Scoring - General feedback and requests
General feedback regarding scoring options and requests for new scoring options and categories. Some common category requests are:
- Goal Line Stops
- Penalty Yards
- Customizable Points Allowed Options
- Successful Onside Kicks
- Touchbacks for Kickers
- Dropped passes

Could do this similarly to the new field goal scoring, where commissioners set values for yards allowed or points allowed that equate to -1 point. For example, if I set 100 yards allowed to -1 point, then 500 yards allowed would be -5 points. And then I could do the same thing with points allowed, where maybe I set 10 points allowed to be -1 fantasy points, so 28 points allowed in a game would be -2.8 points.
And could add in the ability to count from some non-zero number set by the commissioner. E.g. 300 yards. Yards allowed beyond 300 could lead to negative points and yards allowed below 300 could be positive points.

There wasn't a link for fantasy hockey, only baseball and football, so I used the generic sports link. Face offs are one of the most important trackable stats in hockey. To count only "faceoffs won" is foolish, because someone could lose 60% of their faceoffs, but still win a lot due to how many total faceoffs they take. To account for faceoffs won AND faceoffs lost, you'd currently have to use two stat categories to accomplish this. If yahoo would include an option for Faceoff %, this would only be a single (very important) stat that would give a clear picture of how good a given player is at winning faceoffs. If you count this stat the same way as you count batting average or ERA in baseball (by combining all players' earned stats and coming up with the team's percentage), this one simple move would vastly improve yahoo's fantasy hockey experience. Other fantasy services have offered this stat for many years now. Obviously hockey is not as important to yahoo as more popular fantasy sports like football or baseball, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to offer the best possible product. Thanks.

I completely agree, D/ST should have a category added to give them points for the recovery of a kick not already credited as a fumble by the receiving team.

Also, a fumble recovery is typically worth 2 points..

Miles Bassett commented
Kickers should be awarded for their clutch onside kicking abilities, if recovered of course ;)

Under scoring settings in commish tools> defensive yardage, make the yardage scoring settings less "chunky" for commissioners. I plan to make this scoring setting HEAVILY INFLUENTIAL next year in my league and need the setting to be less "chunky" and more precise, just like the rest of the scoring (like wr, rbs, qb scoring settings).
Additionally, I would like the same to be done for points allowed by defenses. Points allowed by defenses is "doled out" in chunks as well in commish tools. Why not make these settings precise like all the other settings in commish tools? (wrs, rbs, qbs).

3 years later, and no update? :)

Players taking penalties are already rewarded - why aren't those that draw penalties, and actually benefit their team?

I was posting this exact same thing! I almost lost a game tonight because my WR fumbled the football on a punt return, but if that same player were to run it back for a touchdown, he would be awarded no points. Makes no sense.

You guys have gotten WAY TOO CAUGHT UP IN BS!
#1 you can do with Edit team scoring
#2 way too play specific
#3 at catch is a catch weather is for a yard or 50 yards
#4 you would have to have offensive line players
#5 3 points is 3 points weather it's 20 or 60 it's 3 points. Where you all get off track is you want extra point just draft the guy who kicked the most 50+ yarders.
#6 too detailed
#7 onside kicks are practically eliminated why mess with them
#8 PPR should not even exist anymore see rant at the end
#9 insane it would take you all day Monday to figure all this meaningless stuff out. I'm getting real tired reading all this
#10 as commish you can change any position at any time your job is to be fair about it.
#11 non sense a player catches a pass for an 11 yard loss should be deducted. This goes against all the above you have been preaching.
#12 only thing that has made sense but reminder hoarding kills leagues
#13 the new NFL kick off rules have made it a completely meaningless play. The NFL needs to change that. It used to be the most exciting play of the game. The No Fun League has ruined that.You are so far out of control there is literally no chance of saving you, You are pretty much asking for play by play scoring.
Fantasy is based on the game which now a days means nothing.
Why do you think basic scoring was 10 per point & QB 20 per pass?
It's all based on moving the chains, 10 yards for a first down equals 10 yards per point.When fantasy was started the NFL was a rushing league it was not uncommon for a RB to get 40 points.
Then came computers & computer geeks who made up PPR to get WR's points because it was rare for a WR to get 20 points.Enter 2018 PPR is no longer necessary because now the NFL is a passing league.
Last year ALL WR's averaged 13 yards a catch. So if your league is scoring higher than that you are only shooting yourself in the foot.That's all WR from Michael Thomas to Quincy Enunwa's 1 catch for -4 yards. So imagine how much higher that number actually is for JUST the top 50!
Everyone the says what about the 5 or 8 yard catch well that was likely in a 3 & out situation each team punted about 65 times last year so not every play deserves points.
Even TE averaged over 10 yards per catch & that's from Travis Kelce's 79 catches to Eric Tomlinson's 1 catch for 1 yard. Again imagine how high that number is for JUST the top 30!
Right now in 2020 there should be no PPR when using basic scoring. Again if you are at more than 1 point per 10 yards you are defeating the purpose.
With all those suggestions I can't believe you left out punters!
Get back to basics & chill out man you are way out of control.

I also agree with #8.
For PPR, have a ability to differentiate the PPR amount between RB's, WR's, and TE's, example: Receptions RB= .5, Receptions WR= 1, Receptions TE= 1.5
This will help solve the over inflated value of certain RB's.

Please implement this. So many games that people got cheated by PI and this would help with animosity over that a ton.

Michael Popovnak commented
No measurable quality with this stat - defense-men can have 25-minutes of TOI and be a -4 for plus/minus in a 7-0 loss and he's going to help win a category? Doesn't add up.

Colin Sydejko commented
This is one of the most demanded and hoped-for changes my league wishes to see occur.
-
Colin Sydejko commented
I would rather have Takeaways as an added peripheral than something arbitrary like TOI

Some times, pass interference is the best that a D-Back can do.
In real NFL life, coaches and QBs take note of the penalty and throw the ball at that receiver again, hoping for another penalty.
Those penalties keep drives alive.
So, yes, the receiver should receive a Fantasy Football reward.
However, "half the yardage that the pass would have gone" is a difficult stat to find.
So, a standard number of points (2 points?) would be the easiest way to administer this stat. -

Regardless of whether a kick-off is onside or squib or regular,
the kicking team should be awarded points each time / every time
the kicking team gets possession of the ball. -

1. Scoring a point (or half point) for each touchback seems reasonable and easy to add to the game.
2. This idea would be an extra complication without being good football. The previous scores were necessary before a last-minute kick could be a "game winner." And, why should only kickers be rewarded for a "game winner" score?
3. Leagues with IDP's already have this idea in their scoring.
4. This idea has potential. Any time on onside kick is successful, credit the Kicker for a fumble recovery. We should also probably credit the player who captured the ball with a fumble recovery. -

I mean, at least have the option for either.

I'd love to see Shootout Goals as a category
