Scoring - Position specific scoring categories
This scoring setting change would allow commissioners to change the scoring value for common scoring categories for each position (QB/RB/WR/TE) individually. For example, a commissioner could make receptions 1 point for WRs and RBs but 2 points for TEs. Currently you can only change the scoring value for all positions at once.

I have a league where we have an enhanced scoring metric for yardage (rushing and receiving), in order to help offset points that are awarded for Touchdowns and passing yards.
Basically, in our league 100 yards rushing or receiving is worth 15 points rather than just 10.
(0.66666 yards is needed to earn 1 point, instead of 10 yards needed to score 1 point).Here's our issue though... Quarterbacks that rush for a lot of yards are also benefiting from this enhanced metric. And there are only a few QBs in the league that rush for a large number of yards. This gives them a disproportionately significant advantage with rushing yardage being such a big factor. It slants the league in favor of the few teams that have heavily rushing QBs, and impacts the draft negatively.
Here's my suggestion:
Add in a simple scoring setting feature that toggles the QB position to be exempt from the customizable setting for the rushing/receiving yards metric.
In other words, in your system have QB rushing/receiving yards be its own category, separate from skill player's rushing/receiving yards. That way QBs will still just earn the basic points for rushing (10 yards = 1 point), while the other positions (RB/WR/TE) can have their yardage scoring customized.
It's a big distortion to have QB rushing yardage tethered to the other positions as it currently is.There are other platforms allowing for this type of customization, and if Yahoo wants to stay at the preferred cutting edge of fantasy sports, these types of settings are a vital aspect to include.
Thank you.

TE Premium is becoming more popular amongst the FFB community. Can You make an option to add additional PPR points for TE only?

Most other sites allow different scoring by position. For example, there is no way on Yahoo to create a TE premium league because the points per reception have to be the same for all positions. It would also be great to be able to reduce the value of rushing yards for QBs. Please help!

Add tight end premium as an option for scoring in all leagues

TE premium scoring. Our league wants to include TE premium scoring this year and your site doesn't allow for it which means I'll have to move our league to one of your competitors just for a scoring adjustment. Thats bad business

I'm not sure if this is already available if it is, could you please let me know where to find it? I'm trying to make the TE position earn more points per catch than the others, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it.

I want to be able to adjust scoring to all positions. This would make all Yahoo Fantasy football leagues completely customizable. Thank You for hearing my request.

Can Yahoo expand their scoring setting to SPECIFIC POSITION settings. I would love to increase the values of TEs and RBs in my league. As it currently stands a reception has to be equal for all positions. Yardage totals being position specific would be great also.

I was hoping that Yahoo added position specific scoring. Please add this to all Fantasy football leagues and formats! Thank You

This should have been done years ago!

I would like to set PPR based on position. For example, 0.5 PPR for WRs and 1.0 PPR for RBs, instead of applying the same PPR to all positions.

Adding an option for scoring for the TE position only, Having the ability to adjust the PPR and bonus points options for this position.. This position is getting harder and harder to keep in the league without converting it to a flex.. just would like an option to add value to that position.

Hope you implement this immediately! Thanks for listening.

settings should be available for all positions. You don't have options for separate scoring settings for Tight Ends

The fact this was posted 3 years ago and we still cannot do this is a disgrace. No wonder so many private leagues are leaving to go to Sleeper

Patrick Lee commented
Is there anyway we can have a separate scoring for receptions on the TE position?
Also can we add a RB/TE (flex)? there is only WR/TE and RB/WR option.

Premium scoring is the new wave. Many other apps utilize it. Let's join in on the fun!
