Please explain the Week 5 Stat Correction applied on Dec 9.
This can't be done after the week is complete, especially this late in the season. I have several teams that this affected their playoff seeding, including one team unexpectedly eliminated from the playoffs.
We apologize for the delay in applying these updated stats. Due to an outage with our stats provider during that time, this process had been put on hold. Any changes to standings should more accurately reflect the results from the games in Week 5. These corrections only impact IDP leagues or leagues using TFL.
If these corrections are undesired, commissioners can reverse any changes using the Edit Team Points setting in commissioner tools.
In addition, if these corrections resulted in a change in your league’s standings that may have altered playoff seeding, commissioners can edit this as well using the Edit Playoff Seeds tool. We made the decision to update stats for week 5 to better reflect official NFL stats. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused for your league.

Players on teams whose games have been postponed due to COVID-19 are eligible for IR slots
The PIT/TEN game being postposed until later in the season means a lot of people will be scrambling to fill those spots, but it doesn't mean you should have to drop players to do so.
Players who have games PPD or cancelled are not eligible for an IR slot unless they are given the COVID, Out, or IR designation.
-
Why does it take so long for Yahoo to place a player on IR?
Austin Ekeler is on IR, they have him as "D". They did the same for Jalen Reagor. This needs to be done on Tuesday so you can pickup someone from waivers. They wait so long that you lose out on the waiver wire or have to give up another player.
We change the injury designation when the player’s team makes the update to the injury report.

Plan Ahead Auto Pick Option
You should allow a team manager to turn on autopick well in advance of a live draft if the know ahead of time that they won't be able to attend. Or allow the commish to turn on that setting for them right before the draft starts so that the others don't have to sit through the full 90 seconds each time that team's on the clock! Right now the requirement that they attend the draft to turn that feature on seems to defeat the purpose!
The full time will only run for their first pick, and then it is automatically turned on.

Predraft pick trading
It would be nice to have the ability to trade draft picks predraft in redraft leagues. We set our draft order about a month before our draft, and we’d like to be able to use that time to draft picks
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your feedback.
The commissioner of a league has the ability to edit the draft order for a league until approximately 1 hour before the league’s scheduled draft time.
If members are looking to trade draft picks, this can be done manually and the commissioner can use their commish tools to edit the draft order for rounds to account for the traded picks.
Thanks,

Integrate with 3rd party
Please integrate with ********* Draft, so everything can be uploaded and downloaded in. It would save lots of time for us entering players on teams. As we like doing our draft live and not on line. ********* Draft is awesome to work with and I feel it’s a win win for ********* Draft and Yahoo fantasy, if you would let ********* Draft integrate with you guys.

COVID affected players on extra IR slots
Simply allow extra IR slots for weeks when players/teams may be postponed. This allows users to retain the players without penalty or having to remove other players they would have kept otherwise. The BYE week functionality forces to get rid of players that we don't want to.

Draft Function Change
This would probably be too hard to do but make it to where we can select the position we want to draft in each Round. This would be especially beneficial for auto-Draft. I saw this feature on FleaFlicker's site.
I believe they can do that because their Draft Pre-Ranking and choice of Draft Type is connected somehow. Their preferred list can be individually set for each position instead of one long list of all positions having to drag players all over the place trying to guess who might be drafted or not.

Hi Larry,

The option for playoffs during weeks 15, 16 and 17 are available in leagues. You will be able to edit the number of teams and playoffs weeks using the commissioner tools to edit the league settings.

I would like to be able to select Bye weeks for my league. But only 2 teams per week, not the full league in a given week.
Let us add Bye weeks of our own. To make the draft more fun. Therefore each team would have 2 Bye weeks per player at some times.
Hi Ken,
Thanks for your suggestion.

Dec. 9th Stat Corrections should be reconsidered
The stat corrections changed me from securely in second place to barely hanging onto a playoff spot. It would have changed the way I played my recent weeks and it may cost me a playoff spot depending on the outcome of this week. As stated above, this clearly violated the rules and provisions set by Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.
Weeks ago, user Jordan Rock posted a comment saying that "having a stat correction 3 days later is ********." He/she talks about how this could cost managers playoff spots or put managers into the playoffs when they weren't originally in. Here we…

Stat corrections must be made quickly! (no more than 48 hours after games!!)
Week 5 stat corrections occured almost two months after the fact (Dec. 9) and this is very destabilizing to the league and appears to be a clear violation of the protocol - which says that these should have been applied by Thursday October 15th. Frankly, if stat's cannot be corrected within a 48 hour (or similar) time frame, it would be better for league camaraderie, perceived fairness and the the long-term interest of the players participating in the Yahoo Fantasy Forums that they NOT be applied. As commissioner of my league, I strongly recommend Yahoo not make changes more than…
