Tell me what I have to do, and I'll do it.

This change should be easy to make. The computer code should be almost identical to yardage for passing, rushing, and receiving. The big difference is to have DEFs score fewer points as more yardage is accumulated against them in a game.
I suggest that the Commish of a league enter the "Maximum DEF points for yardage" and then enter the "Reduction per yard yielded" by the DEF. -

Please consider awarding points to defenses that successfully complete an onside kick.

This needs to be implemented for category leagues. Power play points are good, but we'd like to count shorthanded points as well - problem is if SHP is counted as its own category then it'd be more or less a luck based category since most teams wont rack up very many SHP each week. A STP category combining PPP and SHP would be perfect, adding value to players who play shorthanded while eliminating the luck aspect of winning or losing an entire category just because one player decides to score shorthanded that week.

Similar to wide receivers throwing a touchdown in football and it counting towards fantasy points, goals and assists that a goalie is awarded in real life should count toward fantasy points

on your NHL roster "My team" or looking at other manager's team, matters if players have same amount of pts but played 20 games fewer. Huge diff this year with all the covid postponed games

agreed! time to step up your game, Yahoo.

Faceoff Wins is a staple category in my league, but it would be cool if there were some consequence for having a guy go 4/13 from the faceoff dot. FOW and FOL are separate categories... why not add one to combine them?

Major penalties should be a positive stat while minor penalties should be a negative stat
I've been ask for this for 20 years
I don't think it will happen

Yahoo hasn't added a Hockey category in 20 years. It would be nice to get some Next Gen stats. FO% would go well with FW category.
Giveaways and takeaways is a nice add. I would be shocked if they added any category
-
Ray Williams commented
Yahoo has had the same scoring categories for decades. Please add Takeaways, Giveaways, Faceoff percentage to name a few on Skating.
Over Time loss, Points (goal/Assist), Time on Ice for Goal tending.

If a goalie earns 2 points for a win and 1 point for an OT/SO loss for his team in real life, shouldn't we be able to have the option to add a stat value for an OT/SO loss in Fantasy?

Brian Russo commented
I like this idea...but, to my knowledge, DPI yardage isn't a tracked stat...I don't see how it could be done.

Chris A commented
Average Time On Ice (ATOI) should be a scoring category. This is a really fun stat that can make certain players more valuable and add a new strategic element when building a team.
-
Ben Colegrove commented
I'd like to see Kickers be able to score points for touchbacks. It gives kickers another level of scoring, turns the kickoff into a more relevant fantasy play and allows more league customization.

Reese Hogg commented
This needs to happen!

yeah, i agree. this would be fantastic to have included in scoring.
dumb penalties kill drives and should likewise kill fantasy managers. great idea. overdue.
ex: offsides, ineligible man downfield, illegal substitution, out & in of bounds, intentional grounding, facemask, roughing the kicker, leading with helmut, personal foul, unnecessary roughness, kick out of bounds, excessive celebration, illegal formation, taking helmut off, ...
it would be awesome to experience how infuriating it is to be an NFL head coach. hahahahahahha!

kevin =:p commented
yes!! that's what i've been wishing for, for a long time now! (-) points adds so much frustration to playing it would be an awesome feature to have!!

he said this isn't possible, but that was in 2017. it is 2020 now. are these statistics tracked?yahoo: can you do this?
-
David Goodburn commented
It adds PPP and SHP, both of which are currently categories.
It would be a good addition with hopefully little coding effort.

Mike Caputo commented
Yahoo is only allowed to use official NFL stats so they have their hands tied. It would be nice to be able to create your own defensive yards allowed categories to make them more in line with the NFL average.
