How can we make Fantasy Football better?

← Fantasy Football

Scoring - Team Position Points

This scoring setting credits all points scored by a specific position on an NFL team to the manager who rosters them. Most commonly, team QBs are used in this scenario. For example, if Russell Wilson gets hurt, the team that started him would get the points from Geno Smith for the rest of the game. Currently we don't offer this setting.

    Please Please Please can you make the setting for QB to be a team QB setting? I have a 10 team league and we start 2 QB's. That makes waiver wire for QB's extremely difficult. I tell my teams in my league to only roster 3 QB's because that way it is equal to all. But when injuries happen this becomes a mess. If we have team QB that problem goes away. So please please please add this setting for next year. You could also add team kicker too. Your competitor ESPN has this setting but I prefer using Yahoo.

    By adding the option for using team quarter backs instead of just the player

  • Timothy Pagano commented  ·   ·  Report

    This idea is a winner, but use it for running back, wide receiver, tight end, and kicker as well as quarterback. I've had a running back or wide receiver get injured and out of the game early and it totally blows up my chance to win for that week. This eliminates that problem because for instance any running back that enters the game that week for that team scores points for you. Secondly it eliminates the problem with the running back by committee. Many running backs do not get picked for a fantasy team because they are part of a running back by committee. This eliminates that problem because you would be selecting all the running backs on a team instead of an individual player. Thirdly many players never factor into a fantasy team because they rarely, if ever, get selected as individual players. This again eliminates that problem because any wide receiver, for instance, that catches the ball scores points for you. Your lineup for each week would look something like this:

    San Francisco 49ers Quarterbacks
    Pittsburgh Steelers Running Backs
    Miami Dolphins Wide Receivers
    Minnesota Vikings Wide Receivers
    Dallas Cowboys Tight Ends
    Denver Bronco Kickers
    Baltimore Ravens Defense

    Again, this eliminates the problem of injured players and by committee lineups and gets all the skill players on a team involved in the scoring. Highly urge Yahoo to make this an option along with the regular head to head and points scoring options.

    So, instead of having Josh Allen on my fantasy team I would have Buffalo QB. That would allow points to continue to accumulate regardless if it is the starter or the back up in the game.

  • Christopher Ritter commented  ·   ·  Report

    Allow kickers and quarterbacks to be selected like def/sp teams (aka by team not by player)

  • Kevin Walker commented  ·   ·  Report

    We tried Yahoo for the first time last year but our league is voting soon on changing to a league that has the option for team QB's. At least you till still have a QB in the lineup when the starter goes out at any point during the game. On average, that 1 position/player has the most points every week in our league. You almost always lose when he goes down early in the game using individuals.

  • Richard Maher commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'd like to see this as an option in Yahoo. You may gain some users who play in ESPN solely for their TQB (as well as Punter and Head Coach) position options. I like to do both individual QB for the risk/reward and TQB just to have a unique setting to convince managers to play in multiple leagues.
    As a compromise, would this be possible? ... Allow us roster positions of "Starters" and "Backups" and, prior to kickoff, Yahoo designates quarterbacks as "SQB" or "BQB" and then managers can have fun deciding whether they want both QBs from the same NFL team to play it safe or go with the most likely backup to see action ... perhaps the backup to your weekly opponent's starter so that, if they are benched or injured, it's a win/win.

  • Don Knott commented  ·   ·  Report

    Designate on bench your back up Player QB/RB/WR. If a player is knocked out of a game, you can replace that player with a back up player and continue to score points.

  • Hasan Soliman commented  ·   ·  Report

    I also have one question and I’m wondering why yahoo hasn’t done this yet. CBS has their site set up so that for whatever QB you start on a team so that if your QB let’s say for example gets injured in the first quarter then whoever the backup for that team is comes in and you get the backup's points for the remind of the game so that you’re not completely screwed.

    So for example if you drafted Dak Prescott it calls your QB the Dallas Cowboys QB in your starting lineup. If he gets hurt at any point in the game the backup comes in automatically for your for Dallas.

    This is a great feature that any fantasy player would love. So many people lose games and get screwed because the QB gets hurt during the game. Will yahoo implement this feature like CBS?

  • RJax commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please consider this option:

    ... where a manager receives stats for all QBs who play for an NFL team.

    Example: If you have Kyler Murray, the Cardinals QBs and he gets hurt in the first quarter, you'll get all the points put up by his replacement(s) like Colt McCoy for the remainder of the game.

    You won't have to have both Murray and McCoy on your roster. Just having one QB from a team will activate the team points.

  • Lisa Kautzman commented  ·   ·  Report

    In the player stats, add receptions, receiving yards and receiving TDs to the RBs and add rushing yards and rushing TDs to the QBs, WRs and TEs.

  • Troy Anderson commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have a better solution. Each team selects one Alternate from their bench every week. If a QB, RB or WR is ruled OUT in the 1st quarter of their game, the alternate is subbed in. The alternate must be from a flex position (RB, WR, TE).

    The player must be ruled OUT (not questionable, but does not return), and it must occur in the 1st quarter. Think carted off, street clothes on the sideline, etc. Each manager could select the alternate every week, or if they don't make a selection, Yahoo would auto-select based on the highest projected point total of any one player on the bench.

  • Lyle Ball commented  ·   ·  Report

    we would use this for qb's and kickers.....

  • Jjacobsr commented  ·   ·  Report

    Draft QB,WR,RB,TE,K by team instead of individuals. Then there's no issues with certain individuals not playing. You could draft CLE RB, and get whoever is playing: Chubb, Hunt, Johnson, etc

    This would enable persons to play without worrying about game time decisions, or IR status of a player, you'd still get points for the backups.

  • matt matt commented  ·   ·  Report

    Give us the qb by committee option like espn does

  • p Jack commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo should have QB auto handcuff in rosters. Lost 3 qbs during games this year. lost 2 of them 3 weeks and WFT week 15 lose carr in semi's It's long over due

  • Laura R commented  ·   ·  Report

    Add TQB as an alternative to QB. This way you don't need to waste a roster space on backup QB. Also important if QB gets hurt then you continue gaining points from backup QB. QB points value stay the same just viewing it as a team rather than individual.

  • Matt Lauwers commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you have Mahomes on Monday night or Sunday night or sometimes just at a 1pm game and he tests positive and its announced just before you would most likely be screwed unless you rostered his two backups which would be ridiculous. Most leagues lock adds at 10am on Sundays and there probably wouldnt be any options left. In a normal season the injury report comes out a few days before.

    Thank You
