Playoffs - Odd number of teams
This playoff format would allow for an odd number of teams in the playoffs. Currently, this is not an option for playoff formats.

I agree! I'd like to see this option available too in 2022. We want to expand our league to 12 teams, (current at 10 teams with 4 teams making the playoffs at the end of the year). We'd like to only expand the playoffs by 1 team, a 5 team playoff bracket. I am in league with ESPN that offers 5 team playoff, and we've had it that way for 6+ years. I would love to see Yahoo evolve a little but and offer some of these customization items to their league settings.

7 team playoff with the #1 seed getting a bye week!

I agree.
With regards to the playoffs, yahoo should make the same changes as NFL recently did. Having 7 team playoff teams with only the first seed getting a bye week would be awesome! -

7 team playoff with only the first seed getting a bye definitely needs to be a option next year!

It would be great to have the ability to set seven teams in the playoffs (bye only for the top team) in larger leagues. In a 14-team for-fun league, just 6 teams getting in feels bad, and 8 teams getting in feels a bit too easy to make the playoffs. Seven teams would be a really happy medium.

@Kevin Stenhouse - you have been able to do this for the last few years. It's called Edit Playoff Seeds and we have been employing the Wild Card in our league ever since.

100% agree. It would be ideal to have commissioners rank and set their own playoff which would fix everyone's concerns/questions. Personally, I'm in a 12 team head-to-head leagues with 6 team playoff... I've been proposing to add the 6th and last playoff spot as a "Wild Card", where highest point total among remaining teams makes playoffs as opposed to all 6 teams getting in by record. Commissioners should have ability to make this happen.

My league has voted to have 7 teams make the playoffs with the #1 see receiving a bye as we have 14 teams in the the league. This will also allow the consolation bracket have 7 teams and the #8 ranked team receiving a bye. Is this something that can be added?

LoL, Yahoo must ignore this.

There is not reason for this to be under "Gathering feedback" since 2014. What the literal F are you doing over there? The playoffs are your most important weeks and we have the least control over them!

Right now the only way a league can have a 7 team playoff format is by selecting the 8 playoff team option and then having the commissioner bench the players on the 8th place team in the 1st round of the playoffs. It would be a lot easier if yahoo just provided a 7 team playoff format in the league settings.

This is by far the most important issue that needs to be addressed by Yahoo Fantasy Football. With the NFL expanding it's regular season schedule from 17 weeks to 18 weeks, a 7 team playoff format needs to be made available to every league with 7 or more teams. The NFL is already entering it's second season with the 7 team playoff format. This update should have been made available last season.

Please make a 7 team playoff format available. The NFL is now going into it's second season with a 7 team playoff format in each conference. Yahoo Fantasy Football should allow this option for every league with 7 or more teams. With the NFL expanding the regular season schedule from 17 weeks to 18 weeks this is a very important feature that needs to be made available.

2 week playoff matchups is a standard request. Can you please implement?

The top line^ is pretty self explanatory, but another idea I had was to allow 14 team leagues to have 7 playoff teams! With just the #1 seed getting a bye. Thanks so much!
