Orphan teams Fantasy Football: open spots
An orphan team is a roster whose previous owner stopped managing it, active or inactive, mid-season or between them. The commissioner needs someone to take over what is already built, for better or worse. Ask about the roster's recent history before you commit.

Questions
- What should I ask before taking over an orphan team?
- Ask how the previous owner left the roster, what the league's rules are, and whether dues are current.
- How do I join a listing here?
- Use Ask to join on any listing. Your note goes to the commissioner by email, and they decide whether to bring you in.
- Who holds the buy-in money?
- Buy-in custody for a orphan team listing is between the commissioner and the manager, not the board. Confirm how dues are collected before you pay anything.
- Why did a listing disappear from the board?
- Listings auto-hide once a league fills, its draft passes, or the season ends. Nothing lingers past its useful window.
- Does the board vet these leagues?
- No. Listings are not vetted, paid or free. Ask the commissioner your own questions before you commit.
