Kick/Punt Returner Position
I’d like to request a dedicated Kick Returner (KR) roster position for my Yahoo Fantasy Football league.
Our league awards points for kickoff and punt return yards, but return specialists have to occupy a standard WR/RB/FLEX roster spot. A dedicated KR position would allow leagues that reward return production to use specialists without sacrificing a traditional offensive roster spot.
Could Yahoo add KR as an available roster position, or enable it for my league through commissioner settings? Special teams make huge impacts in the game and I think should be afforded the same in fantasy.
Thank you.

IR and out designations
The way you do your IR spot makes Yahoo unplayable compared to all other site and I for 1 have had enough. I have played on Yahoo since 2002 and since 2008 have only been under platinum status 1 year. I play a lot of money leagues here thru LeageSafe and run 1 of my own here and the other on ESPN. I will be changing that league to ESPN next year because of your games with injured status and telling managers I play in their leagues I will not be playing here next year and suggest they move to…
Hey Bill,
Our injury designations are controlled by our data provider. If a player is not on the actual IR, our data provider will reset the injury designation at the start of the new game week. Once the team officially rules the player out for the new game week, then our data provider will update the designation to reflect in our game.

Change players in real time
It would be extremely awesome to have the chance to replace players in real time, considering the time they played in the game, for example, when a player is injured during the game or if he is having a bad time getting the job done, you can replace him with another player in your bench if you have an option available. You can consider the time he stopped playing. For example, game time 18:50 was hurt, from point of the game the other player is taken, etc. Always forward is valid. Or even if you can do it by quarters…

Stop changing injury designations
Please stop changing injury designations for players that have been deemed out multiple weeks. For example, Jayden Daniels was changed from O to D on waiver day even though he’ll be out 3 more weeks.
Hi Howard,
Injury designations are controlled by our data provider. If a player is not on the NFL's IR, their injury designation will reset at the start of each new game week. Once they're officially ruled out for the new game week, our data provider will update the designation to reflect it in our game.

Positonal limits need to be season long not just for the draft
Positonal limits need to be season long not just for the draft. It's pointless to cap roster spots if it's not season long. That's how ESPN does it. Get your **** together.

Stop cut players during games
Yahoo need to lock players from dropping during the game to prevent adding another player who already played. Many teams are starting to cut corners by add and drop during and after games.
Yahoo need to lock players to prevent that. It has been going on too long and it is time for them to fix that to restore its credibility for people who paid fee for the leagues.
Hi Neal,
Commissioners in a Private League can enable the option to lock bench players from being dropped during or after a game has been played. This setting is off by default in Public Leagues.

Zach Baun should be a rosterable / tradeable player
Cannot find Zach Baun to add or trade for him. I'm pretty sure he's just NOT in Yahoo Fantasy Football.
Hello Robert,
Zach Baun is listed with LB eligibility in Yahoo Fantasy Football. If your league does not roster the LB position, then he won't be available in the player pool for your league.

Fix your system!!!
I'm commissioner of a league and our setting for allowing an add for an injured player directly to an IR slot is set to "NO." Unfortunately, your system allowed a team in my league to do just that, add Jordan Tyson directly to an IR slot. This became a major blowup in our league when I went to remove Tyson from the owner's roster, as some owners felt like I should just allow the add but require that team to drop one (but other owners were aware of the rule and would then be disadvantaged). In addition, when I backed…

Give us back previous season game logs!

For IDP Leagues make an option to assign number of bench spots used for offensive and defensive players
In IDP Leagues, rosters are larger so more bench spots are needed. But that can create a problem of too much hoarding. To help prevent that it would be nice to assign offensive and defensive bench spots.

Add Roster Grid
NFL had a roster grid (Teams in rows/Positions in columns) which was easy to view the number of players each in each position on all teams. Helps with finding needs on teams to create trade offers

Fantasy Player cards are missing basic bio data
The player info cards (mobile and desktop) don't show height, weight, age, or jersey number. This is standard scouting info that every fantasy manager needs. Right now I have to leave Yahoo entirely to look it up on another site, which means Yahoo loses the pageview.
Request: Add to each player card:
Height
Weight
Age
Jersey number
(Nice to have: 40 time / combine data)This is low-hanging fruit. The data already exists. Adding it keeps users on-platform instead of bouncing to ESPN or Sleeper to get it.

Allow commissioners to set the starting lineup display order
The starting lineup on the My Team and matchup pages now displays as QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, W/R/T, K, DEF. It previously displayed as QB, WR, WR, RB, RB. This is a change to long-standing behavior and there is no setting to control it.
Request: add a league setting that lets the commissioner choose the display order of starting roster slots, or restore the previous default.
Rationale: this change has no upside that I can identify. It does not affect scoring, eligibility, or lineup setting. It only moves where people's eyes land after decades of muscle memory. At…

Kickers in Flex
In large leagues, the flex position can be difficult to fill with anyone scoring meaningful points if you were unfortunate enough to suffer a couple of injuries. In this case, managers are forced to place a boom or bust player in, which shifts the experience from "skill" to "luck". Adding the option to place a kicker or defense to the flex position would expand the pool of potential points to draw from.

Commisioner's Exempt List
In the NFL, players on the Commissioner's Exempt List do not count against the team's 53 player roster limit.
As such, should the same rule apply to Fantasy Football?
Thank you for reaching out regarding the Commissioner's Exempt List status. A player with this status is not eligible for the IR spot. Therefore, they will have to take up a spot on your active roster if you own them. We appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team!

Player list
Where is "show my team" on the players list?? Where is most added/dropped?
This new format sucks!!
Im positive I cant be the only one that thinks this
Thanks for reaching out regarding seeing the "Show My Team" option along with the most added/dropped. If you are using the app, the "Show My Team" option can be found if you go to the players page and look at the bar with the positions like QB, RB, WR, etc. If you scroll all the way to the right, you will find this option. You can also click on the filter icon that shows to the left of the star icon and then toggle on "Show My Team" at the top. On the players page, you should also see the column that says "Adds". You may need to scroll a bit to the right.

Make customizable Roster Slots
I run a small family and friends league and I want to be able to push deeper into the player pool. The current options are limiting. Ideally, I would like the ability to have a TE/K/DEF slot as their historical point distributions are not that varied and would allow a small league to utilize more of those types of positions. Adding an additional of each slot becomes problematic because there aren't enough of each of those positions to make it competitive because when you get deep enough into all of those positions, you end up with a lot of rotten…

Option to LOCK players from chopped teams after week 14

MOVE WRs back to spot in starting lineups they have always been under qbs
Why did you change the roster view to list running backs over wide receivers in starting lineups?
For QB-WR stacks it always made sense to have wide receivers listed underneath quarterbacks. We draft in June and have owners who drafted their teams with an emphasis on wide receivers early because they liked the look of having top receivers first in their lineup directly under qb. Why would you switch this view after our draft?
Thank you for your feedback regarding moving the wide receivers back to the spot in starting lineups under quarterbacks. We will pass it along to our team!
