How the heck can you draft autopick already?
The actual draft didn't even happen yet. This is ridiculous. My first two picks are Ryan and Ertz.Ertz was sandwiched between Beckham and Brown. That is terrible rankings. And, why do I have TWO kickers? I want to leave this league. Or, give me an extra league to draft This is B.S!!!

Pulling Data from Multiple Leagues
I am working on a Fantasy Football project that looks to pull data (real-time points, teams, team rosters, etc) together from multiple leagues. I have been looking into the Yahoo Fantasy Sports API, but I am not sure if that covers all the data I am looking for. Is that something you can help with or can you point me in the proper direction?

ELEVEN FIXES NEEDED in Yahoo Sports Conversations/Comments section
Not all initial posts and/or replies "stick." Once a comment does not post (Yahoo glitch), it is impossible to re-post it. Very frustrating and discouraging to all Yahoo participants.
First replies to an initial post do not "show" until page is refreshed and/or a thumb is clicked on. Also, when replies are opened (on an initial post), if a thumb is then clicked, the replies close. Probably not correct and should be fixed.
Reply threads are "upside down." You have to read them from the bottom up to follow the continuity in chronological order.
Duplicate "nicknames" and avatars must be prevented . . . largely to stop impostors from making a mockery of other legitimate posters and ruining the Yahoo "experience." Also, to distinguish the different identities of posters with the same name (i.e. There are dozens of "John"s and it can get confusing as to which one is talking). If there are no two identical Email addresses worldwide, Yahoo can fix this problem.
The Fantasy and Gambling "stuff" should be put in its own separate section and removed from the real sports information. (See #6 next.)
The original one-page sports format (with the comments section included and no gambling and fantasy stuff) should be restored. It is much more concise and simple/easy to use than the "new and (not) improved" version we have to suffer with now. Let the gamblers have their fun in their own section but please let the non-gambling sports fans enjoy their sports without being bombarded by the fantasy/gambling information.
When a link to another site is copied and pasted into a reply, it first shows in a box as it appears on the site, but . . . when "Reply" is clicked (and it posts), it omits the original first line of text that had appeared in the box.
The "mute" feature is permanent and cannot be reversed. Maybe an "unmute" option could be provided. Because of constant screen "jumping" . . . Mute can be hit by accident and can't be undone.
Posters should be prevented from giving their own posts a thumb up or down.
I would be nice if there were an "edit" option (to make corrections) for comments (shortly) after they are posted. (Facebook has this feature.)
Flagging spammers doesn't seem to stop them. Does abuse flagging (for any reason) do any good?

Fix the Record Book pages for Team Points and Team Stats. All-Time Records are not updating the team, only the points.
This page is broken for:
Team Points - Most - Season (Average), All Time
Offense Points - Most - Season (Average), All Time
Touchdowns - Most - Season (Average), All TimeIt updates the point totals but leaves the previous record holder. Ie, my great season just boosted someone else's stats from years ago.

Weekly Contracts
The problem I have with FF is it relies heavily on how well you drafted. Get lucky and you win for 16 weeks straight.
In my league we use FAAB which is a lot of fun because it creates a supply and demand market and assigns dollar values to waiver wire players.
Here is my idea. What would be cool is a week-to-week contract system. Teams get a budget just like real life teams. Players get "signed" to a contract on draft day from anywhere from 1 week to the whole season. Initially, this is based on algorithms tracking projected value, draft ranking etc. But as the season progresses it becomes purely market-driven. Maybe I pick up Tom Brady for 3 weeks because that's when I need him and that's the only way I can afford him.
This system creates a lot of turnover and makes fantasy football way more transactional and fun and not just about game day and holding a bunch of keepers till the end.

Expand to NFL offseason
Please consider using the sister league of the NFL to run a Fantasy game during the NFL offseason. The AAF starts in February. It may not be feasible for a full blown game the first year without prior year stats but something like a Pick'em game could start to build interest.

KICKER: ADDED BONUS 60+ YARD FG OPTION
With kickers getting more powerful, our league unanimously voted that we want the option for additional bonus points on a 60+ yard field goal. Current yahoo settings only give you the option of 50+ yards. I reached out to yahoo asking for this added option. I figured I'd share this idea with the community.

Final Grade
So you sent me two emails with my "final grade..." a league I got 4th in said "you've built a winner" and a league I got 1st in said "anyone can have an off-year." I'm not sure if this is incompetence, carelessness, or stupidity, but you're making me embarrassed to use Yahoo. Not that this is the first time I've felt this way, nor will it be the last, but at risk of quoting Chris Berman, c'mon man!

You should be able to adjust how many votes it takes to veto a trade. It should take six in my opinion. Why don't I have that option to make

Make it possible for leagues to add / trade / drop year round to accommodate the dynasty format
Be ahead of the curve and cater to Dynasty Leagues. Make it possible for leagues to add / trade / drop year round to accommodate the dynasty format. Currently it says “the game has ended” and no roster edits are possible.

Team Defense Scoring Udate
Start Team Defenses off at zero points. They should advance just like every other position.
If they hold offenses to a FG (set points +)
If they get a TD scored on them (set points -)
Allow for the same categories of the individual players (passes defended, tackles, sacks, int, return yds)896th ranked -

3 team playoff option
Can you please add a playoff option where 3 teams make the playoffs with the 1st seed getting a bye in week 15 and the 2nd and 3rd seeds playing each other in week 15 for the right to play the 1st seed in week 16?
This would be good for leagues that want to have some playoffs, but want to limit the number of teams in the playoffs as well as give a reward to the regular season champion
