PigInZen Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) OK, here's a question: last year we ran the following point rules for QBs in my league (I'm the commissioner): TDs 6 points 20 yds passing 1 point 10 yds rushing 1 point Interception -2 points Fumble -2 points Needless to say, QBs were 8 of the top 10 point earners. Manning and Culpep were nearly ONE HUNDRED points above the next QB (McNabb). Now there's a debate over changing the league rules to either 1 point per 50 yards of passing, 6 points per passing TD or 1 point per 25 yards passing, 4 points per passing TD. I'm in favor of the latter but want to get an idea of other opinions. Your thoughts? edit: almost forgot - we have 14 teams in the league this year. Up from 10 last year. 1 QB, 2 RB, 1 WR, 2 WR/TE, 1 TE, 1 PK, 1 TD Edited August 13, 2005 by PigInZen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Depends in part if you're trying to "level the field" across all positions, or just for QBs ... that latter may be tough to do. Try this: Perfect Scoring System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this: Perfect Scoring System 925106[/snapback] Thanks, ts, one of the guys in the league circulated it today. And to think I believed I'd read everything at the huddle over the years... I think we're just out to bring the QBs down to earth a bit. I can see Manning, Culpep and McNabb up there with the Tier 1 RBs but EIGHT QBs is a bit ridiculous.

Big Country Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Are you looking ot make it so the positions score similarly, or so that the values are closer. Just because 8 of the top 10 overall players were QBs does not neccessarily mean they were more valuable. Well, Manning and Cpep yes, but they had HUGH seasons. If it were me, the 25 yard and 4 TD would be a better alternative. Better balance between yardage and TDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Man Inc Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I like 25 yards per point and 4 point TDs. That's how my league has always done it and it usually doesnt make QBs too valuable. Last year was a little different because of the huge stats that Manning and CPep put up. With 50 yards per point and 6 point TDs it makes TDs too valuable, in my opinion. Imagine player 1 throws for 400 yards and 1 TD (unlikely yes, but just an example) and player 2 throws for 100 yards and 2 TDs, both players score the same amount of points??? That doesnt sound like a good balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Smales Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 We've always used 1/25yds and 6/TD in a league and the QB's usually have one or two in the top 5, but never 8 in the top 10 (that I can remember). Does it really matter if QB's score that much relative to other positions, unless you start 2 QB's? Yes it moves the stud QB's up the overall rankings for your league, but tht's a good thing IMO since you'll slow down the RB hoarding in the first few rounds to get a few QB's sprinkled into the early draft. The guys that take a QB early almost always sacrifice RB strength on their teams, but the reward for them is the higher point total each week from their QB can make this up somewhat. We always seem to have good parity in this league which makes it more fun for me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatSeeker Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 You should do a calculation of the QBs based on your league scoring and the changes you would make (4pts tds / 25 yds) What would have been the results in 2004...just do those top 10 QBs and see where they'd fit in the final 2004 scoring. If the QB scoring drops dramatically, you'll end up with everyone selecting RBs the first 2 rounds...and personally, I hate drafts like that. We've developed a scoring system that balances the scoring enough so that you need to consider what player to draft, and not to draft the 14th best RB before Moss or Harrison simply because there is a RB available. I read and agree with the perfect scoring system proposed here at the Huddle. We don't use that system ....as we built ours over a number of years, but looking at the system and results, our scores and graphs are similar. Good luck....but try and steer away from something that won't make your draft interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thews40 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Fractional points are where it's at. .03 points per yard with 4 points per TD will bring Manning down to the human level, but at 1 point for 20 you're at 0.5/yard. WR's and RB's should get 0.1 point per yard rushing/receiving combined. This gets rid of ties and rewards every yard. If you have a mandatory TE they should get 1 point per reception and WR/RB get 0.5 point per reception. This evens things out a bit and will put Gonzo early in round 2.

Dr. Love Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I like to de-emphasize TD's and normalize scoring so that a good day by a QB is about the same as a good day from a RB or WR. Four point TD's help this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavinRJohnson Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 A QB point for 20 yds (or 25 yds) passing is ridiculous. Why don't you start awarding QB yardage points at 250 yards and bonuses at 300,250, 400 yards? A QB that is 6-15, 80 yds, 0 TD, 0 INT, should not earn you diddly, never mind 3 or 4 fantasy points. I suggest you start your fix there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhayhurst Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) This seems to work out well with our 12man league Completions (.5) Incomplete Passes (-.5) Passing Yards (50 yards per point) Passing Touchdowns (7) Interceptions (-2) With this system, there are 4qbs in the top 10 - Manning, C-Pep, McNabb, T.
