Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

FantasyEdge wants its website and its app to be usable by everyone, including people who use a keyboard instead of a mouse, a screen reader, magnification, or who need less motion on screen. We work toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, the standard that Israeli Standard 5568 and most accessibility laws are based on.

This is ongoing work rather than a finished certificate. The site has not been audited by an outside accessibility expert, and this page says plainly what is known to be limited.

On the Website

• Every page starts with a "Skip to main content" link, so a keyboard user does not have to pass through the header each time.
• Menus, panels, filters, tables and forms can be reached and operated with the keyboard alone, and the element that has focus is always marked.
• Buttons that show only an icon have a text name for screen readers, and messages that appear on their own, such as a form error or a result count, are announced.
• Pages use headings, landmarks and real table headers, and each page declares its language.
• Text and controls meet a contrast of at least 4.5:1, including the text on the coloured value cells. Colour is never the only way a value is shown: every coloured cell also carries its number.
• The layout holds up to 200% browser zoom and reflows down to a phone-sized screen.
• Animations respect the "reduce motion" setting of your device. With it on, the Draft Lottery shows its result without the animation.

Accessibility Settings

The "Accessibility settings" button in the footer of every page, and in the menu at the top right, opens a panel with four settings. They take effect immediately and are remembered in your browser on that device.

• Text size: Normal, Large or Larger. It enlarges text and spacing together, like zooming the page.
• High contrast: black text and darker borders.
• Reduce motion: stops animations and transitions, for devices where the system setting is not available.
• Underline links: underlines every link so it stands out from the text around it.

In the App

The app has no settings panel of its own, because it follows the settings of your phone instead. It has so far been checked on iPhone only.

• Buttons, links and tabs are named for VoiceOver and TalkBack, headings are marked as headings, and a table row that can be tapped is announced as a button.
• Text follows the text size chosen in your phone’s settings, up to one and a half times the standard size, and the data tables grow their rows and columns with it. Beyond that the text stops growing, so that it is never cut off by the box it sits in.
• Animations respect your phone’s Reduce Motion setting.

Known Limitations

• The data tables are wide. On a small screen or at a large text size they scroll sideways inside their own frame; the player’s name stays pinned while they do.
• The Draft Lottery’s court is an animation and is not described to screen readers as it plays. The draft order it produces is given as text, and can be copied.
• The radar chart in Similar Players is a picture of numbers that are also in the comparison table below it; the chart itself is not described.
• In the Depth Charts editor, used only by our staff, drag and drop has a menu alternative on every player.
• Articles, this statement, the privacy policy and the terms are in English only. In the other eleven languages some interface text is still untranslated and appears in English.
• Pages on other sites that we link to, such as Yahoo, ESPN, Sleeper and Fantrax, are outside our control.
