Injury Switch - Reduce Impact of Early Game Injuries
The "Injury Switch" would be a toggleable rule that can be set by commissioners that would afford a Fantasy Manager the ability to swap out a active player with a player on their bench if, during the 1st half of the game, the active player is designated as "out". This switch could only be exercised for bench players that have not completed or started their games. Further, it can only be exercised a certain amount of times per year (once a week, 3x per year, once a year etc as options). Injuries are a part of football and we all…
Hello,
Thanks for your feedback.
Commissioners have the ability to retroactively edit a team's roster for any given game week.
You can reach out to your commissioner about this type of league rule and they can implement it to make the change using their commissioner tools.

All-Play Playoff
Provide an All-Play playoff!
It’s like a survivor league. Example, teams (6-8) make the playoffs, and each round lowest scoring 2-teams are eliminated. Continue each round until Championship game becomes H2H.

Have a Forum to advertise league for replacement managers
There's nowhere to recruit for new managers
Hello Pete,
Thanks for reaching out.
Commissioners of Private Leagues have a few resources for recruiting additional managers to join their fantasy league. If you’re looking for additional competitors, try the following options.
- Publish your league to the public.
- Invite friends from your other Yahoo leagues.
- Post your league on Twitter using the hashtag #findaleague or on Reddit’s Find a League Subreddit.
Thanks,

Keepers - Use players marked as 'Keeper' as the can't cut list
Our league forces players to keep keeper players on their roster for the whole season. It would be nice if Yahoo would help us enforce that to avoid mistakes by using the keeper players as the can't cut list.

option to set matchup rankings based on last x weeks instead of whole season
when grading matchups, allow us to toggle them based on the last x weeks. for example, if my wr is up against detroit, i want to know how detroit secondary has been performing over the last 5 weeks, not the whole season. there should be a dropdown where i can set the number of weeks to base the matchup ranking on.
Thanks for your feedback! We'll pass this along to our team.

Explain to me like I'm 10 why Jeff Driskel qualifies at TE?
Jeff Driskel didn't even line up as a TE. How does he qualify at TE? Wouldn't he qualify at RB first if you were trying to give him dual eligibility?
Here is some insight into this: https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/zm2ibx/comment/j0c6n8c/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

process waivers 12:01
its 2022 ..why ca nt you process the waiver same time every week
Hello James,
Thanks for reaching out.
Waivers normally begin to process starting at 12 AM PT. Due to the number of leagues with waivers, it can take time for waivers to process. There are times when waivers are delayed for reasons which cause them to run later than expected. We do attempt to remain as consistent as possible.

Add a running total of the projected vs actual scores
It would be fun to have a running total of projected points vs actual points and post this on the standings page. Fun to look at, gives another way to keep everyone interested, and gives another way for us to compete, especially if someone has a mediocer team. This would give us 1) league winner, 2) league pick'em winner and 3) best actual vs projected winner.

Rivalries with other owners
You should implement an all-time head-to-head record vs other owners. This can expand on the idea of rivalry week. Maybe you cant schedule a rivalry week per say but if you add a remark saying this is your rival because you have a terrible win percentage against this opponent adds a bit of substance to that matchup that week. My wife just started playing last year. faced her 5 times in 2 seasons. have not beaten her yet and she beat me in last year's championship game. She is my biggest rival in fantasy now.

Playoff Tiebreakers
Can Yahoo please consider adding bench points as an alternate tiebreaker option, specifically for playoffs? H2H regular season record or Higher Seed receiving the win is not viable option for deciding playoff tiebreaker. I understand it's so unlikely with fractional points nowadays but you never know.

Let teams who don't make playoffs play among themselves in a loser league
Let teams who don't make playoffs play among themselves in a loser league.
Hi Beverly,
Thanks for your feedback.
If your league uses a 4 or 6 team playoff bracket, then you could have consolation bracket for the remaining teams if there are 4 to 6 teams who did not make the playoffs. There is no consolation bracket in an 8 team playoff.

"Recent Games" in desktop player popups is broken, stops at bye week
On players' popups on the desktop version of the site, the "Recent games" block showing the player's last 3 games is broken and always stops just before their bye week. For example, in James Robinson's player popup, his latest "Recent Games" entry is from week 9 (it is currently week 14) because his bye week was week 10.

Add feature to setup automatic changes IF player is deemed out
Last minute injury updates can kill the fantasy experience. I can't tell you how many games I have lost because I had an important player ruled out right before a game starts and I either don't see it or I don't get to my app before the players lock.
I would like to see a feature added that allows me to set backup players if a player is deemed out. This could be reset weekly or possibly be something that stays week to week. If you have a handcuff RB then you may want to say if Mixon is changed…
We do have the Start Active Players tool that will move bench players to your starting lineup if the starter is injured. We also have the Start Optimal Players tool that you can get if you purchase Fantasy Plus where it will do the exact same thing, but it will set your lineup based on projections. So, it's a bit of an upgrade. To learn more about the Start Active Players tool, follow this link: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/start-active-players-option-fantasy-sports-sln28660.html
