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.

Let's say that I draft 4 RBs today.
Likely, 1 will be injured and 1 will be cut before the season's first game in Sept.
So, the only sensible thing for me to do is to draft 5 RBs.
QBs & WRs & TEs are less likely to be injured or cut.
So, 1 sub at each of these positions is sensible. -

Hey Jk, No one would force a commish to use this. All we want is an option for a private league that has roster limits (and nearly all leagues outside of Yahoo do) to be able to have that functionality on Yahoo like we have on other sites. whether or not you personally see a benefit is irrelevant. the fact is that many leagues have limits and Yahoo currently offers no way for the league to administer its rule.

Max Bench Roster postions needs to be completed by the beginning of the season please. Every other site has this option and it causes all kinds of problems within the leagues

My league would greatly appreciate position limit options. We are an IDP league so we would want to limit offense separtely from defense.

Have a 2QB league with 10 guys - sometimes teams want to pick up 4 QBs at a time for speculation purposes, but during bye weeks this leads to teams who can't start anyone at QB. I self-manage to make sure there is only 3 QBs a team during heavy bye weeks, but it would be great to be able to limit from a system side. Thanks!

Well, are you going to make this change or not? We ll want it and every other site allows it. Let's go! Wake up Yahoo.

Colorado Footballers agrees. ESPN limits your quantities give us commishes the choice to set amounts to each position so teams don't hoard positions. ESPN wont let you draft more than limits set

Yes, Mike K, we want the commish in a private league to be able to set limits on ROSTER positions;we already set the number of starters at any position. This issue has nothing to do with starters.

The commissioner can currently limit the starting spots by position with the Edit Roster Positions tool. Do you mean limit the number of RBs or WRs a team can have in total. For example 2 starting RBs and only allow 4 RBS on the team total?

I think more is involved than just the fantasy points that they score.
RBs are more likely to get hurt.
I want some insurance against those injuries.
And, the only way to have it is to draft one or two extra RB back-ups.
It's the only intelligent way to draft.
If you prohibit this insurance, you will hurt the better managers and reward the not-so-good managers.
Do you really want to do that? -

Simply make the overall bench size smaller - say 5 total. Then a GM really has to decide how to compose it. If he wants to make his bench all RBs, so be it. In my league we have standard team composition but with a W/R/T flex instead of a 3rd WR and also an extra 5 IDPs (individual defensive players). We only have 5 bench spots. It works great at keeping viable players available - even in a 14 team league!

If you set up your league with RBs and QBs scoring lots more points than the other positions, then of course you'll have managers drafting extra RBs and QBs.
If you set up your league so that DEFs and Ks and return specialists also have a lot of value, then managers will choose extra DEFs and Ks and return specialists.
The issue here involves supply and demand.
WRs have an over-supply, so you don't benefit from picking extra WRs unless return specialists are rewarded in your league specs.
DEFs and Ks are actually in shorter supply than RBs and QBs. It is amazing how much differently a manager will draft when DEFs and Ks and return specialists are valuable positions on a roster. -

I agree I need this done for my league as commish. I have guys hoarding one position excessively.

what is taking so long? This needs to be fixed now. Just reinstall last year's interface, which worked fine.

Please add this ability to Commissioner Tools. My league is quite strict with such rules as roster limits for each position. Inferior FF websites have this option and i'm surprised that Yahoo doesn't have it.

yes yes yes yes yes yes
I have been asking yahoo for this for about 10 years.
For some reason, perhaps abject stupidity, Yahoo is the only major Fantasy site that doesn't permit a private league to set roster limits. -

Please incorporate the MAX roster positions. I have a 12 person league and we limit the max number of RB or WR they can have.
