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.

Please let the Commissioners for Survivor football edit picks for the players or let them go back to update a pick. Our league has had several issues over the years where picks don't save or they can't update on Sunday morning. If the player can get an update to the commissioner about what they intended to do, the commissioner should be able to decide if they want to make a manual update.

This is very helpful for a 2QB league. We want to limit each team to 4 QB's. It would be 3, but we want to give the flexibility for teams to add a rookie who could win the starting job.

I could swear this was a feature in the past that is now gone. Regardless, it's an important feature when you want to run a 2qb league with 8 or 10. You don't want several people to draft 4 qbs and then in bye weeks there are no qbs left to pick up for the guy who only drafted 2. If you impose a 3qb limit in a 10 team league, this should nearly eliminate the ability for someone to game the system this way.
Also, more context on running a 2qb league... playing with so few people (8 or 10) makes the single QB league's QBs have almost no value, but adding a 2nd qb makes it really important. You might actually see someone trade a QB for a RB for instance.

In the rosters of the commissioners, there should be another category for the amount of offense and defense players you're suppose to have. Say the most you can have is max limit 15 off. and 15 def. So nobody can get away with having more than the other.

Would like for there to be a way to limit the amount of players per position to be rostered by a manager. In a 2 QB league especially it would be helpful to limit it to 3 or 4 to prevent guys from stacking their rosters with QBs.

I don't want in a league with this rule.
It would force teams to have very 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. -

Players should be able to set the "shape" of their lineup when they have to autodraft. For example, I want to draft 2 QBs, 3 RBs, 5 WRs, etc.
I was unable to participate in my league's live draft this year, but entered an extensive list of player rankings. I ended up with an A+ draft on paper, but it had a backup kicker and IDPs, and only 2 RBs and 3 WRs. As you might guess, that didn't work out so well.
It seems for players who have to autodraft, it should be possible to indicate the maximum number of players to be drafted at each position to avoid this problem.

CBS, ESPN, and others have this option. Please add option to limit the number of players a team can roster per position. Stop the RB hording!

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. -

This "problem" is not really the problem.
The true "problem" involves how a league's commissioner sets up the scoring system.
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 good 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.
So, just reduce the value of RBs & QBs and watch this "problem" disappear. -

I think this is a NEEDED option for the Commish to utilize (whether in private or public leagues). It is better to have it and need it,than not have it. So if this functionality becomes available, if you choose not to use, then that's fine for that league.

Allow league commissioners to impose position limits in private leagues

If it exists for public and pro leagues, how hard would it be to extend to private leagues? Would make life a lot easier on league commissioners.

I would hate to join a league and then have the Commish put in a rule which limits how many players I can have in each position.
It's not necessary. It's not needed. It's not helpful. -
