I say no.
Owners will SOON go into the draft and make sure they get double by points by drafting D.Jackson and PHIL D, Knox/Hester with CHI, Sproles and SD, etc..
It will morph into that in a heartbeat.
There has never been a rule in fantasy football where ONE player gets credit for TWO TD's and scores a possible 12 points for his team.
PASS TD's yield ONE for the QB and ONE for the RB/TE/WR.
Even if you draft Brady and Moss, there's no guarantee that Moss gets every TD thrown by Brady.
When you get owners losing because ONE player gets credit for 12 points, you'll have more complaints than you see now. Yea John, but MUCH MORE often that (since kick returns for TD's don't happen much at all) the person who "doubles up" on Denver gets ZERO points because no kicks were returned for TD's.
Devin Hester and Dante Hall (a few years back) were ANOMOLIES, as who else even scores TWO in a year (besides Eddie Royal, of course! 
)??? Devin Hester went from FIVE to ZERO in a two year span.If someone wanted to go that route, "more power to them". Most weeks, they are going to be SEVERELY diappointed (from just a kicks returned for TD's standpoint). [/QUOTE]Changing the rule would morph into owners making sure they take the corresponding D/ST for double points and more complaints than this as no ONE player has ever rec'd 12 pts for a TD.
[/QUOTE]Actually that is not true as I know Brad Johnson threw a TD to himself (got tipped at the line, he caught it and ran into the end zone) and was awarded points for the passing TD AND the TD reception. Of course this was before the NFFC, but the player in my local league got 12 points, as we too had 6 pts per TD pass.
I don't understand that ONE player is getting 12 points. You have to start both the player AND the defense in order to get the 12. If I start Josh Cribbs and Cleveland's D each week, there are going to be MANY weeks where I am getting MINIMAL points out of TWO positions.
If I start DeSean Jackson, and he catches 4-50, and the Philly defense has two sacks, an INT, and doesn't hold their opponent to less than 18, and there are NO RETURN TD's, then I get 9 from D-Jax and 4 from Philly's D. 13 combined points from TWO positions....please explain where the "advantage is"???
Again, there will be MANY weeks where you are getting NOTHING for return TD's.
Why would ANYONE want to do that????
Implementing this rule would add about 5 minutes to my draft prep. If I was truly "on the fence" about a player, THEN I may give the edge to the guy who returns.
I would be willing to say that there would be about 8 RETURN TD's A YEAR (roughly 1 every other week) where an owner actually started that player.
MAYBE 3-4 where the owner also got "double points". For the people like to complain about "luck" and everything else, it might be an issue....shouldn't be an issue for everyone else.
I mean would you honestly start Randle El, Hixon, Mewelde, Cribbs,etc. every week on the HOPE they score a return TD. Especially when you know they aren't going to contribute much on offense??? :rolleyes:
