Customize IR Slot
Please allow us to customize IR slot.
As commissioner, I'd like to be able to only allow IR (Injured Reserve), O (Out) and PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) designations for that slot.
Personally, I don't think NA (Not Active), P (Probable), Q (Questionable) and Suspended (SUSP) should be used, but make that customizable so folks can allow it if they prefer.

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

Decimal Points for Kickers in Fantasy Football
With the majority of leagues going to decimal points is there a way to have kickers go to decimal scoring also? All FG up to 30yrds will be the standard 3pts. After that the kicks will work on a decimal system. So a 42yrd FG will be 4.2pts. This this will be more fair to the player. It’s frustrating that a 49yrd FG is only worth 4pts when it’s closer to 50yrd for 5pts than it is 40yrds for 4pts

Custom Draft Order
It was 56 minutes before the draft was scheduled to take place and I wanted to set a custom draft order, but Yahoo has an arbitrary rule where I can't change the draft order 1 hour before the draft. So I had to reschedule the whole draft. Thanks, Yahoo, for not giving me full control over my league.

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.

Record Book errors
After the problems with Yahoo player scoring at the end of WK 11 the league Record Books have errors.
Example:
Team Points - Most
Single Week (me vs opponent)- Wk 11 225.00 (includes Monday Night Game)
Single Week, All Time (me vs opponent)- Wk 11 Season 2018 225.00 (includes Monday Night Game)Team Points - Least
Single Week, All Time (me vs opponent)- Wk 11 Season 2018 95.00 (Does Not include Monday Night Game)So in the same week (Wk 11, 2018) I scored both the Most, All Time and the Least, All Time
The same error applies for Passing…

transparency on who vetoed a trade
Trade Veto Transparency (TVT).
Allow all League Members (or at least the Commish) to see who voted against a trade. We have certain League Members who hide behind the current anonymity and veto trades that help other teams (even though the trades themselves are fair).
I'm against Commissioner Review because of timing issues (i.e. I have a life outside of Fantasy Football and sometimes I don't get around to checking the League for a few days) and also I don't want all the other League Members contacting me directly about why the trade is legitimate or why I should not…

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

Allow for a longer draft clock time limit than two minutes for electronic drafts, and allow for no draft clock.
The two-minute draft clock limit is an arbitrary limitation on leagues that isn't conducive for leagues that meet to draft in person and like to take their time with the draft. Of course, there is the option to plug in the players manually, but that adds additional effort for the commissioner and sometimes can result in miscommunications without a live draft board. Allowing for us to use the software Yahoo! provides with a draft clock that is longer than two minutes, or even allowing for there to be no draft clock, would vastly improve the experience.

Commissioner button not working
Renewed my League today, yay! BUT.... I click on the Commissioner button to change some settings, and it never loads and opens up, the blue circle just spins and spins.

Would love to see football with rotisserie option instead of just head to head.
Rotisserie scoring is where you play everyone in your league every week. Like highest scoring would be 9-0 and last would be 0-9 in a ten person league. I have had a brutal year where iv scored the second most but have had the most scored against me.

Let us draft a coach
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…

Award waiver claims first, then release all remaining players to free agents! Players locked with no claims..
Players are being locked in the waiver system even when they are not claimed by anyone. At 1am, most players that are not claimed move to free agents. This morning it kept several players, including Matt Bryant and Cameron Brate locked in the waiver system, even though no one claimed them. Then, apparently after waivers were awarded at 2:21am, they became free agents. It would be beneficial for all fantasy team owners if Yahoo would lock all players until waiver claims are awarded and then release all unclaimed players to free agency at the same time. Doing it in different…

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 a mix of head to head as well as top half of scorer earn a point for standing
For example if you win and you are the 5th highest scorer for the week in a 10 man league you get 2 points towards your standing if you’re 6th and win you go 1-1 if you lose and are bottom half you go 0-2 or you lose and are top half for the week you go 1-1 it’s a way to negate unlucky matchups and praise consistency while having the head to head experience

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!!!

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.

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…
