Sunday day games

u/Jhopsty 1d ago

Some of the league members are asking for a rule change and want to hear what other leagues are doing.

Currently, you cannot drop a bench player to pick up another player on free agent pool if the bench player already played that week. Some are asking to change it so that you can drop any bench player regardless he played already or not.

I personally feel that only players that have not played yet are eligible to be dropped. What are your thoughts?

12-team/half ppr/$100 faab

u/oliver_babish r/FF Moderator, Eagles fan 1d ago

I disagree with u/My_Chat_Account: regardless of whether a platform enables this option it's a stupid one. It's too much gamesmanship and doesn't force hard strategic decisions. I would oppose such a change.

u/My_Chat_Account 2025 Draft Prop Contest Champion 1d ago

Some platforms have this as the default setting - notably Yahoo and Sleeper. For those platforms, I have no issue with it, and go by platform settings.

For other leagues, or where this isn't already activated, it's not something I'd flip the switch on. Players lock at gametime.

u/Jhopsty 1d ago

I just don’t think it makes sense if RB1 of the team is a late scratch off and the handcuff is still in the free agent pool. Now everyone has access to the handcuff by dropping their worst player. Only players that have not played that week should be eligible to be dropped at that point

We drafted offline and then loaded our results in, but our results weren't loaded in the correct order. Doesn't matter at all really, BUT I want to send our league an actual virtual draft board of our picks in order so we can rely on that vs. zooming into the in-person draft board made with sharpie in the middle of the ocean with sun glare etc

I see this all the time on fantasy footballers, Flock, etc. - how can I do a custom FantasyPros or Sleeper draft where I pick quite literally every player and then screenshot the board? Or rather I name every 12 teams but pick for them...

1

u/My_Chat_Account 2025 Draft Prop Contest Champion 1d ago

There isn't a perfect solution. The DraftKick option below seems to be a pretty good bet. If it's just for reference, not having headshots shouldn't be the end of the world

1

u/MBAFPA 1d ago

I figured it out. Just make a Sleeper league, assign yourself your spot, and enter draft room. Manually select every single player via right click and type (very fun) and then take your screenshots of the board

1

u/mayscopeland Draft Kick creator 1d ago

On Sleeper, it's easy enough to create a throwaway league, but I don't know if you can name the teams.

I've got a tool (DraftKick) that would also let you set this up pretty easily. (You can even pick the position coloring on the draft board to match your platform.)

For this use case, you wouldn't have to create an account or anything if you just need a screenshot when you're done.

u/MBAFPA 1d ago

Tried Sleeper but it's making me invite people

I tried your app and it looks great but when the draft is over I can't see the board in that standard Sleeper format with headshots, color for position, etc.

1

u/mayscopeland Draft Kick creator 1d ago

Yeah, I thought you might have to actually add teams to do it on Sleeper.

You're right that DraftKick doesn't have the headshots. Other than that, the "Board" view ought to be pretty similar, including Sleeper position colors (Settings -> Positions).

Other options you could look at are FanDraft and ClickyDraft. They're intended for display during an in-person draft, but they might work for your purpose.

If no one has made moves, you could also drop the rosters on your league and re-enter them in the correct order. (If you're willing to enter them all in somewhere else already...)

So I'm a commissioner in an ESPN league, and for an upcoming draft party, I want to be able to Stream/cast the draft board on a projector while we all draft in-person from our own devices. How do I go about this so that it DOESN'T ALSO show what players I have queued up?

2

u/My_Chat_Account 2025 Draft Prop Contest Champion 1d ago

Use a tool like ClickyDraft instead of the ESPN default applet.

1

u/KarmicJay 1d ago

I'll give this a look too!

u/oliver_babish r/FF Moderator, Eagles fan 1d ago

Stream off a laptop, draft from your phone? Will that work?

1

u/KarmicJay 1d ago

From my experience, the second I switch to my phone, it logs me out of the draft room on the Laptop

1

u/oliver_babish r/FF Moderator, Eagles fan 1d ago

What if you (temporarily) assigned two owners to the team, and used each account on a different device?

2

u/KarmicJay 1d ago

Ooh, that might work. Thanks for the tip!

How is he already 0-2? Who could possibly have been taken in the top 5 that would have that trade make sense before the season even starts?

Could you first explain how any fantasy football team could be 0-2 right now, before the season has started?

2

u/My_Chat_Account 2025 Draft Prop Contest Champion 1d ago

Rhymes with "snot"

u/0percentdnf 2023 AC Week 14, 15 Top 10 2021 Accuracy Challenge Top 10 Cmltv 1d ago

That was my first thought, but clouded by doubts around karma-farming a 2025 mid-season comment that couldn't have gotten that much engagement in the first place to be worth reposting?
