electricrelish Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hello, This year our MFL league is allow return yardage. How does one prevent double-dipping? Let's say Devin Hester returns a kickoff for a TD, how would I prevent Chicago Bears from getting that TD score as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 You can't and you shouldn't. If he's got the Bears D and Hester then he deserves both of those TDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Presumably you are asking this question because if a no-name runs the kickoff back you want Chicago ST to get the TD? That seems silly to me. But I don'l believe you can have it both ways ... either special teams get kick off return TDs or they don't, either players get kick off return TDs or they don't.

Seahawks21 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Rules for QB, RB, WR, TE, PK I think the problem is simply that we have: Punt Returns for TD : 6 Kick Returns for TD : 6 -and- Defensive & Special Teams TDs : 6 I think it shouldn't be both. I think if we delete P/K returns for TDs, that an offensive player will get 6 points for any and all TDs they score and receive the 6 pts only once. Yeah? I think after the draft is a little late for this kind of ruling. If somebody was savvy enough to know that he would earn double points for something like that and drafted accordingly, you can't change it up on him now. I do also think that the rule is correct the way it is. Many teams take the special teams returners into account when drafting defenses. I think if you're going to count kick return stats, you need to count them fully. Likewise for defense/special teams stats. How would you like to have the Bears special teams in your lineup and get beat by a Devin Hester return? That doesn't seem very fair.

electricrelish Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Turns out the defense/st was never getting return or punt return TD's as we copied our scoring with the exception of the return yardage from another league. No one was.getting the points for Return Punt and Kickoff TD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
