More in-draft control
Commissioner should be able to pause the draft, make picks for someone, even be able to go back and change a pick if need be. Not everyone can be at the draft. And sometimes the circumstances are less than ideal. Wifi cuts out all the time. People have technical issues. We had to switch to ****** espn this year because of their in draft controls.

Draft Central!
Is it possible to only have a auto pick draft only & a regular draft pick only in draft central!? It dosen't serve the purpose if people just auto pick all the time!

Auto Draft - Show which players were auto drafted by which team
Our league requires an additional fee if you auto draft. There is no way to tell post draft if a player or team was auto drafted. I get that an Auto draft logo will appear next to their team name but if they go the full allotted draft time, yahoo drafts for the team.

allow for extended draft
Having the option for an extended draft, allows teams to draft over a period of time. For example, a league could start drafting three weeks before the season starts. Each team would have, 12 hours to make a pick. It is getting tougher and tougher to find a time to draft, so this would allow more freedom for everyone's schedule.

Allow draft pick trades for future years beyond just 1 year
Would like to be able to include draft picks in trades beyond just 1 year out from the current year. Would be way more realistic and awesome for keeper leagues.

Commissioner access to enter all draft picks for players during a live draft.
There should be a draft setup where the commissioner can draft for most of the players during a live draft. An example of what I'm describing:
My league has chosen to do an offline, in person draft this year. Only 11 of the 14 members can make it in person. It would be awesome if us 11 could still do our in person draft (with draft board and all) while the 3 stuck at home are able to follow along on the site (or app). If I, as commish, were able to input every pick at the in…259th ranked -
Skip a draft spot
Weighted keepers are becoming more and more common. With weighted keepers you lose a round of the draft based on which round a keeper was drafted the previous year. My idea would be for commissioners to set the draft order 1-10 or 12 or whatever it may be but select a team in a specific round to be skipped over that way you don't need to spend hours adjusting the draft order for draft positions lost by teams.

report on how long each owner took to draft
Just for fun - a simple table to show how long each owner took to draft (average time per pick or total time).
Thought this would be a fun stat to show since this is a common theme across all leagues.
Thank you for your feedback. I will pass this along to our engineering team to review further.

Live Draft Party
Yahoo does not have enough options to accommodate live drafts. Did a live draft this year and it worked out great but I had to use Clickydraft instead of yahoo. The options that made us choose Clickydraft are:
Read only URL of live draftboard. This allows anybody to stream the draftboard where they have a web browser. We were able to put the draftboard up on a 70in tv for everyone to see at draft party.
Extend draft pick timer and pause timer. While hosting a live draft party with 10 close friends and…

Allow for Commishioner to limit how many of each position a team can sign or draft, not just start.
Many people have requested this, but allow for commissioners to limit how many of each position can be signed/drafted. Especially in large leagues. When an owner makes it so it's impossible for other teams to get a back up so it hurts the league and causes one team to just flat lose and be no competition for anyone in the league. By current yahoo rules, this is fair and legal play. Unless a position is on the IR, Let us limit how many of that position can be signed.

Link to players draft position
We have a Keeper league, in which the round the player was drafted in determines his upcoming keeper value. I'd like to be able to click on a player, a FA but more importantly, a player on someone's roster to determine the round that player was selected or whether he was Undrafted/FA. This would make it easier to determine accurate trade value.

In the draft app, keepers should be indicated on the "upcoming picks" timeline.
In the draft app, picks occupied by keepers should be indicated on the "upcoming picks" timeline. And when it says "3 picks until your next pick", that should mean 3 actual picks, not 3 picks OR keeps. For instance, if the first pick of the round is on the clock, there is a player being kept at the 2nd spot in the round, and I have the 3rd pick of the round, it should say "You are picking next".

Allow Football team managers pick a bench player on their roster for each position that automatically gets subbed into the lineup if injury
Allow Football team managers pick a bench player on their roster for each position that automatically gets subbed into the lineup if the starter gets injured during his real game....so that position can still accumulate points! i.e. QB Aaron Rogers gets injured, then my backup QB gets inserted into my fantasy lineup so i can still get points for that position

Create a "draft board" view for offline draft entry
For offline drafts, can you create a "draft board" view to enter draft picks. Our league would prefer to project the draft board during our draft and manually enter the picks. Currently the format is not very user-friendly and does not appear as a draft board, forcing us to purchase a paper board and then go back and enter draft results at a later time. This would save a lot of time and be an awesome feature for offline drafts!!

Salary draft
A league format that gives each member a salary and the top players at each position get auctioned for a portion of those salaries in lieu of being drafted.
When the top __ players at each position are all selected, we can resume the draft with the draft order set from the member with the most amount of cap left over selecting first, and the member with the least amount of cap selecting last.
Yahoo has auction drafts, which give a player a certain amount of money and allow them to bud on players for their team. Here is an article to learn more about an Auction draft: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/live-auction-draft-sln6530.html

Auto-Draft Customization PLEASE
I understand that almost everyone can (and should) make time for the big draft for our fantasy teams, but sometimes due to work or other important obligations, you can't even have your phone on you to draft remotely.
Please set up a way to auto-draft more effectively. Honestly, even just a checkbox that says, "Draft Defense and Kickers last," would change everything.
Shift workers, etc. may be the minority, but we are still your users and want a fair shot at the fantasy crown. Help us out here!
Thank you for providing this feedback. I will forward this to our engineers for further review.

Dynasty/Keeper support: rookie draft, open year round, etc.
Implement the features that myfantasyleague.com has that prevent us from running a legit dynasty league: open year round, ability to have a rookie draft after the NFL draft, ability to trade draft picks and players during the draft. If there's an increased cost associated with keeping leagues open all year, maybe offer a premium feature that you pay for.

PPR points per position
Would it be possible to change scoring PPR points per position? We want to do a Tight end premium 1.5 ppr. with RB/WR .5 point.
