How much should I bump up QB's?

[49erAddict-08]

My league is standard performance scoring except QBs get:

 

6 pts - All TD's

1 pt - 25 yds passing

-2 pts - INTs and Fumbles Lost

 

How much more valuable are QBs in a league like this as compared to one which awards 4 pts per passing TD?

[lynch]

Peyton would have had almost 100 more points at 6pt TD over 4 pt TD.

 

Most QB's are about 45-60 pts more valuable, but the entire thing to that is that they are all the same amount inflated. SO don't move your rankings much at all. The same value at QB applies, Look for a solid QB2 in a value spot or take a QB3 in the later rounds, if you look at the fall off in scoring between QBs you will see less of a gap between the people in each tier. The dropoff at RB and WR is still greater.

 

Therefor still use the plan of drafting the player to give you the most impact every week, not just the one who scores the most points,i.e.

 

The top two QB's are gone as are the RB1&2 there has been a run on WR and you are left looking at TE and WR2 level players. You should probably have a RB our two. Do you take a WR that may score a few more points a year, but there are several of the same caliber left? Or do you take Gates or Gonzo who leave he rest of the TE pack behind? Do you look at the QB2 pack who are all similar and are not that much better than the QB3?

 

Don't look at just the points from the years past look at where the value will be this round and the next couple, finding the patterns in each draft and reading them and staying ahead of the runs is how you have a succesful draft IMHO.

What is the point structure for other positions? Do you get points for receptions? Is it 1 point for 10 yards rushing or receiving?

 

These are factors also in where to rank players overall.

 

My main league has never had negative points, so that throws in a new wrinkle to me.

 

I agree that you still need "value" picks and try not to get caught up in the "I need to get a QB in round 3 because 3 of them are gone."

 

We had a guy a few years ago who was drafting at #10 in a 10 team league. He drafted the best available player from his cheat sheet every round. He ended up with 2 QB and 1 WR at the end of the 3rd round. His theory was that he could trade Brett Favre for a 1st round RB when someone had QB trouble. It didn't work out for him and he was scrambling all year picking up every backup running backaround. Needless to say he didn't win too many games.

 

The point here is that he may have gotten the "best player on the board", but compared to his needs and what other player were drafting he didn't get much value.

Thanks for the responses. My league doesn't award any points for receptions. Rush/Rec yds are the standard 1pt = 10 yards.

My 14 team league has 1 pt per 30 yds passing, 6 pts per TD, -3 per INT and 1 pt for ever 15 yds rushing (for the mobile QBs of the league.) When the season was done, the top 12 league scorers were QBs, with #13 being RB Shaun Alexander. Brtet Favre averaged 16.88 (High week 38 pts, low week -1) points per game compared to compared to the 13.4 per week high week 29 pts, low week 2) put up by Alexander. Our QBs tend to be more valuable than RBs week in & week out and as a result, turn out to be first round picks. I don’t know if this helps at all, but I figured I’d share.

Good luck.

I took at a look at the the way the drafts are going on CBS Sportsline (6 pts for TD, 1 pt/25 yds passing) and right now the first three picks are going 1. Manning 2. Culpepper 3. McNabb. This is a big departure from past drafts which featured a run on RBs early. Other QBs are going fairly early, too and more WRs are going in the first three rounds. I was thinking I'd go for a QB earlier than I have in the past, but I don't know if I want to pay this price. If you don't go QB you can probably get at least one tier 1 RB, a tier 1 WR or TE, and a tier 2 RB in the first three rounds. The average QBs seem to be going about where they normally go. You might wind up with Hasselback, Palmer, Brady, Plummer or Brooks in the 4th or 5th round. What do you guys think?
