Travis Hunter Position Classification
Greetings, The classification of Travis Hunter, as both a WR and CB, is causing heart ache within our league. A manager had drafted him and will be playing him as a defensive player. However, it is most likely that he will be playing on the offensive side of the ball. It gives that manager that drafted him a competitive advantage where one was not intended. It is an anomaly for certain, I am requesting that since he will be played as a WR, that his classification within the league be changed to WR, only. I am certain that this is…

Increase max buy in for custom leagues
It’s been capped at $250 buy in for 12 man league for like half a decade. Between inflation and just it generally being limiting anyway, an increase is long overdue. Any increase is appreciated, but going up to $500 would be great. Over the last few years I’ve been commissioner on multiple leagues and every year it gets harder to stick with yahoo simply because of this hard cap. Please don’t make me leave yahoo.

Scoring and Scheduling Format
Please consider going back to the previous format for the basketball schedules. It was a much better in the format showing the overall season record for each team as well as the rankings. It just seemed to be a more user friendly and an appealing look with good information.

Add new "Two NFL Teams only league format -It is fun
I don't know if you have access to one of my league titled "2 NFL teams" (ID 87656), but if you do, check it out. I/We self-manage the use of add-on rules to where each manager owns the rights to the players from just two NFL teams. Here is how it works - A) works best with 10 managers, but can use 12 B) Off-line snake draft, just two rounds C) Each round consists of drafting a Team DEF D) Commissioner manually puts each managers drafted Team DEF on the respective rosters E) Managers then can ONLY select players for…

Move Chat to main page and remove Updates from it
Just a couple of things:
1) Try as I may to promote the use of the "League Chat" feature through posting trivia questions, award managers extra "Free Agent Budget' dollars for posting in the League Chat, and posting questons to respond to...the use of the League Chat is only used about 10% as much as the Message Board was used. First recommendation is to bring back the message board. If we are stuck with League Chat I would recommend two things 1) put League Chat on the main page so managers will see it when they go to the site…Thank you for your feedback regarding league chat!

Other payout options
I feel there should be other ways to payout winnings to those who use your site for fantasy sports. I don't have a PayPal account. I stressed that fact in my first email to Yahoo sports. Now, I have received an email stating they will put my winnings in "My Verified PayPal Account." Which I don't have. There is some type of communications breakdown happening here. Can I get my winnings through any other medium? PayPal does not work for me.
Hi James,
Unfortunately, we do not offer other options that will allow you to withdraw your funds from your Fantasy Wallet.
A verified PayPal account is required for all withdrawals from your Yahoo Fantasy Wallet. You can link or unlink your account anytime during the season to prepare for your winnings; https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN26448.html.
The funds will remain in your wallet until you have linked a verified PayPal account that is not being used by any other Yahoo members for Yahoo Fantasy.
Thanks,

🏆 Hide Pre Draft Ranks 🏆
I’d like the option to hide pre-draft rankings for my league so that managers can’t see Yahoo’s default rankings before or during the draft.
I think this would be a great feature because it rewards managers who actually prepare and do their own research ahead of time. As it stands, some people show up on draft day, rely entirely on the default rankings, and still end up making the playoffs. Hiding pre-draft rankings would put more emphasis on preparation and strategy rather than just following a preset list.

change to scheduling system
I'm the commissioner of a 8 team league. I have two divisions with 4 teams in each one, we noticed that each team is playing the teams in there division up to 3 times in a season. My question to you is, since we play 14 weeks before the playoffs, do you have a schedule system that will allow each team to play each other twice for the year no matter the division they are in. If i calculated it correctly, that should be 7 teams, everybody body plays each other twice, comes to 14 weeks, then playoffs start week…
Hi Russ,
In Yahoo Fantasy Head-to-Head Categories, Points or One Win leagues, the schedule for each team to compete against each other is set automatically. As commissioner, you're able to adjust the schedule to suit your league's needs.
Edit season schedule

- Click your league name.
- Click the Commissioner tab.
- Click the Schedules & Playoffs tab.
- Click Edit Schedules.
- From this page:

- Make any week a Rivalry week – No bonus points are awarded, just bragging rights.
- Shuffle the entire schedule – Randomly shuffle all teams. Be aware this can't be undone.
- Click Save.
Deadlines and additional info

Remove Waiver Setting Disallowing managers to waiver a recently dropped player
There is a mandatory setting that disallows managers from submitting waiver claims on players they dropped. This rule does not make sense. The managers would be “penalized” for dropping and waiving using their priority or FAAB. Everyone should have access to everyone.
Example of why it’s bad. This season I dropped a backup, RB. In the game the primary got injured and he became the guy. I had #2 priority and wasn’t even allowed to submit a claim. Our #10 priority got him, but not even on his first claim. He submitted two claims, got his first and then claimed…
Thank you for your feedback regarding being unable to place waiver claims on players who you have just dropped. It isn't possible to place a waiver claim on a player that you have just dropped to waivers except in leagues that utilize FAB waivers, but we appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team.

Add Another Round or 3 to the Fantasy Football Best Ball Leagues
Two years ago when you dropped defenses in the best ball leagues, you dropped 3 rounds of the draft. Fair snake drafts in fantasy football should always be an even number of rounds. I think you should go to 18 rounds or even 20 as all other sites have at least 18. With so many injuries these days, it's difficult to even get a full lineup on certain weeks. Thanks

Ban a commissioner going under name Honda Racers in a league USA name
I was in a league for several years, named USA with a commissioner under rather name Honda Racers, I was playing him in semi finals of league and had a substantial lead going into Monday game and noticed he had taken a QB that played Sunday ,not on his team, and he picked him up and replaced A QB that scored 10. I know you won’t do anything about this , but feel more limited powers giver to this person. I have no desire to ever play in his league again EVER, but I have several leagues I play. Please…
Yahoo doesn't interfere in any way when it comes to Private Leagues including issues with a Private League commissioner. Using League Chat or directly emailing the commissioner is the best way to address any problems.
For a Fantasy Sports experience without a commissioner try a Public League. Yahoo acts as commissioner in Public Leagues where Fair Play and Sportsmanship guidelines are enforced.

Expanded Consolation Bracket, 2 Week Champions Bracket
This idea is for a 12 team league, but could work in 1 team leagues. I would like to have an option for a championship bracket with the top 4 teams and 2-week matchups along with a consolation bracket with 1-week matchups for the remaining 8 teams. In a 12 team league, the playoffs would last 4 weeks. The top 4 seeds in the championship bracket play out as usual with the winners of the 1st matchups playing for a championship in the last 2 weeks. Here’s where it gets tricky: I would want the losers of the first championship…

Guillotine League "Playoffs"
We appreciate you launching a guillotine league. We were doing it manually for the 7 prior years. For next year, it would be great if you could add a "playoff" feature. That is, chopped players are not available for the last few weeks. You can still do free agent pickups of non-rostered players, but the chopped team's players are locked. We do this for the last 3 games. So the last team available is the 5th place team, we lock down the 4th and the 3rd place rosters. Thanks for considering.

Total up the weekly points for non-playoff teams, please.
We give a points championship for all weeks, even for teams that did not make the playoffs.
I have to go tally the points for those teams by hand.
By hand!

New scoring bonus tier
New tiers should be added for receivers that go above 200 receiving yards. 100 yards tiggers 3 additional points. So if a receiver hits 200 yards bonus should increase to 6. The same should be considered for QB's that hit above 400 passing yards which should tigger double bonus of 6. At the moment there are no rewards for going above 200 receiving yards or >400 passing yards. This would add more value whether through the regular season or playoff time.
Thank you for reaching out regarding bonuses in fantasy football. Commissioners of private leagues do have the ability to use up to 3 bonuses for each type of yardage (passing, rushing, receiving). They can set a bonus for 100 receiving yards and set a bonus for 200 receiving yards as well like you mentioned. They can set a bonus for 400 passing yards too.

Ranking Display
When we see the results every week, our displayed rankings should reflect the rankings during the week the matchups occur. For example, if my ranking during week 3 was 1st, but my current ranking is 3rd, when I look back at my week 3 results, it should show me at 1st instead of 3rd. That’s how college rankings work when we look back at past results so it makes sense to be that way for fantasy sports.
