Death Leagues are back, with new name and a new look
Key Points:
- Yahoo Fantasy introduces Death Leagues, a survival-style format where the lowest-scoring team is eliminated weekly until one team remains the winner.
- Standings have been revamped to highlight team status—Death Watch (lowest projected score), At Risk, and Safe—along with current and projected points, season totals, and FAB remaining.
- New push notifications alert managers immediately when their team falls to last place or escapes elimination, removing the need for constant standings refreshes.
- The Can't Cut List is disabled by default to increase strategic waiver pickups, though commissioners can enable it in private leagues.
- Players can join public Death Leagues or create private ones, with weekly eliminations releasing players onto waivers for remaining teams to claim.
