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
- Forced Fumbles (D/STs)
- QB Hits (IDPs)

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

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.

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.

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!

It adds PPP and SHP, both of which are currently categories.
It would be a good addition with hopefully little coding effort.

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.

100% agreed! Even if we could just do one point per PI drawn, at least that's SOMETHING

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..

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).

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.

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.
