General feedback regarding scoring options and requests for new scoring options and categories. Some common category requests are:

- Customizable Points Allowed Options
- Successful Onside Kicks
- Touchbacks for Kickers
- Dropped passes
- Forced Fumbles (D/STs)
- QB Hits (IDPs)

Dropped passes are not an official scoring category in the NFL. There would be no statistical reference to use for scoring as a result.

Most leagues take points away for fumbles. It would be interesting and fun to have a stat category that allows for points to be taken away if a player drops a pass.

Shootout goals are such a big part of hockey now but are meaningless in yahoo fantasy hockey

I think this idea makes more sense with Punters than it does with Kickers.

As a custom scoring option, I think making kickers a part of defense/special teams makes perfect sense since in real life kickers are actually a part of the special teams. They would collect points for field goals made and extra points, but lose points for missed field goals/extra points. An argument against losing points for missed FGs/PATs has been if the kick was blocked it wasn't really the kickers fault, but this contends that argument because in that case, it's the entire special team's fault for letting the blocker through. I'd really like to see this available in custom scoring options and don't want to move my league from Yahoo to attain it.

Yawn. I'll never understand the need to find new point categories.

OT and S/O losses would be cool if it was somehow factored in to the W category. Wins worth 2 points and OT and S/O losses are worth 1.

I can tell you penalty related scoring will never be part of the game.
As to giving points to a player when their team wins, that won't happen either, because there is no way of knowing if the player contributed to the win.

Why not offer pts for pass interference yardage gained? You get those yards in real football and you certainly get yds/TDs erased for offensive penalties. So why not give the option for either full/fractional credit to QB/WR/RB/TE for yds gained via PI call?
Our league has been considering eliminating the kicker position because of randomness (perceived or real lack of skill to pick). Instead it would be nice to add an additional flex roster spot that was eligible as a kicker too. So you could play K/RB/WR/TE. You could play a kicker if you want a safer floor or play a WR if you need upside.
It would also be nice to add a bonus for players who's team won or loss. Some way to add value to winning players/teams.

ESPN has the punter as a part of their roster and I would like Yahoo to add this as an option.

In fantasy hockey, goalies are not eligible for scoring in offensive categories, by design.
Likewise in fantasy baseball, pitchers are not eligible to collect offensive stats and position players are not eligible to collect pitching stats, by design.

Review the NHL for the facts: Source: http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.htm?gameType=2&position=G&season=20142015&sort=wins&status=A&viewName=summary.

G's, like P's in baseball, are not eligible for certain scoring categories by design.

Below would bring all of the Stat Categories currently being used by the NHL.
OT = OT and/or S/O Losses
PIM = Penalty Minutes
TOI = Time On Ice
G = Goals
A = Assists -

I'd really like to see shootout scoring introduced into the Yahoo Fantasy. Seeing as shootouts play a huge role in the winning of a game, it would be great as a fantasy "GM" to have your players who score a shootout goal get something like half a point and shootout winners be one point.

I totally understand this complaint and had my understanding of it 'backwards' in my first season of fantasy hockey......but that's the way it is.....Yahoo.....

We should have the option to award points to D/ST for pinning the offence inside the 5 yard line on a punt.
The ST stands for special teams, right? Punt returns can count for points, why not punts?

Why is this closed and every time a suggestion of it is made, it is merged? If you have no intention of even listening to our requests, at least just tell us to ******** so we look into other leagues and stop hoping you'll actually adjust. These stats are already tracked and this would be a very simple edition.
