Players should be able to set the "shape" of their lineup when they have to autodraft. For example, I want to draft 2 QBs, 3 RBs, 5 WRs, etc.

I was unable to participate in my league's live draft this year, but entered an extensive list of player rankings. I ended up with an A+ draft on paper, but it had a backup kicker and IDPs, and only 2 RBs and 3 WRs. As you might guess, that didn't work out so well.

It seems for players who have to autodraft, it should be possible to indicate the maximum number of players to be drafted at each position to avoid this problem.

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 having 2 byes is too much. Cause at the moment my league is 8 team playoffs, no byes. and I am falling into the issue of people tanking late in the season to bottom of the league teams because they dont care or want the #1 seed becuase there is no incentive. I am ware that there is a setting of 6 teams, 2 byes but I feel that is too many byes and too few teams making the playoffs.

If you can please please please add a 7 team, 1 bye setting that would be great and help legitimize the idea of the 7 team, 1 bye playoff setting.

A DEF should not be penalized for "points allowed" if they weren't even on the field when it happened. If Jared Goff throws a pick-six, it's hard to blame the LAR DEF for that. If Tom Brady gets strip-sacked and it is run back for a TD, how is that NE DEF's fault?

Frankly, I don't think the DEF should be penalized with "points allowed" resulting from the offense turning the ball over inside their own 20 yard line, but at least there is an argument to be made that the DEF was on the field when the points were eventually scored.

But, at the very least, a DEF shouldn't be marked down for points scored while they were never even on the field.

The idea of drafting a coach has been floated in a couple long time leagues, and has been an overwhelming hit.

The idea is you’re able to draft a coach and assign a point value to a win or loss. For example if you draft Matt Nagy and the bears win it’s +1 and a loss would be -1

The coach position, if used would be a roster spot that you’re only allowed to put a coach in to prevent teams from not having a coach and filling it with a deeper bench of position players.

Every team needs a good coach! If able to draft past coaches I would roster Ditka and take a zero every week just to have Ditka as my coach!

Think about the possibilities. It just adds a fun twist and would add a cool fun feature that yahoo could add, which would put them another step ahead of other fantasy platforms!

Two issues I faced regarding "Pre-Draft" settings:

1ST ISSUE:
1) 10 minutes before the draft time for one of my league, I realized that the time needed to be pushed by 30 minutes (I am the commissioner). Yahoo's pre-draft settings would not let me do this. The commissioner can only change the draft time UP TO one hour before the draft time begins. As per Yahoo, this is because that is when the draft room is created. This is ridiculous. You should be able to change the draft time ANYTIME before the draft begins, even if it's one second before start time, to accommodate team managers.

2nd ISSUE:
I communicated a specific draft order to my league. When we all entered the draft room, Yahoo changed that draft order, which as you can imagine GREATLY upset the entire group including myself. Because of Yahoo's "Pre-Draft" settings, I can only change Draft Order up to 1 hour before the actual draft time. Again, really stupid system limitation that does not keep Yahoo customer's needs in mind.

SUGGESTION: "PRE-DRAFT" means just that: ANYTIME before the draft. Yahoo, you need to fix this. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has found a need to change the draft time or draft order within 1 hour of original draft time. You have millions of customers who play Yahoo Fantasy Sports - make sensible system enhancements with the benefit of the customer in mind.
