Tweak Scoring Structure in NFL DFS
Even though I think Yahoo NFL DFS is the best DFS site for my money hands-down, I find myself not wanting to play it because of the standard, half-point PPR structure. I think it would be much more exciting for me to play if players simply scored more fantasy points, whether that be through full-point PPR, bonuses, etc. I think Yahoo could even become unique and do crazy things like a "SuperStar" in the Main Slate contests who makes something like 1.2x or 1.3x. I think changing the scoring structure slightly could bring more people in and would love to…

2 game contest-10pm
Instead of having only one contest from 8PM for 4 games including the 10pm games. Add a 2 game; 10PM contest for also. I noticed original there was an option but it was removed and grouped.

All Players Scores Tab
It would be better if there is also an indication of how much % that certain player was picked by the total number of contestants.

Get rid of 150 entry max. It is the reason I play yahoo and not other sites, so I actually have a chance to compete.

Veteran status should be unique for each sport
I dont agree that the veteran status should be "across the board" for all sports. I think veteran status should apply to each individual sport. The reason why is because some people dont play each sport equally and each sport has a unique strategy for setting your lineups. When I just started playing I primarily did football, baseball and hockey. But now i am just getting started playing soccer and im still trying to figure out a good strategy. But now that i am veteran status, i am basically a beginner at soccer going against people with many hundreds of…

Improve fantasy hockey - Goalies
Quit forecasting starting goalies, since it seems to have little relevance on who actually starts. No information is better than bad information. The notes say one thing, but the DFS rosters show another.

payouts
really just started playing on yahoo this week. i dont think ive ever seen a payout structure where almost HALF of the prize pool is paid to the top 10 places!! Example- i played 2 gpps tonight, 1-5K with 2 lu's entered and a 1k also entered 2 lu's. Cashed with all 4 lu's and in the 5k, 1 of my lu's finished in 80th place. won $6 in a $5,500 tourny, while the last cash position won $4 less! you paid over 2k to top 10 spots, when 70 spots further down gets $6 buks. then 1100 spots down…

Bring Back Yahoo Fantasy Golf!!!
You are going to lose a lot of longtime Yahoo users by dropping your fantasy golf. It is the ONLY reason that I and many others have stuck with Yahoo over the years for email, search, and homepage. Please reconsider this decision or at the very least give us a reason why you would make such decision.

Change Veteran Criteria
When the "veteran" criteria was initiated it was 1) Enter 1,000 contests in a year; 2) Enter 250 in a year with 65% payout; or 3) Win prize of $1,000 3 times in a year.
It is now Enter 1,000 contests or win $1,000 3 times.
It seems you are punishing players that joined early with no time frame on the 1,000 entries. I guess I've entered 1,000 contests, but 95% of them are $1 and $2 50/50 tournaments. I enter 3 to 6 lineups in each available slate of NFL games each week. That's maybe 20-30 lineups per week.…

Account identity verification
Get a new provider for account identification, I have used my SS# and verified all other information, yet it still says it can't verify my account without a picture of my drivers license. No offense, but you have all my info and text verification, no way I'm sending a photo of my drivers license so you can sell it to a bunch of other idiots who can't verify simple information.

Let's see rankings of Yahoo DFS users/players
It's great to be able to see how many wins your opponents have accumulated in their time on the Yahoo platform, but that doesn't give much context. Other sites have overall site-wide rankings (usually led by Saahil or ChipotleAddict). Can we see that on Yahoo eventually?

Ways to improve Yahoo Daily Fantasy/ Fix Flaws.
I found a flaw in the payout structure for double ups. Most sites take a bigger rake for smaller entry fees. But for double ups, the rake for the $25 double up (10/23 double )is worst than any other denomination.
Also, the only way this product will grow is to offer higher prize pools. Rather than offer multiple small tournaments, I would recomend having just 2 contest for each dollar amount... $1,$2,$5,$10,$20. One single entry, and one multi entry.
I understand with the limited max entries these contests will never be as big as the other major sites, but they…

You really need to start uping your tournament prize pools if you want more players to come play
It's very simple up your prize pools more people will come I've been playing on the site since day 1 and you had a few large tourneys in the beginning then when they didn't fill the first time you backed way off too far off. You are a multi billion dollar company you can afford a little overlay if you want this to be profitable. With fantasy aces going down the way they did people are looking for a site they can trust and you also have late swap in your favor which draftkings got rid of and ****** a…

Be able to see all contests that are running instead of only contests you have entered.
I would like to do some research on players while contests are going on, so allow me to see any contest thats currently in play. Or have a players list in play to watch.
