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.

This would be an amazing MUCH NEEDED addition. The fact that Yahoo doesn't have this, is one of the reasons I am trying to move my league to another format. Not only does it prevent managers from monopolizing skill position players, (which they eventually use for trades that other owners have to make to gain depth) but it also puts more emphasis on the draft, requiring one to come to the table with a strategy instead of playing keep away from other owners. Beyond that - limiting positions also keeps the wire stocked with players that you may actually need/want on your rosters, instead of being stuck with bottom feeders that wont provide you any value. Hording players isn't Fantasy Football - its a cheap way to expose the loophole that YAHOO wont close. ALL other formats allow for this. Yahoo, please do this

To prevent managers from "hogging" players/teams especially at the QB, TE, K, and Def/St. positions. Makes it difficult for managers to roster positions especially during bye weeks when this occurs and is not checked. It is really noticeable at the Def/St. position.

Allow for the editing of rosters positions for minimum and maximum number of players/teams for each position.

I am almost confused why Yahoo hasn't implemented this already.

This is a must! ESPN does this and is a basic feature that the commish should be able to enforce. For example, some teams hord QBs and/or RBs. Shouldn't be allowed.

This would be a great addition. It would prevent RB hoarding. It would also improve SuperFlex leagues since people could be limited to having 2QBs on the roster, ensuring everyone gets two starting QBs.

The point is to prevent teams from hoarding and have more than 3 QBs/TE's/Def/St's/K's.

Shane Croker commented
Being able to limit how many QB's, K's, Defenses, a team can hold on there roster at any one time.

This is a must. People horde players, especially RB, and it’s crazy. I don’t think it’s strategy to stock pile players. Strategy is mixing and matching players based off bye weeks and matchups. In my league of 12, I’ve had the bench set at 5 for an 12 player rostered team. That’s the only way I can stop the hoarding. It still is difficult.

I enjoy setting up 2 QB leagues. The only reason that I don't do it more often is because people can hoard QB's and mess up the rosters of others. Commissioners should have the option of limiting the number of players that you can draft per position in custom leagues.

This is super useful in IDP leagues as well. Typically more bench spots because you have to fill out a defence as well as an offence. It would be great to have the option to appoint bench spots to either O or D. I dont care so much about the actual position, and having the option doesnt mean that leagues would have to use it. I for one would love to have this in my league (14 team keeper w IDP). The only option to control this now is to manually police it as commish (which sucks), use the honour rule (most owners are good about it) or to reduce the number of bench spots, which kinda sucks (we use 6 bench and 1 IR). I would be great to be able to have 4 Offensive bench and 2 Defensive bench spots. Just my two cents

Yahoo needs to do this. I wouldn't change anything like this mid-season, but we have a yearly league that needs this at least for our 2021 season. We do 1QB and 1Superflex position. In the draft we have people drafting and hoarding 5-7 QB's. ESPN offers this level of customization, Yahoo needs to do something to try to keep up. You're falling WAY behind Yahoo!!!

This would help prevent people from stock piling one position or another

Allow us to max out players being drafted in our draft. I have a 2QB league for 8 teams. I want everyone maxed at 3.

Your system defaults for mock and actual drafts fills the starting lineup positions first causing kickers and defenses to be selected too early and skewing draft results. Reposition these auto selections to later in the draft process.

In an Autodraft, I'd like to be able to adjust the number of players picked in any one position. I do not want to draft 2 kickers, I'd rather draft 1 kicker and opt to get an extra WR or RB.

BIG MUST HAVE!!! Too many people (the uneducated or nefarious ones) horde RBs during the season. Please ad feature. But allow Commissioners to set the limit.
Thank you -
Tom Kirk commented
Must Have. Please give Commissioners this "Option". Position Limits is vital to help maintain draft integrity. Too many people quit a draft or play games and horde RBs. This must me a limit feature for draft day and throughout the entire season. --- Please add "Position Limits" feature that Commissioners can utilize at their own discretion.

If they are hoarding QBs, then they are lacking subs at other positions.
So, are you using 2QBs, but just 1 K & DEF ?
That problem is easy to solve -- use 2 Ks & 2 DEFs.
