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 would hate this rule. A player in one of my leagues ran his league this way and wanted our league to adopt the max limits too. It was voted down 11 - 1. Most people do not agree with max position player limits. Especially a bad idea for keeper leagues.

I don't want to join a league & then discover that the Commish is enforcing a roster limit on some position.
And I don't want to be in a league with a Commish who can impose a roster limit on some position at some point in the season.
Well, I guess maybe I'd be okay with it IF the players are allowed to remove the Commish after he imposes a roster limit and then we could return the league to sensible rules. -

I'd want as many RBs as I could get. RBs are frequently injured, demoted, or ignored. The NFL probably goes through about a hundred starting and committee RBs per year, and even the elite ones aren't used much some weeks. If I didn't have a good extra RB, then I'd have to try to be the first person to check the waiver wire each week that one of RBs is injured or on a bye or meeting a team with a good run defense.
Putting a limit on the number on your roster favors the person who sits with his computer on his lab ready to pounce on an RB immediately when something goes wrong.
The limit also presents an ugly problem when an injury causes a few games to be missed. If you have 4 RBs, the odds are that one will be on his bye week at the same time that another one has a two-week injury and another one is scheduled to play against the third best run defense in the NFL. You almost have to find another RB to take the place of one of the ones on your roster, but you can't afford to drop any of the three described above. So, what do you do?
If during the draft you picked up a couple of RBs who are part of a committee, then you could limp along until your injuries and bye weeks are solved. If not, then you lose to the person who is sitting with his computer in his lap ready to pounce on whatever RB looks promising for the next week. -

Regardless of whether it would be after the draft or before the draft,
I'd hate to have this rule imposed on a league that I play in. -

If I join a league and then the Commish imposes this limit rule,
will I be allowed to drop the league?
In the past, when the Commish changes rules,
Yahoo has not allowed us to drop out of the league. -

I oppose this idea.
I want to keep a couple of good players on my bench at all times.
They are useful for injuries and byeweeks.
Limiting my bench will limit my ability to manage my team well. -

I don't want in a league with this rule. It forces teams to have few bench players. Then when an injuries occur, whomever is awake at the time pulls in the best replacement player.
Why not have better scoring rules. If Ks and DEFs were given more points, then teams would have less reason to hoard QBs and RBs. -

So Yahoo any feedback as to whether or not this setting/option will be implemented for next year's season?

Question I've been asking for 3 YEARS. EVERY OTHER APP has it. Too complicated to police teams especially if one plays. If it's not changed after this year I'm gone

It works well for ESPN.

While I don't currently play in any leagues with such restrictions, I have in the past and know that many do play in such leagues. I like Yahoo's FF software and advocate for it in various forums. It would be nice to be able to tell other potential users that Yahoo supports this feature.

Our league has teams of 1 QB, 2 WR, 1 RB, 1 FLEX, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/ST, 6 BENCH. We have a roster limit on certain positions (2 QB, 5 WR, 4 RB) to prevent bench hoarding. We currently have to monitor this manually. Other sites (ESPN, etc.) have league options that would do this automatically for us. Can you add this to your system?

Allow Commissions to set roster position limits. For example, allowing no more than 3 QBs in a 2 QB league.

this can not be done without me babysitting 15 other grown men, too much to manage, looking for something automated, this concept is common in many spreadsheet leagues

You can create this rule today and enforce it using your commish tools, edit rosters, by removing "excess" players from the current rosters.
