We're here to explain.
How to join, draft, score, make trades and avoid common mistakes—without needing to know fantasy football already.
Frequently asked questions
01Can keepers cost their original draft round?+
Yes. Keeper commissioners can opt into original-round draft costs in a snake keeper league before nominations. Players without a recorded league draft pick cost the final round, and two keepers on the same franchise cannot consume the same selection. Earlier-round protection remains the default.
02Are the 2027 dynasty draft rookies verified?+
Not yet. The available nflverse roster file has an explicit rookie_year field for the 2026 class, which the rookie scouting board matches to real player IDs. Until a 2027 source is imported, the 2027 supplemental pool is not labeled rookie-only.
03Can I import rosters from another fantasy platform without redrafting?+
Yes. Register every franchise owner in a new, empty, snake-format redraft league, configure roster sizes, then use Existing Roster Migration to import a commissioner-supplied CSV. It maps exact player identities and starts the season without invented draft picks. Automatic ESPN account access is not available.
04Can I bring in previous seasons from my old fantasy league?+
Yes. A commissioner can import completed historical standings through a validated CSV into a separate legacy archive. It is not an automated ESPN data import and never changes current league scores or rosters.
05Can I browse public leagues?+
Yes. Open Find leagues to see recruiting leagues whose commissioner explicitly enabled public discovery. All other leagues continue to require their private invitation code.
06Can a team have co-managers?+
Yes. The franchise owner can invite up to two already registered accounts, which must accept in Team invitations. The owner can revoke access, and commissioner settings are not delegated.
07Can I see a complete fantasy schedule?+
Yes. Inside any league, open Schedule to browse every configured regular-season week, bye week and verified score, or export the schedule.
08Can everyone see waiver bids or trade offers?+
No. The Activity feed shows completed picks and roster transactions, not sealed waiver bids or pending trade offers.
09Is the platform ready for real-money contests?+
No. There are no paid entry fees, cash prizes or wagering features. Payment processing and any legally required approvals would need separate implementation and review.
10Can I join a friend’s private league?+
Create an account, open Join a League, enter the eight-character invitation code, then pick a franchise name. Your commissioner must still have an open team slot.
11What is a snake draft?+
The first round goes from the first manager to the last. Round two reverses direction. Managers repeat this pattern for the configured number of rounds.
12What happens if someone misses a draft pick?+
Timed snake drafts can use the manager’s ranked draft queue for an automatic pick. If the queue has no available candidates, position-aware fallback selection is used.
13Can I run an auction?+
Yes. An auction draft uses fictional budget credits and timed player nominations. It is a different draft format from a snake draft.
14What are FAAB credits?+
Free Agent Acquisition Budget is fictional league currency used to bid on waiver players. It is not money and cannot be cashed out.
15Can I follow NFL game scores?+
Yes. Open NFL scores or an NFL Game Center for source-backed game snapshots, quarter scores and live play-by-play when the provider supplies it. Source events can still be delayed or corrected.
16Are NFL player scores live?+
Supported offensive starters can receive provisional live Gamecast points from licensed NFL game statistics during active games. Corrected weekly provider data remains the settlement source, so provisional points can change before a week is finalized.
17Does the research lab predict injuries?+
No. Historical-form estimates are weighted past averages and do not know future availability, injuries, or opposing-defense performance.
18Can commissioners change rules in the middle of a season?+
Some structural settings lock at the draft or season boundary, while supported League Manager controls remain editable later. Falcons audits midseason scoring, waiver, trade, schedule and other allowed changes and protects frozen results where required.
19How do I set a lineup?+
Once the league reaches the season, open Matchups and choose starters by position. Real-player starters lock at their scheduled NFL kickoff; old recorded results cannot be rewritten. Use the private Lineup Readiness screen to inspect full position coverage, recorded injury statuses, IR conflicts and confirmed kickoff times.
20Can I play on a phone?+
Yes. Falcons is an installable mobile web app with responsive league pages, background Web Push and a safe offline shell. Private league data is not cached for offline viewing.
21What is a dynasty league?+
A dynasty league keeps every manager and their roster across seasons. It begins with a larger real-player draft, then uses three-round annual supplemental drafts and optional pick-for-pick trades. Commissioners choose all available players or verified rookies from the matching year; a missing rookie class must be imported before that draft can open. Managers trim back to the regular roster cap before each new season.
22How are dynasty draft picks allocated?+
After a full season and championship are recorded, the commissioner archives the year. The team with the worst completed regular-season record gets the first supplemental selection each round; trades may change who owns a pick.
23Can managers vote on league issues?+
Yes. Commissioners can publish time-limited, advisory polls. Each member gets one current vote and can change it while voting remains open. Polls do not automatically alter league rules.
24Can I message just my weekly opponent?+
Yes. Each scheduled head-to-head matchup has a private conversation accessible only to the two participating managers; league clubhouse chat remains separate.
25Can a keeper league run across years?+
Yes. Eligible completed keeper leagues can archive a season, protect the agreed number of players, and begin the next season with reserved draft picks.
26Are NFL logos and photographs included?+
No official NFL team graphics or player photographs are supplied by this independent preproduction platform.
27How do I get help with a problem?+
See the support page. Signed-in users can save a support request to the on-site tracking system. Automated delivery to an external support team is not configured yet.
