In my league there is an ongoing debate over yardage threasholds (For receiving or rushing yards not passing, but I would like to make sure we handle passing appropriately too). The league is split into different factions and currently the different options for yardage are such:
1) Eliminate all thresholds
2) Make two 50 yd thresholds - one for receiving and another for rushing
3) Have a 50 yd threshold for combined rushing/receiving yards.
I don't particularly like any of these options. What I really would like to be able to do is to quantify yardage (receiving, rushing & passing) for fantasy football purposes in a way relates to scoring in an actual NFL game.
Question: A guy who scores a TD gets 6 pts, a exta pt 1 pt, a fieldgoal 3 pts, a safety 2. What should ten yds receiving, rushing, or passing be worth?
Has anyone actually gone nerd and tried to figure this out statistically?
Any theories?
