Ten Yards
Season update. Drafts are moving: Ten Yards is pushing its 2026 drafts back to just before the NFL season kicks off. Every seat and every dollar in LeagueSafe stays exactly where it is — nothing is lost, nothing changes except the date. New draft times will be posted here and in each league's chat.

2026 season · Sleeper · 12-team Full PPR

Real leagues. Published bylaws. My fee never goes above $50.

Twelve-team full-PPR fantasy football, drafted live on Sleeper, run to rules published before you join. Third place gets their buy-in back. Second place makes 3 times theirs. First place takes the rest. Every league below shows its prizes, its seats and its draft time before you put a dollar in.

Open leagues

Seat counts come live from Sleeper. A league with no seat count hasn't opened yet — I don't guess at them.

Prizes by rule in every league — 2nd 3x · 3rd your buy-in back, 1st takes the rest. Buy-in is what goes into the pot. There is no separate signup fee, no card fee, and no charge to leave.

Also run on request at $200, $250 — same format, same prize rules. Every buy-in and what it pays →

The format, and it doesn't change

Every league at $100 and above runs this exact setup. Same roster, same scoring, every time — so once you've played one, you already know what the next one is.

Starters

  • 1 QB
  • 2 RB
  • 2 WR
  • 1 TE
  • 2 FLEX

FLEX is RB / WR / TE. 6 bench, 1 IR.

Scoring

  • Full PPR
  • 4 points per passing touchdown
  • No kicker
  • No defense

Season

  • Redraft, 12 teams
  • Snake, scheduled and live
  • FAAB $100, clearing Wednesday overnight
  • Trades close end of NFL Week 11

Every league at $100 and above runs this exact format — same roster, same scoring, every time. Leagues under $100 can vary, and any difference is shown on that league before you join.

How it works

  1. You join the league on Sleeper

    Free. Sleeper is the app the league actually runs in — drafting, lineups, waivers, trades, chat.

  2. You pay the buy-in into LeagueSafe

    Not to me. Every pot is held by LeagueSafe on majority-approval payout, which means the commissioner cannot move the money alone — the league votes to release it. I submit the exact printed figures to LeagueSafe within 48 hours of the final game — the only payout I will ever submit — and it goes out as soon as the majority approves, normally inside a week.

  3. We draft live, on a scheduled date

    Snake draft, order randomised on the call beforehand. No instant drafts — you get a real draft night with a human running it.

  4. I run the season

    FAAB $100, clearing Wednesday overnight. Trade deadline end of NFL Week 11. Weeks 15–17, top 6, top-2 byes. Disputes get a written ruling in league chat — and any dispute involving my own team is decided without me.

  5. The league votes to release the pot

    Top 3 finishers get paid the exact figures printed above. I submit that payout to LeagueSafe within 48 hours of the final game, and it goes out as soon as the league approves it.

The longer version, step by step →

What the fee actually is

Here is the whole arithmetic for a $200 league. Nothing is hidden behind it.

12 managers pay $200 each$2,400
1st place− $1,550
2nd place — 3× buy-in− $600
3rd place — your buy-in back− $200
What I keep for running it$50

That is 2.1% of the money in the league, and it is the entire fee. It is also capped: $50 is the most I take from any league at any buy-in, so on the $250 league the fee is still $50 and the extra goes to first place instead. I play in 4 of the 4 open leagues myself, at the same buy-in everyone else pays — never a free seat. Each league's page says whether I'm in that one.

After one of the leagues above? Say which league and you'll be told when it opens and again as it fills — that's what the "Get told" button in the lobby means.

Want a buy-in that isn't listed?

Leagues run at $50, $100, $125, $150, $175, $200, $250. The ones above are open now; the rest open when enough people want them. Say which and you'll be told when it fills.
