    Fred,

    Please pass it along to the development team and have them add a new drop down box option.

    I'm sure THOUSANDS of others will utilize this new and unique feature for 2x QB leagues. It makes sense, right??? If U can't find a QB to start, you shouldn't get an RB or WR, U get a QB or TE or nothing. Its fair, it makes sense, and gives an option during the bye weeks and when MULTIPLE QB's have been getting hurt over the past 2 yrs. This should be a "new and exciting" option that has only been needed in the past year. Making Yahoo on the cutting edge of new ideas for Fantasy Football. I've been running a league for 20yrs. Be on the TREND OF NEW IDEAS and help me help U.

    Thanks,

    Gregory Oeser

    Hello Gregory,

    Thank you for contacting Yahoo Sports. This is Fred from San Antonio, and I understand you're contacting us because you were inquiring about having a flex position added for QB/TE.

    While I cannot guarantee any new positions will be added I can pass along this suggestion to our team for further review. Thank you for providing this feedback, we appreciate you reaching out and expressing interest in having a new position added.

    If you have any other questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me. Have a good day, and pleasant playing! Thank you for choosing Yahoo Fantasy Sports!

    Thanks,

    in our league we are allowing kick return yards people in the W/R/T but this does not allow defensive backs to be slotted in. It will take some work on our part because if the player you put in this W/R/T does not get any return yards he then loses all of his points. He MUST have return yards so if you set up this KR category it will save me work

    Allow for choosing to separate Def and Special Teams into 2 roster positions/scoring.

  • DEVASTATOR J S commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've been lobbying for this for over a decade, as well as more clearly defining IDPs such as linebackers (middle, weak and strong) -- and safeties (strong and free).

    Optional addition of the Punter position. Punter score will depend on the final position of the ball on the field after a punt. For example, if the punted ball ends within the zero and the five yardline can earn more points than a punt that ends between the five and the ten yardline, etc.

    A blocked punt cand sustract points to the punter.

    Thanks

    Additional Positions: Punters, Offensive Linemen, Team Offense, Teams/Head Coaches (w/ scoring categories for Home Wins, Road Wins, Home Losses, Road Losses, Home/Road Ties, OT Wins/Losses, Points For, Points Against, Yards For, Yards Against, etc.)

    I would like to see public leagues have individual defensive players, rather than a team defense. A team roster would have all of the offensive players it has now, plus the kicker and IR spots, but instead of a team defense, it would have 2 defensive linemen, 2 linebackers, and 2 defensive backs.

    Allow user to setup positions for flex. Make Kickers and Def available as well.

  • Brandon commented  ·   ·  Report

    TE continues to be/has been a weak position when it comes to depth in fantasy football. Its no longer fair for all teams involved to be required to start a TE each week. Yahoo currently offers WR/RB/TE and WR/TE as flex alternatives to help resolve this issue.

    However, a new flex position of RB/TE is needed as a roster option for commissioners to choose from, and the reason, is because there needs to be an option that has no affect on the WR spot in fantasy football. There is a dearth of reliable WRs to start each week as the season goes on, if you participate in a league that starts 3 WRs with an option for 4.

    With all of that said, I am politely requesting that a RB/TE option can be created.

    Thank you!

    Create position called DSK that combines the scoring of kicker and team defense/special teams. Kicker is part of special teams and combining the value of these two will give this position true value, rather than seldom passing 10 fantasy points.

  • Pete Richard commented  ·   ·  Report

    Go full football and add Offensive Lineman and Punter stats
    also keep leagues open year round

  • John Szamosi commented  ·   ·  Report

    Offensive Linemen. Scale it based on sacks given up, penalties, hurries, and qb knockdowns.
