Yardage Rules

[Disbelieving Lions Fan]

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?

Nope. We do 1 pt for each 10 yards rushing or receiving and 1 pt for each 25 passing. Some guys in the league want to set a threshhold for points, whereby a RB or WR needs to get at least 50 yards to score any points. I am not sure I like it.
