How can we make Fantasy Football better?

Rosters/Lineups - Roster limits for positions.

This feature would allow commissioners to set the maximum and minimum number of players a team can roster at each position at a given time. For example, teams can have a maximum of 3 QBs on their roster or a team can have a minimum of 1 kicker. Currently there is no way to set the maximum or minimum number of players a team can roster at each position.

    I'm tired of playing roster police. Yahoo needs to add commish tools for the ability to set roster positional limits. As super flex leagues become more popular we need to be able to set roster limits in order to keep things fair and prohibit hoarding qbs etc.

  • Rob Tillotson commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is critical for all. It is important for commissioners to be able to set limits (especially in larger leagues - 10, 12 man leagues) where teams are more likely to hoard QBs - there’s 32 teams and in a 2QB Superflex league, that’s at minimum 2 QBs per team (excluding ANY bench QB). ESPN does this on their platform and, despite being with Yahoo for over 11 years, we may have to switch due to this not being an option.

  • Matt Hendry commented  ·   ·  Report

    We should be able to limit the amount of players for a specific position. QBs, TEs, kickers etc etc. please make it happen! It would prevent a lot of issues and complaints

  • Alex Hudimatch commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is very important to our 2QB league. We have 10 teams and would like to restrict rosters to 3 QBs so that there are always 2 starting QBs available for pickup. If teams horde 4-5 QBs on their bench, there are no starters available. We had a similar issue with RBs in another league and I was manually enforcing a limit of 6 RBs per roster, but setting auto restriction would be much better.

  • Keith Rocero commented  ·   ·  Report

    If this doesn’t change for the 2025-26 season I’m switching to ESPN, there’s no reason not to have more control over the rosters to keep things fairer. Have been with Yahoo for Fantasy Sports since 2009 and don’t want to leave, but this will force my hand if not resolved.

  • eric s commented  ·   ·  Report

    So, Yahoo isn't going to make this change? I think the draft limit setting means you can only draft 2QBs, but then people can hoard post draft. So if someone's QB gets hurt, they are screwed. ESPN can limit people to 2QBs on the roster.

    This needs to happen asap, Really thinking of switching to ESPN or Sleeper. I truly like yahoo and don't want to switch because all my league's I'm in are on yahoo but if it isn't changed asap then I'm going to leave

  • Brad Cunningham commented  ·   ·  Report

    Superflex 12 man leagues it's critical to not have qb hoarding owners, otherwise we have to shorten benches

  • Al Caesar commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please make this change. ESPN has this option, and it helps with keeping a more viable set of options on waivers to replace injured players, and prevents silly behaviors like rostering all the unplayed kickers or defenses to keep your streaming opponent from getting one.

  • Jose M Bank commented  ·   ·  Report

    please allow and option to limit how many of each position can be rostered.

  • Shane Croker commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree. I think I posted about this several years ago and maybe even last year, too.

  • Shane Croker commented  ·   ·  Report

    There is always one league manager that tries to be cute and hoard players/positions.

  • Shane Croker commented  ·   ·  Report

    All for maximum/minimum number of player positions including bench positions. Prevents hoarding.

  • Bjørn christensen commented  ·   ·  Report

    Is anyone from yahoo actually looking at these suggestions?!?!

    If so why is there no "official" update? There are comments here going back years - At least a "not gonna happen notice" or something

  • Bjørn christensen commented  ·   ·  Report

    We really needs this. As a commish we are considering moving to ESPN to get this feature.

    It is important that IR spaces "excludes" players from the roster max.
    If possible it would be very nice, if you could chose to "exclude" players on bye from the max calculation - commish setting :-))

  • Eric Leuck commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am getting so frustrated with this. As a Commissioner, I have been asking for this for like four years!! What is the holdup?!

  • Eric Leuck commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can we PLEASE get roster position limits implemented?! I have been asking for this for like five years. This is literally the ONE feature that ESPN has that I like better than Yahoo. I don't understand why this is a debate? It's only a benefit. If league choose not to use it, then they can turn it off. Managers holding players is nothing short of annoying. As commissioner, I have my bench set to four players, and I still get managers who hold players. Please get this added ASAP!!!
