Do you pay attention to your league scoring from last year?

[keggerz]

Fixed your post.

 

 

The only 1 required RB is a hugh factor.

i dont expect him to send me 3 yrs and for what I am going to show, one year will suffice

 

edit: i was gonna just use one of my leagues but since his QB scoring is so high I would rather use his for this exercise

Looking forward to it. You are a stats fiend after all.

value is better measured in comparison with other starters at the position. if 14 of the top 20 scorers are QBs, that tells me you can reasonably expect to wait until like the 8th round to draft a top 20 scorer -- at QB.

 

assume you have 12 QB starters, 24 RB starters, 36 WR starters. what do you expect to be the difference between the #1 QB and the #12 QB? how does that compare with the difference between the top RB and the #24 RB?

 

value is effected most by scarcity, not by scoring system.

 

+1. This is why you should always arrange players into tiers, it makes the dropoffs obvious and compels you to make the right decisions under the gun. Usually there is less urgency to take a QB than to take a top RB or WR, regardless of the scoring.

 

In NFL.com scoring (at least in seasons past), a ridiculously high value was placed on defenses, and usually there was a steep drop from the top 2 or 3 to the rest of the pack, so I made it a point to be the first to draft a defense.

As noted by others earlier, it's not the level of scoring that matters as much as the drop off to the marginal starter. In most systems, that usually favors the RB over the QB.

 

The exception would be if it was a flex league where QB was flex eligible.

[Pillsbury]

Big John and BB bring up a point in another thread that makes me wonder.

 

The top 9 scorers from last year in one league I am in are QBs. 14 out of the top 20... QBs.

 

The top RB ranked 10th and the top WR ranked 44th.

 

So my league scoring tells me that a QB in the first round isn't all that out of line.

 

Is that off the wall thinking? Should I ignore that and go with RBs anyway?

 

Wonder what league you're talking about Sky
