    I'd like to see a league option for best ball scoring. Meaning I don't need to lock in an active roster at kick-off. My best scores will fill-in the roster spots. Team managers can still work trades and waivers each week before kick-off. Believe this could help make leagues competitive when there is a mix of manager experience (e.g. with several beginners).

    Defense scoring updated to retract more points for after +35 scored on.
    IE: Denver v Miami 70 Points scored on.

    Would love to see the ability to give WRs points for drawing pass int penalties.

    Eagles D got ripped off by Yahoo last night. They forced 4 turnovers against the Vikings but only got credit for 3 fumble recoveries. The most important turnover they created went out the back of the end zone so the team did not get credit for a fumble recovery, which is absurd since it's still clearly a turnover. Please fix this, Yahoo.

    Please add “forced fumbles” and “passes defended” for team defense scoring. Would really like to add these as points for team defense.

    Add QB hits to scoring options for leagues that incorporate idp.

  • Matthew Schusler commented  ·   ·  Report

    Tight End Premium should be one of the highest priority additions. It would be very simple to implement and is standard in higher stakes fantasy leagues. Also more DST point tiers than just the 7 that are in there now. 3 of the 7 are for teams scoring <13 points which isn’t very common. Maybe an option for 0 to be like 12 points and each point scored is -.5 fantasy points?

    For those who like the FG position in fantasy football... Add an option to score field goals 1 point per 10 yards with fractional scoring. A 19 yard is worth 1.9 points. A 28 yard is worth 2.8 points. A 61 yard is worth 6.1 points.

    Allow bonus points to be awarded for kickers who score a game winning field goal.

  • Thomas Meyer commented  ·   ·  Report

    Could we add another category?
    Draft a head Coach
    1 pt for a win
    1 pt for a loss
    -5 points for being fired during the season

    I would like to add a scoring category for punters since punt returns have basically been taken out of the game. Would make a otherwise boring play scoreable. For instance, when fake punts happen and is a pass nobody gets points. With my idea the punter would be eligible for those passing yards. Another is punts inside the 20 are 2pts, punts inside the 10 are 3 and inside the 5 worth 4. Touchbacks would be -2. Could do punt distance as well. 40yd punt 1pt 50yd 2pt and 55+ 3pts. And now basically every play in a game can and will be scored. Definitely willing to tweek something's and any feedback will be appreciated

    You can't have the same score for a 51 yard field goal and a 63 yard field goal at a key juncture in the game, 60+ should be 7 points.

  • John Chen commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's a good idea to give more points to 60+ field goals made.

  • Peter Tamura commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can we make a category for 60+ field goals? There have been 30 + in the NFL and it's a rare event that can turn around the results of a team

  • ANTHONY FEWELL commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please allow us to customize the Points per reception for each position. Our league would like to make PPR for TEs higher than WRs and RBs.

  • Danny Arroyo commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am commissioner of my Yahoo league. For years I’ve been saying for Yahoo Fantasy Football to include minus points on all dropped passes. A QB that throws an incomplete pass gets minus points even if it’s the WR fault cause they dropped the ball.

    Will Yahoo ever implement dropped passes in fantasy football? Thanks.

  • Jon Brooks commented  ·   ·  Report

    For your public games, update it to reflect modern fantasy football. Include 12 man leagues, superflex , extra flex spots, full ppr scoring. Most people who play aren’t newbies. Have a newbies league if u like but recognize that the fantasy player base is more sophisticated that want more complicated elements.you would have more players playing your public leagues instead of turning to custom leagues

  • Richard Maher commented  ·   ·  Report

    p.s. My buddy's league 127693 uses 40 Yd TD categories for pass/rec/rush and those are all zeroes as well.

  • Richard Maher commented  ·   ·  Report

    Any progress on case number 15566943 ? My player list (2022 season totals) is still showing zeroes for passing/receiving/rushing 1st downs, pick sixes, fumbles (total and lost), D/ST and IDP kickoff/punt return yards and TDs.
    Thanks, Ric, league 232630
