Customize waivers to run on multiple days and be "free" on gameday
The options for waivers are very limited, either running Tuesday PM or players always stay on waivers (continuous). We'd like to run waivers on multiple days, but still enable "free for all" on game day so owners aren't stuck waiting for waivers.
If we could get the above change, that would be awesome. Beyond that, I believe it should be built in that, on a day that a player has a game, they are removed from waivers. This allows owners to make moves on Thursday night prior to the game if needed, while the players not in the game are…

IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PICK UP PLAYERS
IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PICK UP PLAYERS, IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE TEAMS THAT ARE PLAYING FOR MONEY

How the heck can you draft autopick already?
The actual draft didn't even happen yet. This is ridiculous. My first two picks are Ryan and Ertz.Ertz was sandwiched between Beckham and Brown. That is terrible rankings. And, why do I have TWO kickers? I want to leave this league. Or, give me an extra league to draft This is B.S!!!

Playoff Setting of 7 Teams/1 Bye
Can you guys please add a playoff setting of 7 teams, 1 bye.
where the top overall seed of the regular season were to earns a bye for the first round of the playoffs instead of playing the 8th seed. after the first round bye the #1 seed would play the winner of the #4 and #5 seed matchup in the 2nd round. while the rest of the playoffs continues the same as if it were on an 8 team playoff setting.It would be nice to add an incentive to be the top overall seed but I feel like…

You should be able to adjust how many votes it takes to veto a trade. It should take six in my opinion. Why don't I have that option to make

Weekly Contracts
The problem I have with FF is it relies heavily on how well you drafted. Get lucky and you win for 16 weeks straight.
In my league we use FAAB which is a lot of fun because it creates a supply and demand market and assigns dollar values to waiver wire players.
Here is my idea. What would be cool is a week-to-week contract system. Teams get a budget just like real life teams. Players get "signed" to a contract on draft day from anywhere from 1 week to the whole season. Initially, this is based on algorithms tracking projected…

Manual Playoff Seeding for Each Round
Our league is considering a rule change to do manual seeding of the playoffs this year for each round as we want to allow the highest seed in each round to pick their opponents of that specific round.
1) 3 Seed picks between 4-6 for first round
2) 1 Seed picks between the two winners of the first round119th ranked -
Allow edit to # of teams making playoffs by the commissioner.
With a league of 14 teams, I want to have 7 teams make the playoffs w the reg season champ being awarded a bye. Why doesn't Yahoo allow this? It's either 6 or 8 teams.

Improved Fantasy Football trade veto system
I would like to see some upgrades in regard to the way trades are vetoed in fantasy sports. By default, 33% of the league must vote against a trade for the trade to be vetoed. I am in a 12 team league, therefore 4 vetos nullifies the trade. I am asking you (Yahoo) to improve your process by allowing commissioners to edit the amount/percentage of votes that it takes to veto a trade. We are considering moving our league to another platform if this issue doesnt get solved. we have been with yahoo since 2005, and i would be sad…

H2H Regular Season, Points playoffs
H2H is way more fun for regular season, but I would like to make playoffs points-based. Instead of H2H matchups, the teams in the quarters and semis face everyone and the top scoring half of teams move on to the following round (4 move on from quarterfinals and 2 move on from semifinals). Simple feature to add, and it's more fair.

Stop listing players as questionable in game injury. The player is taken "out" and does not return. Out should be status until week update.
Stop listing players as questionable with in game injury. When the player is taken "out" and does not return, the player is not questionable. Out should be status until weekly practice update. When you are out and do not return, you are out and not questionable. This would allow management of the player by IR roster, add, and drop.

Fix the Record Book pages for Team Points and Team Stats. All-Time Records are not updating the team, only the points.
This page is broken for:
Team Points - Most - Season (Average), All Time
Offense Points - Most - Season (Average), All Time
Touchdowns - Most - Season (Average), All TimeIt updates the point totals but leaves the previous record holder. Ie, my great season just boosted someone else's stats from years ago.

Create a "draft board" view for offline draft entry
For offline drafts, can you create a "draft board" view to enter draft picks. Our league would prefer to project the draft board during our draft and manually enter the picks. Currently the format is not very user-friendly and does not appear as a draft board, forcing us to purchase a paper board and then go back and enter draft results at a later time. This would save a lot of time and be an awesome feature for offline drafts!!

Guillotine leagues
Can you add the option for guillotine leagues? These are leagues where the lowest scoring team is eliminated and it’s roster is put back into the player pool to be available for waivers/free agency to the teams surviving. This happens until there is one team left

The comissioners should be able to customize every round of the playoffs.
Commissioners should be able to adjust every round of the playoffs. We have the eliminated teams play for draft positions. We also have divisions throughout, not seeding teams based on points.

Hybrid or Combined League play
I have been a commissioner for 12 years and have my on website.
Everyone in fantasy would like to see a hybrid league.
OR allow you to reward additional wins for H2H and Points Scored combined league.(Commish tool)Example would be:
Rewarding 1 win for H2H
Rewarding 1 win for top half highest points scored.Yahoo doesn't even have a tool to put manually place a team in the playoffs based on: highest scoring non playoff team.

Allow commissioners to edit entire playoff brackets, winners and consolation brackets
This suggestion is mostly for consolation brackets. Right now, in a 12 team league with top 6 seeds making the winners bracket, seeds 7 and 8 get byes in the first round of the consolation bracket. They are then set up to face the winners of the 9/12 and 10/11 matchups.
This essentially eliminates seeds 7 and 8 from losing the consolation bracket and coming in dead last. In leagues where the person in last place has a "punishment" for losing it basically makes it so that two teams check
