    I have a league where we have an enhanced scoring metric for yardage (rushing and receiving), in order to help offset points that are awarded for Touchdowns and passing yards.
    Basically, in our league 100 yards rushing or receiving is worth 15 points rather than just 10.
    (0.66666 yards is needed to earn 1 point, instead of 10 yards needed to score 1 point).

    Here's our issue though... Quarterbacks that rush for a lot of yards are also benefiting from this enhanced metric. And there are only a few QBs in the league that rush for a large number of yards. This gives them a disproportionately significant advantage with rushing yardage being such a big factor. It slants the league in favor of the few teams that have heavily rushing QBs, and impacts the draft negatively.

    Here's my suggestion:

    Add in a simple scoring setting feature that toggles the QB position to be exempt from the customizable setting for the rushing/receiving yards metric.
    In other words, in your system have QB rushing/receiving yards be its own category, separate from skill player's rushing/receiving yards. That way QBs will still just earn the basic points for rushing (10 yards = 1 point), while the other positions (RB/WR/TE) can have their yardage scoring customized.
    It's a big distortion to have QB rushing yardage tethered to the other positions as it currently is.

    There are other platforms allowing for this type of customization, and if Yahoo wants to stay at the preferred cutting edge of fantasy sports, these types of settings are a vital aspect to include.

    Thank you.
