- QB Hits (IDPs)

No measurable quality with this stat - defense-men can have 25-minutes of TOI and be a -4 for plus/minus in a 7-0 loss and he's going to help win a category? Doesn't add up.

This is one of the most demanded and hoped-for changes my league wishes to see occur.

I would rather have Takeaways as an added peripheral than something arbitrary like TOI

Some times, pass interference is the best that a D-Back can do.
In real NFL life, coaches and QBs take note of the penalty and throw the ball at that receiver again, hoping for another penalty.
Those penalties keep drives alive.
So, yes, the receiver should receive a Fantasy Football reward.
However, "half the yardage that the pass would have gone" is a difficult stat to find.
So, a standard number of points (2 points?) would be the easiest way to administer this stat. -

Regardless of whether a kick-off is onside or squib or regular,
the kicking team should be awarded points each time / every time
the kicking team gets possession of the ball. -

1. Scoring a point (or half point) for each touchback seems reasonable and easy to add to the game.
2. This idea would be an extra complication without being good football. The previous scores were necessary before a last-minute kick could be a "game winner." And, why should only kickers be rewarded for a "game winner" score?
3. Leagues with IDP's already have this idea in their scoring.
4. This idea has potential. Any time on onside kick is successful, credit the Kicker for a fumble recovery. We should also probably credit the player who captured the ball with a fumble recovery. -

I mean, at least have the option for either.

I'd love to see Shootout Goals as a category

When viewing available free agents on the players tab, please add a column for GP. Seeing the amount of games played next to a season total is essential. Switching to "average stats" doesn't help when you're a viewing a player who has played 2 games and averaged 1 assist per game. If you need the space, in my opinion, it's more essential than the season rank / pre-rank / adds / own %. I'm not saying to get rid of it, but make those numbers the ones you have to click on the player & view the pop up to see, and make GP one that can be used to compare players being viewed on the list.

Can even make it a combined category, where the stat is (takeaways - giveaways).

We have PPP, need ES points. Better than +/-

Expand the goalie points system - Possibility to allow 1 point for a OVERTIME/SO Loss!
Make it possible to add a number of bonus points for a hat trick.

Totally agree. I would also like "drawn penalties" as a kategory.

I've been ask this for years! Goalies should be able to gather fan points or even have extra point categories it just makes sense. For o e of the best websites to use for fantasy hockey. Adding these options should be an easy fix. Commissioners should have the options to allow them.

Stop giving kick/punt returners negative points for fumbles when their positive yards and touchdowns are credited to the DST. It’s all or nothing. It just doesn’t make sense.
Please make an option to give individual players ALL (good and bad) special teams points, or NOTHING. -

An addition such as this one would be an awesome addition to Yahoo Hockey. FanTrax has this. I'm going to pitch FanTrax to my league next season, for multiple reasons, this one included.

Now its even in the Yahoo boxscore. Give us these stat categories. I would rather have too many to choose from than not enough
