    Adding one more stat line would be a simple task. Kickers should be rewarded same as any other skill position. Not many have the confidence of their team to allow them to try from their opponents side of the field. Over 40 yds is 4 pts, 50+ is 5, 60+ should be 6. No brainer in my opinion.

    Regarding kicker points: Yahoo added the option of accounting for "Field Goals Total Yards". So I award all field goals made (FGM) 3 points regardless of distance and the have the yardage option set at 40 yards per point (so a 40 yard FG is still 4 points, but a 45 yard field goal is 4.13 points). This is a precise method for scoring field goals whether they are 21 yards or 61 yards without kicker scoring getting out of hand by awarding 6 points for 60 yard field goals, the same as we award for touchdowns.

    Kickers are getting better, so a 50 yard kick is more like what a 40 yard kick use to be 15 to 20 years ago. And another tier for kicking points: 50 to 59 and 60+.

  • Henry Richards commented  ·   ·  Report

    why is my team not Scoring. admittedly I did not put Ga
    no in the kicking spot. but Ended up putting a kicker in later. I should have still scoring even with 8 players

  • Joseph Espiritu commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agree with Rich on 60 yarder field goals being 6 points! They are rare but should factor into the increment of: 20+ yards and under 40 = 3 points, 40 yards and under 50 =4, and 50 yards and under 60 yards should = 5. Logically 60 + yards should be 6 points. Changing the code would not be that difficult.

  • Paul Caraccio commented  ·   ·  Report

    add a stat line for 60+ yard FGs. my league does 3 pts for up to 39 yards, 4 for 40-49, and 5 for 50+, we'd like to do 6 for 60+

    This would be great!

  • Edward Zaleski commented  ·   ·  Report

    yahoo needs to check fantasy scoring on L A Rams. 24 pts against should be 0 Pts not 1

  • Edward Zaleski commented  ·   ·  Report

    yahoo needs to check L A rams def scoring. Scoring for L A rams def pts should be 0 for 24 pts

    I would like to see tab for league rules.

  • Sean Santiago commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am considering developing an efficiency based scoring custom league next year. Most of my ideas Yahoo provides a way to implement but one idea I had was to give -.1pts per target to receivers. This would reward WR's who tend to get more separation for easier completions, make contested catches, and avoid drops. It would also be a .6 point ppr league so you would essentially still get a half point if you catch the ball. But it's a stat that yahoo already tracks so it should be very easy to implement as a custom option in leagues. I'm marking this "critical" just because I would really like to implement it next year and I know that it would take some time to implement on Yahoo's end.

    Smaller increments for 'yards allowed' and 'points allowed'. Add passes defended, fumbles forced, and ESCPECIALLY punts forced.

  • Ross Marcinkowska commented  ·   ·  Report

    Defensive Scoring and LD and RD positions would be a GREAT feature to add as well!!

  • Alexander Thiel commented  ·   ·  Report

    Adding a punter position and stat line for net punt yards and coffin corner kicks. Would be a nice new position to add

  • Matt Danko commented  ·   ·  Report

    Allow the option to create a weekly head to head categories league for fantasy football, like you can in all of the other fantasy sports yahoo offers.

  • Alejandro Medina commented  ·   ·  Report

    I love the rotisserie scoring system, and I think that it would be awesome to play a Fantasy Football rotisserie league.

  • Jimmy Football commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes I would mark this as critical to the upcoming season. More flexible scoring for defenses points allowed especially! (Have ability to make all points allowed the same value or just simply add more tiers.

    ESPN has additional tiers but sleeper allows for a total points allowed metric. This way the points subtracted for points allowed are all the same and wouldn’t be as severe as the arbitrary tiers!

    Leagues should have 10 teams instead of 12, too many dead teams with dead players in the COVID era.
    Weekly adds needs to be 6, 4 isn't enough with injuries and COVID
    When Yahoo does 2 weeks instead of one, can't have adds at 4 or my proposed 6, injuries' and COVID make it near impossible to field a team at times.
    Goalie minimums should be 180 minutes not 3 games, a goalie playing for 2 minutes isn't playing a whole game and shouldn't count as a whole game
