    Enhanced way of scoring the median. Please read below:

    Problem: median scoring, while great, doesn't reward teams on a weekly basis for higher point totals.

    Solution: Weekly Stack Rank vs The Median

    Every week, the top half vs the median will get wins. However, rather than 1 win, they get stack ranked. I.e. in a 12 team league, the weekly high point getter would get 6 wins, the 2nd highest would get 5 wins, 3rd highest would get 4 wins, 4th highest would get 3 wins, 5th highest would get 2 wins and the 6th highest would get 1 win. Teams 7-12 would get 0 wins.

    This would be a great alternative to the current median system as it incentivizes teams to score more than just against the median, it's also more competitive than straight points and much less based on the luck factor of H2H.

    Please look into this system as it would be a huge win for the FF community! Thanks!

    Please add the option to allow scoring when a receiver draws a pass interference penalty.

    Currently Yahoo does not award points for fumble recoveries to offensive players. They will only award points if there is a change of possession. This does not make any sense as a fumble recovery is an official stat regardless of change of possession.

    For example, if a QB fumbles the ball, and you have a RB,WR, or TE that recovers the fumble, you will not receive any points if your league settings awards points for recoveries.

    Can we please get this changed? This is simply because Yahoo has it set up this way and there is no way to change it unless they do.

    Any chance to add offensive lines for extended/deep formats?

    Add downing punts inside 10yd line to DST. Or 20yd line or 5yd or whatever. Or add punters as positional groups. Punting is waaaaay overlooked in fantasy.

    Hello Yahoo. Thanks you for your Fantasy Football. I would like to suggest the option of adding a scoring feature if the player's team actually wins or loses the game. Hypothetically +1 point for the team win, -1 for the team loss with flexibility to adjust the +- for various positions. I suppose this could apply to any player but this should apply principally to the team defense (+- 3 points?). The D deserves something if the team wins IMO. Thanks, Blair Kendall.

    Excellent! Need to allow interception yardage to be added to defense. I.e. 1 point for every x yards returned.

  • Rick Gorskie commented  ·   ·  Report

    On interceptions... can you add a selection (on defense) to add points for the yardage accumulated? Defense would get 1 point for every "x" yards.

    1.5 PPR for TE position.

    TE bonus has become very popular over the last few years, this really needs to be a scoring option.

    Can you add an option for H2H playoffs at the end of a Roto season. It would be nice if teams lower in the standings had a reason to keep managing their team if say the top 8 teams make the playoffs over the final 3 weeks of the season. Sports are about the playoffs and I think Roto leagues are lacking in this regard.

    I would love it if yahoo offered points for pass interference drawn by WR’s. These are huge game changing plays that result in no fantasy points. My idea would be to give 1/2 point per yard for yards gained due to pass interference penalties. Many times a WR is wide open and gets interfered with as the only option to prevent a big play. This is a huge yardage gained but doesn’t result in any fantasy points. This would be an awesome feature for yahoo leagues moving forward. Thank you for your consideration.

    This Suggestion has been up for 2 years now. Have any of these been added? This thread is ranked 1st. In particular, the ability for Commissioners to fully customize Points Allowed rather than be constrained by Yahoo's Setting is by far the most important one on here. Can this be added next year please?

    1st 6:27 - ARI 2nd & 10, at ARI 25
    Kyler Murray passed to Geoff Swaim to the left for 26 yard gain, tackled by Ji'Ayir Brown

    This pass went to Trey McBride

    Partial credit for penalty yards drawn has been talked about for years in our league

  • Joshua Sturm commented  ·   ·  Report

    Points per Penalty yard drawn would be revolutionary. Absolutely would love to see this ASAP

  • Jim Donnelly commented  ·   ·  Report

    Make fieldgoals worth what they are example 47 yard fieldgoal worth 4.7 points more fair partial points like you do with qb rb and wrs
