Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Dynasty Desk and dynasty fantasy football.
What is dynasty fantasy football?
In dynasty fantasy football, your roster persists from season to season — you keep every player you draft or acquire, just like an NFL franchise. Each year you add incoming NFL rookies through a rookie draft. Unlike redraft leagues that reset every August, dynasty is a long-term game where your roster decisions today shape your competitiveness for years.
What makes Dynasty Desk different from ESPN or Sleeper?
ESPN and Sleeper are general-purpose platforms built for redraft leagues. They don't support multi-year contracts, salary cap management, dead cap tracking, RFA designations, or franchise tags — the core mechanics of a serious dynasty league. Dynasty Desk was built specifically for dynasty with salary caps, so these features are first-class, not bolted-on workarounds.
How does the salary cap work in Dynasty Desk?
Every player on your roster has a contract with a salary cap charge. Your team has a maximum total cap (configured by the commissioner, typically $500–$1,000). All trades, waiver claims, and signings are validated against your available cap space in real time. When you release a player with years left on their contract, a dead cap penalty is applied automatically.
Can I join a dynasty league without knowing a group of people?
Yes — that's what Open Leagues are for. Commissioners publish open leagues with a set number of spots. Solo GMs pay $25 to claim a spot and join a fully-managed dynasty league without needing an invite. League decisions are made democratically by majority GM vote, so no single person controls the experience.
What is an RFA designation in dynasty fantasy football?
RFA stands for Restricted Free Agent. When a player's contract expires, instead of immediately entering the FA auction, the holding team can designate them as an RFA. This gives the original team a matching right — if another GM bids on the player in the auction, the original team can match the offer and retain them. Each team typically gets 1–2 designations per offseason.
Does Dynasty Desk work with Sleeper?
Yes. Dynasty Desk pulls live weekly scoring from the Sleeper API, so your matchup scores, stats, and standings update automatically every game day without any manual entry. Your dynasty management (contracts, cap, trades) lives in Dynasty Desk; your scoring data comes from Sleeper.
How much does Dynasty Desk cost?
Dynasty Desk costs $25 per team per season, paid upfront by the commissioner. GMs always join free — they never see a paywall or billing screen. A 12-team league costs the commissioner $300 per season, which includes full access to every feature for all GMs all season long.
