How is the Two-Way rookie - Jacksonville -Travis Hunter - Going to FAIRLY " SCORED " , In Yahoo Fantasy - FOOTBALL Leagues ?
How is the Two-Way rookie - Jacksonville -Travis Hunter - Going to FAIRLY " SCORED " , In Yahoo Fantasy - FOOTBALL Leagues ?
Thank you for reaching out regarding how Travis Hunter will be handled. In leagues that use only offensive roster positions, Travis Hunter will be eligible at wide receiver (WR). If your league includes both offensive and defensive roster positions, he will be eligible at both wide receiver (WR) and cornerback (CB). This means you’ll have the flexibility to roster him in either an offensive position or a defensive roster position, like cornerback (CB), defensive back (DB), or defensive player (D).
Two-way players, such as Travis Hunter, earn both offensive and defensive scoring regardless of where they are rostered. If Travis Hunter is placed in a defensive roster position, like cornerback (CB), defensive back (DB), or defensive player (D), he will still earn fantasy points for both his offensive and defensive stats, and the same applies if he is rostered in an offensive position like wide receiver (WR) or a flex…

Travis Hunter WR/DB Scoring Issue
In leagues that have IDP, Travis Hunter will have both offensive and defensive stats accounted for, no matter if you designate him as a WR or DB. That needs to change before leagues start drafting.
If fantasy baseball can get it right with Shohei Ohtani, then why cant fantasy football get it right with Travis Hunter?
Simple fix.....allow for him to be drafted as a WR and as a DB, but his stats will only account for the position that he is designated in.Hey Reed,
Two-way players, such as Travis Hunter, earn both offensive and defensive scoring regardless of where they are rostered. If Travis Hunter is placed in a defensive roster position, like cornerback (CB), defensive back (DB), or defensive player (D), he will still earn fantasy points for both his offensive and defensive stats, and the same applies if he is rostered in an offensive position like wide receiver (WR) or a flex position.
For example, if Travis Hunter is rostered in a defensive position but records 60 receiving yards as a wide receiver, he will still receive credit for those yards and scoring. If Travis Hunter is rostered in an offensive position but records 2 solo tackles as a cornerback, he will still receive credit for those tackles. Exact scoring will depend on your league's specific scoring settings.
Thanks,

I am a FF Commissioner. I have 3 ideas to improve scoring
FIrst, please add a Fumble Return for TD category like you INT Return for TD. This should be a negative scoring play for offensive players.
Secondly other sites let the commissioners manually input the points for yardage allowed and points allowed for def/st. For example at 76 yards allowed its 12 points. 151 yards allowed its 10 points and the same type of ability with points allowed. Let the commissioners input those paramters.Hi John,
Thanks for your feedback.
We will pass along your request to our product team.
There is an option in the commish tools when editing the scoring settings to assign point values for defensive yards allowed. You won't be able to pick specific yardage, like at 76 yards, you will have the option of 0-99 yards, 100-199 yards, etc.
Thanks,

change the way Travis Hunter is getting scored
So my issue is there's no way Travis Hunter should get receiving points in the DB position. His projections are basically 12.2 a week and the other best DB's projections are around 4.5... So your telling me he should out scored every other def. position by 3x the points. A DB that's probably going to score 2 to 3 points a week at DB. I have no issues of him scoring the def. points in the WR spot but you are creating a guy to get drafted many rounds ahead of were he should actually go.

Kicker points per yard after 30
Other platforms offer this setting. My long running league will move to a different platform if this setting isn't added, which would be a shame because all of our history has been on Yahoo.
Hi Brian,
There is an option for Field Goal Yards Per Point.
When using this setting, the Fractional Points setting for your league is factored in to determine the total points awarded for field goals.
When Fractional Points are enabled, yards per point are used to calculate the score. For example, when using 10 yards per 1 point, a 19-yard field goal would result in 1.9 points.
When Fractional Points are disabled, field goal total yards are rounded down, as with other scoring stats. For example, two 24-yard field goals would result in 4 points (48 yards, rounds down to 4 points), but three 24-yard field goals would be 7 points (72 yards, rounds down to 7 points).
This setting is only relevant for successful field goal attempts. There wouldn’t be a penalty for missed field goal attempts using this setting.
This may not address the type of setting you're…

median scoring free
Please make median scoring a free feature on yahoo fantasy football. If not, I may have to move my leagues to sleeper. I like my trophy room and don't want to move, plus I have done yahoo since the early 2000s. Thanks for your help! I do not wish to pay $25 for median scoring. It is free on sleeper.
Thank you for your feedback regarding median scoring. Median scoring is currently only available with the purchase of Commissioner Plus for your league, but we appreciate your feedback and we will pass it along to our team!

FG Scoring
In my old league on another site, we were able to customize scoring so that all FGs under 30 yards were 3 pts and all over 30 yds was based on yards - 34 yd fg = 3.4 points, 51 yd fg = 5.1 pts etc. On yahoo, it looks like you can only do points for a rank or by yards. The problem with using yards, 25 yd =2.5 pts.. all FGs should be a minimum 3 pts.
Hey Mils,
Commissioners have the ability to edit the scoring settings for FGs so that all FGs under 30 yards are worth 3 points. There is also an option for Field Goal Yards Per Point.
When using this setting, the Fractional Points setting for your league is factored in to determine the total points awarded for field goals.
When Fractional Points are enabled, yards per point are used to calculate the score. For example, when using 10 yards per 1 point, a 19-yard field goal would result in 1.9 points.
When Fractional Points are disabled, field goal total yards are rounded down, as with other scoring stats. For example, two 24-yard field goals would result in 4 points (48 yards, rounds down to 4 points), but three 24 yard-field goals would be 7 points (72 yards, rounds down to 7 points).

Defensive points allowed settings should be adjusted to stop penalizing PAT after defensive TD during a shutout
As of now, standard scoring for defensive points allowed (PA) is as follows: 10 points for a shutout, 7 points for 1-6 PA, 4 points for 7-13 PA, etc. I believe that there's a commonsense error in this scoring. As an example, let's say the Eagles beat the Cowboys 24-7, and the lone Cowboys TD is scored via defensive TD (pick six, scoop and score, etc.). With the current scoring settings, the Eagles defense loses 3 points for giving up an extra point that was not their fault. I'll stick with my example to avoid confusion: in fantasy football, a…

get rid of weekly projections, they are useless. Telling me a WR is going to have 1/10th of a rush attempt for 1/10th of a yard is absurd!!

Hi Tom,
These categories are only used for leagues that use DEF/ST. You'll get fantasy points based on how many points opposing teams make against your defensive team. The actual NFL final score may differ from the points that count in Fantasy:
- Items that count towards "points allowed" are:
- All FGs scored by opponent
- All PATs (extra points and 2-PT conversions)
- All TDs scored against defense or special teams (including fake punts / field goals / returns from kickoff, punts, blocked punts, and muffed catches / fumbles during kickoffs and punts)
- Items that do not count towards "points allowed" are:
- Safeties (Including Safeties on defensive or special teams plays)
- TD returns from Interceptions, blocked field goals, or all fumble returns that result in TDs (except on kickoffs and punts)
- Defensive two-point conversion returns

Drop the negative yardage applied to QBs when they kneel down to end the half or the game. Justin Herbert lost 1.7 points on Dec.19/24.
Drop the negative yardage applied to QBs when they kneel at the end the first half or in the victory formation at the end of the game. Justin Herbert lost 1.7 points on Dec.19/24. This can drastically change the outcome of a fantasy football playoff game.
Thank you for your feedback. The yardage lost on kneel downs count towards the rushing yards for players. We do not make scoring determinations. The NFL's official stats are used and according to their rules, kneel downs count towards rushing yards.

Error: New "Matchups" page is updating win/loss streak based on projected winner and loser
There is an issue with the new format of the Matchups page. For example, I currently have a two-game winning streak, but am projected to lose my current week's game. It is currently Sunday at 12:30pm, so the games are far from over. But, because I am projected to lose this week, I am being shown as having a one-game losing streak. This is clearly inaccurate--the win/loss streaks should only be updated once each team's games are fully completed.
Thank you for reaching out about the win/loss streak including your current matchup's projection. We'll get this over to our engineering team so they can get this fixed as soon as possible.

Weekly grades are garbage.
When is a 120 pts (and the 2nd highest score in the league that week) a D+? According to Yahoo, it's when you get beaten (by the highest scorer in the league that week) with 156 pts. Granted, if I played literally ANYONE else this week I would've won. Guys with less that 100 pts. got A+ scores, but somehow my 120 pts. are a D+ because of a bad matchup. It's bad enough I lost, this **** makes me want to drop all my guys into free agency and not play on Yahoo anymore. Your grades are an insult…

font color
Its beyond me that Yahoo displays active scores in black font, and final scores in blue font. It's completely backwards. If a player is currently active/playing, their point total should be in blue font. Once the game is finalized, the font should switch to black, denoting that the player score is final.

Bring Time Stamps and Scoring Line Items Back
It used to be the case on the stat tracker page where when a player did something that registered points in a matchup, stat tracker would stamp the time (for example: "6 minutes ago", "two minutes ago", "just now", et cetera) and Also show how much the score adjusted because of that player (for example: a player might have caught a ball for 10 yards, so the system would actually display "+1.25 points"), But now all these stat tracker screen does is announce the players name, what they did, and what the current total matchup score is at... Stat tracker…

D/ST Points against? How does a blocked field goal returned for a TD by the opposing D/ST not count against the other teams D/ST??
Yesterday in the Seattle/NYG game, New York blocked a Seattle field goal and returned it for a Touchdown making the score 29-20. However, yahoo did not count that touchdown as points against the Seattle D/ST. It is DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS. Seattle's DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS gave up the touchdown. PLEASE CORRECT.

Make live stat tracker more accessible
Make live stat tracker more accessible.
StatTracker is available as a tab along the top. Based on your screen's zoom, it may be under the ellipsis (tab with three dots) at the top. If you are using a tablet, you won't be able to access it under the ellipsis as sub pages cannot be accessed on tablets currently. We recommend using a desktop/laptop to access StatTracker.

Yahoo who needs to make and post a distinct Scoring board for team level adjustment according to weekly W or L & not arbitrary as it’s been
Yahoo FF needs to create and post a chart that distinctively explains and shows how a team level is assessed and adjusted after weekly wins or losses and not arbitrating consistent as it’s been for the past many years team that didn’t get the projected points to another team that was far below their projected points May win by five points but gets +15 in the standings then another team that makes 30 points over its projected and beats a team that it was supposed to lose to only gets +4 or five points is aggravating inconsistent, and annoying
