This seems like a no brainer good idea

Give us another FG category of 60+ yard makes and misses (60 is the new 50). 60-yarders are rare, but are huge plays.

I'd like to see 4th down stops for defensive scoring, as well as forcing a 3 & out.

Let’s add penalty yards as an option. For example, your receiver draws a pass interference call. Allow for the wide receiver (and qb) to get those penalty yards at a point value of your choosing. And then on the flip side of your player gets called for taunting or offsides or holding or false start or illegal motion or whatever the call against your player is. Make those penalty yards either plus or minus depending on the penalty. Some would help your player and some would count against your player. Depending on the nature of the penalty. Or just pass interference calls allow the receiver that drew that penalty to get the yardage counted towards his player’s stats. At a point per penalty yards of your choosing. Like maybe only a half a point per pentalty yard. Whereas your league may could have a different point rate for regular yardage

Not sure if the NHL or anybody tracks this, but I think shot assists would be a cool stat. You would get points for a pass that leads to a shot on net.

Suggestion . Points for defense knocking down a pass (.25 or .50) points

My league enjoys yards and points allowed by the defense scoring, as it gives a better indication of how the defense played. However, the ranges for yards and points allowed are too large, especially yards allowed. If yahoo offered custom yards allowed, each league could alter what they think is appropriates scoring for yards/points allowed. If we do not have the option to alter the setting, then please make the yards allowed 50 yard increments and not 100 yard.

I lost my championship game, but out performed my oroiginal projection by 15 points. My grade? and F... AND I lost profile points. HOw is it I grind all year, make it to the playoffs, even the championships and LOSE points becuase I take second??!!! I should have come in 5th and not lost as many points. It's really lame - even though I know they are fake internet points, it's just annoying. Also, how did I get an F?? The logic to these things makes no sense.

Some hate using Defense. Some like it. This would give GMs the option. Thanks for your consideration!

The big guys need some love. I'd really love individual offensive linemen, but team linemen would be a great start. Punters should get some love, too.
Offensive linemen (team) scoring could include bonuses for rushing for 100/150/more yards in a game. Individuals could include pancakes and penalties for sacks given up.
Punter scoring would be points for average punt yardage in the game and points for punts inside the 20/10/5.

Yahoo admin, my leauge has some weird math being done and the recap is all wrong. This is wreaking havoc on finalizing who actually is the champion. At the end of the PIT v CLE game there was a 0.6 point differential in championship but as of this AM 3 point difference in total but if you add up the individual player scores it adds up to what was shown last night. I don't see any stat corrections overnight. Please assist. Thanks.

Add kicking stats as an option to team defense
For example if you drafted the ravens def you would have their kicker stats also..would eliminate having to draft a kicker

If a player loses a point for a stat correction on tfl (Jordyn Brooks), how come the team Def was not deducted a tfl point also (Seattle)?

Include the ability to choose to get notifications of opponents scores (TDs, big plays, etc.) during matches.

Now that teams are going for 4th down more and more often, defensive scoring should reflect that. It is a turnover and should be worth a couple pts. When you stop someone of 4th and goal, thats just as big as a pick or fumble

Jason Mathews commented
I need a scoring option which provides wins to the top half of my league each week. Head to head has always made little sense to me and the only reason it seems to exist is to be similar to the NFL matchup based scheduling. Please institute this option as it is a more accurate assessment of the best teams each week.
Breaking up scoring for each position would also be a great improvement (IE rushing yards for qbs different than Rbs, or adjusting PPR per position)

The TE option is so barren. Create a 1.5 PPR incentive exclusive to TE so that they’re actually worth drafting and streaming. The position is essentially meaningless for FFL, much like a K.
