Celing / Floor search
I mentioned this for the High Score basketball, where I feel it is a neccessity, but I think you should be able to search for players' ceiling and floor scores under the PLAYERS tab when searching for players to add to your roster. It should be in the drop down tabs as a sort item. For example, its the playoffs in fantasy football and I would like to search for the free agent tight end that has scored the highest in a single week this season, because I am looking for blowup potential in a matchup where I am the…

Add the option for Commissioners of private leagues to designate lineup slots for Return Yards Only.
The NFL has significantly changed the rules and procedures for punt and kick returns, effectively making these ST plays much more exciting and extremely relevant to the outcome of each game. Fun! Except right now, we can only collect return yards if we put returners in our WR/RB/CB slot or related depending on their position. It would be great if we could expand our private league to have a returns slot so that only a player in that slot (of any actual position) can gain return yards.
ST play has become more and more important in actual NFL games so…

Require Teams to Start a Defense
I would like an option to require teams to start a defense, with the commissioner able to establish a penalty for not starting a defense. Thank you.
Hi Gregg,
Thanks for your feedback. We will pass along your feedback to our product team.
Commissioners can establish this rule in a Private League, but they will need to manually enforce teams to start certain roster positions.

Player injuries
If a player gets injured and is given and injury designation during a game, there should be an option we can select to allow player swaps with injuries with players on the bench during a game. This should be an option the commissioner can add to the settings. Will make for better competition as one injury can ruin your week. swapping that player with a player who hasn't played yet.
Also kickers who kick a 60 yard field goal should get 6 points.

IR Slot Update
Because of the rule where you can't have a player on IR that is not IR eligible if you want to pickup a free agent or use a waiver claim, you end up with players for weeks at a time that never actually step one foot on the field in a game, but they went from the status of Out to Questionable. Now you can't even change your kicker or whatever, even though your IR player isn't most likely going to play anyways. You have to drop a player you don't want to drop, move the player from IR to…

injuries
if a player is “out” one week they should not be moved to “Q” the following monday hindering ur adds or drops. They should be considered out until they are actually active
Hi Tim,
Thanks for your feedback.
Player injury designations are determined by our data provider. If a player is not on the NFL IR list, their designation will reset at the beginning of each new game week until they are officially ruled out by their team for that week. A player on bye who is listed as out should remain with that designation during their bye week.

Leave Players Out Until They Are Not
I think you should leave players with the IR or O designation until they are fully active. Godwin, for example, has been a nightmare this year. You have to move him to your active roster and drop someone even though he has no chance of playing. Then we have to wait until the end of the week to add someone and we have limited choices. Same with Terry McLaurin. Neither of them are playing this week and I had to drop decent players to put them in my active roster. The first game is tonight so now I have two…

Within league settings allow for IDP specific bench/roster spots
Is there a way to restrict roster/bench spots so they can only be used by IDP players?
Hello,
With the introduction of Travis Hunter in Fantasy Football, some two-way players who play snaps on offense and defense will earn eligibility at each position type. For example, Travis Hunter is eligible at both WR and CB in leagues that use offensive and defensive roster positions. Learn more about two-way players here.
There is no option to prevent a two-way player from being used in an IDP roster position.

Questionable & Doubtful Injury Tags need to be updated to Out Sooner
When there is posted news on the player updates stating that player is likely to miss till ___ week, they should be marked out by Tuesday so managers can actually utilize the bench spots effectively. And it's equally as bad when an "Out" player is updated to "Questionable immediately following the fantasy week. There physical status has not changed until new reports come out so their fantasy availability should not be updated UNTIL there is new information that they may play.
Hi,
A player's injury designation is determined by our data provider. When a team officially moves a player to the IR or officially rules them out for the game week, then our data provider will update their designation, which then updates in our game. If a player is not on the actual IR, their designation will update at the beginning of the new game week, unless they have a bye, then it should remain unchanged.

Grading of teams results and weekly recaps
I know that whoever does your weekly recaps and grades teams does their best but the comment made to my team was that my best player should not be a bench warmer. My best player is Bijon Johnson who WAS playing. My other best player is Lamar Jackson who was hurt. He could not play. I had to get another QB. I do not know who he is referring to. I take these weekly grades with a grain of salt but whoever you have doing these should probably do better research before making his comments. Thanks.
Thank you for your feedback regarding matchup recaps/grades. We will pass it along to our team!

Fantasy football trades & waiver wire times
Trades should not take 3 days to process with Thursday night games. Why aren't they 48 hrs? Also, I have 5 Yahoo leagues and the waivers run at different times for each league. Why can't they all process at the same (known) time?
Hi Tom,
The trade review time will occur the day(s) after the trade has been accepted. If the league uses a 2-day review and a trade is accepted on Monday, the review period will be all of Tuesday/Wednesday, and then it will be processed on Thursday. In a Public Prize League, if there is at least 1 protest of the trade, it will add an additional day of review for the Yahoo League Office to review, so the trade would then not process until Friday at the earliest. Commissioners in a Private League can adjust the trade review settings to commissioner review to push a trade through quicker if needed, but it cannot be pushed through quicker in a Public League.
Waivers will begin processing at approximately 12 AM PT. Due to the large number of waivers that are being processed between all leagues, there will be delays in posting…

Ceedee Lamb Injured status
He should be listed as out not Doubtful they already said hes listed to miss the next 2-4 weeks. Why has this not been implemented yet?? I had to drop another player on my roster because I was unable to occupy the IR slot.
Thank you for reaching out regarding CeeDee Lamb's injury status. Our data provider updates the injury designations for players and will not list someone as IR or Out until the team officially makes a transaction to put the player on IR or they officially rule the player out for the game week. Once the moves are official, our data provider will update the designation which will then update in our game shortly after.

BRING BACK CLASSIC MODE!!!
BRING BACK CLASSIC MODE!!! Using drag and drop on a mobile phone is TERRIBLE. You can't scroll your team without it selecting players and moving them around. This week I lost a matchup because both of my DST were on the bench when I clearly put one in the starting line up. Drag and drop on a phone is NOT a user friendly experience. I've played on Yahoo since 2011 and have always used classic mode to set lineups. It's a better experience and easier to move players and set your lineup when you are ACTUALLY making a change. Just…

Bring back "classic" roster edit
Make the "classic" version available again to edit starters with bench players. The drag option is HORRIBLE to use with touch-screen, it always prompts you to switch when you don't want to!

Need to fix compare my team when managing 2 teams
I have my team Kashmen, and I am managing another team in the same league. Typically, when I am looking to add/replace a player in my team, I use "Compare My Team" option. Since I am managing two teams, it first prompts me to select the team. After I select the team, I get to the Players list, and when I select a specific position, my team's players are not on the list for comparison against the available players. I believe this is happening due to the fact that I am managing two teams and the system is confused. Please…
