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…

🏆 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.

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.

Draft board pop out
Make a setting so that the draft board (or any specific feature) can be popped out and open on two different windows. Would be able to watch the draft board and the player list at the same time.

Celing / Floor search
I mentioned this for the High Score basketball, where I feel it is a neccessity, but I think you should be able to search for players' ceiling and floor scores under the PLAYERS tab when searching for players to add to your roster. It should be in the drop down tabs as a sort item. For example, its the playoffs in fantasy football and I would like to search for the free agent tight end that has scored the highest in a single week this season, because I am looking for blowup potential in a matchup where I am the…

Get rid of chat in fantasy sports
The chat used in fantasy sports is a joke. A few years ago, you took a notes section away which was a big mistake. Chat is unfriendly and isn't being used much. With a baseball league I am in, following the same path of filters, I have found two different sets of baseball chat. I am not able to consistently find the same one. Please bring back what you took away. And using the email league option, which I have been using instead of chat so that everyone can see it, a reply to such email does not come through.…

Lock non-playoff team rosters
I'm in a Prize League and the non-playoff teams are making transactions this week during the playoffs....this opens the door for cheating and collusion. Allow them to change their lineups but not access Waivers or Free agents.
