PPD games prove we need IL+ in Fantasy Baseball
If a player has Covid, they can be put on the IL. If the rest of the players on their team can't play because the game is PPD, there's nothing a manager can do. They have to suck it up and run with a shorthanded roster.
We're already seeing PPDs messing with opening week. Stars like deGrom, Alonso, Soto, Turner, and more are forced to sit on the bench through no fault of their own.
If baseball had IL+, a manager could slide the PPD players over and pick someone up until their main guys are ready to play again.

Adding Salary Cost next to player names
For Salary Cap leagues Yahoo should add the player cost from the Salary Cap draft next to the players name, in the 'My Team' area and 'Players' area. There should also be an option to keep that cost next to the player all year, even if dropped, or remove the cost when the player is dropped.
Would add so much more value to the Yahoo Salary Cap leagues.

Adjustment to Wavier/Date Turnover Time
Is it possible to change the waiver/day turnover time? As set currently, the first available time to complete Free Agent pickup and still persevere your waiver priority position is 3am EST. Based upon this setup, individuals (with ample time on their hands) are rewarded for staying up or waking up at 3am EST and making a pickup. This puts some individuals (most of whom have a job) at a disadvantage as 3am EST just does not work someone who is on a typical work schedule. Not sure if this is doable, but the current setup is less than optimal.

allow players to be dropped after they have played on a given day
Why cant we cut someone who had already played for the day? How does that benefit anyone? I want to cut someone to make room for a player that will be coming off of the IL but cannot. Now if i dont rem,ember to do this in the morning before work of, that pitcher that I want to activate won't be able to play on my roster for another week. i am sorry but I just dont see the logic behind your new rules (by new I mean they began last year).

Get rid of this add/drop wait until tomorrow to get your players rule.
Why do you have to wait until the next day to get players off of waivers? Some of us have jobs and other responsibilities and cannot get on these free leagues every day. I have had half line-up rosters so many times since you started doing this that if i make it through this year, I definitely will not be p;laying here next year.

Create a Commish "Start Active" Button for All Teams
It would be great if commissioners were able to select a leaguewide "Start Active Players" button so that teams would default to having fully active lineups/pitchers at the beginning of the week (or at any time during the week). H2H leagues that rely on active and consistent owner participation can get hurt in the latter parts of the year when folks start to lose interest. Being able to default the league to this - while communicating this with the league - would level the playing field.

Auto-renewal enhancement
As a commish, when leagues auto-renew (which is a great feature) there is no way to know if the owners actually committed. I wish the owners had to at least confirm that they are participating.

I want the option to shorten the head to head season
We’re coming from ESPN where they have a 14 week minimum. I want the option to shorten the head to head season so our fantasy football players can be done by August 1. Right now the longer yahoo season may be a deal breaker and we’ll play ESPN again.

Extend the Draft Timer up to five minutes
Hello, I would like you to consider extending the draft timer options past two minutes. I would like up to five. We have been drafting live for 20 years and have to move online this year. We take the league too seriously to risk auto picks after two minutes. We don't want to deal with reverting picks and other timer issues.
Hook up the pandemic draft timer options!

Eliminate keepers in predraft pick lists
Here is a simple request. Please eliminate all keeper players from each GM's available pre draft rankings. Right now, keepers are entered (manually) but when each GM goes to do their pre draft rankings, ALL the keeper players are listed in there still! So each GM has to manually select every keeper player(we have 200 keepers) and move them to the ignore side of the draft rankings. it is rediculous! They should be removed from any eligible predraft rankings lists. i have asked for this for about 3 years now. Please...would help every single keeper league.

Highlight player when at bat.
On the stat tracker, can you make the row turn another color when a player is at bat? I thought it used to turn yellow, but it doesnt now.

Offer Start Active Players in Separate Icons for Hitting, and then Pitching
Unfortunately, the Start Active Players function is useless in Baseball because it often removes relievers from scoring positions that necessitate going back and redoing the line up for each day defeating the purpose of the function, and potentially causing errors.

Change the waiver system back.
I keep getting screwed on waivers due to the IL system in place. I lost a player yesterday to the IL after their game had started. Due to this, I couldn't make a waiver claim until today which means I can't get a replacement player until tomorrow. Total ****. If this is the new system going forward, then I'll have to switch exclusively to ESPN,

Yahoo Please add commish updates, trade block and schedule editing to the mobile app
Please add commish updates to the mobile app. With more and more people using mobile devices it will be more convenient to see commish updates on the mobile app.
Also please add the trade block to the mobile app. Once again mobile devices are very popular. Adding trade block to the mobile app makes using yahoo fantasy that much better.
Please add schedule editing to the mobile app. Yahoo never gets the schedule right when league has division. For some odd reason yahoo always set the schedule so that teams plays teams outside their division the most. When leagues have…

Add a ROSTER filter to league searches
I like that you search for custom leagues using filters by scoring type, draft date etc.
Have you considered adding a filter so managers can search by roster change format: daily/weekly? I'm looking only for leagues with a WEEKLY roster change format, but it is very tedious to click on each league to view the rules to see what the roster change rule is. It'd be easier to just be able to filter for all weekly roster leagues.
Perhaps there are even one or two other filters that would also be useful for league searching? Thanks !689th ranked -

List SPs on lineup change page
A huge part of fantasy is knowing which pitcher batters are facing. Just put that days opposing starter next to the game time or opponent. Every other major site does it.
