One question.
I hope to get a clear answer as opposed to the "I don't like it cause I just dont like it!" answer...
What is the downside to having the individual player awarded 6 points when he returns a kickoff or punt for a TD?
What is the downside to this? The downside is that it is the least predictable event in football and is already covered in the DST; however, I love the idea of changing DST to just D and making the D pts more reflective of true performance. If giving the ST TD's to individuals is what it takes to get this done, then I'm for it.
Bob [/QUOTE]I agree.
Giving ONE player the ability to produce TWO TD's for you is going to result in some W's that should not be earned is this day and age of parity. And anyone that doesn't try for this shot at an extra win at the draft or when a FAAB opp comes up if BOTH are used is kidding themselves. Fantasy owners, especially at this level, pine for ANY advantage they can ever squeak out. (Billy, I understand your other point and give you props for bringing it up, I just think this one outweighs yours a tad
) Except for one QB instance (Happy Billy?? LOL, the flu sucks, get the family well soon), no ONE player should result in producing TWO TD's.
FWIW, more people in this thread like one or the other. I barely prefer the individual getting them. And that's why I suggested getting rid of ST and making Def more accurate.
In terms of the existing scores for DEF PTS allowed, I would make yardage:
0-150 +5
151-200 +3
201-250 +1
251-300 0
301-350 -1
351-400 -3
400+ -5
I would also add to the existing:
18-27 PTS AGAINST = 0
28-34 = -2
35-41 = -4
42-48 = -8
49+ = -12
(this gives some symmetry to the existing low plus scores)
