    I agree the defensive scoring is quite strict/tough but it's just the defense, so ehh.

    Last year the average points given up per game was 23.3 and yards given up were 352. That would result in negative points in this league.

    I don't mind it being strict to score a lot of points but there is nothing worse than getting a big negative score because of your defense.

    I agree, especially when you lose because of it and could have won by simply not playing a defense.

    Just went with primarily standard scoring. I stated multiple times that you guys should let me know if there's anything I should bring up for discussion!

    The only change we could possibly make is to defensive scoring if people were okay with it (because it shouldn't affect how defenses are valued), but probably not.

    Also, an average defensive game usually involves the defense getting a turnover or two so that's an additional 2 to 4 points so I wouldn't say the average game is negative. Defenses are projected about the same as they were last year.

    I'm sure everyone could find something about the league that they don't like.

    What's the difference between getting -5 and your opponent getting 5 compared to getting 0 and your opponent getting 10? Or are you complaining about the scale?

    If y'all want, I could make the scoring for each defensive category outside of turnovers and TDs 2 points higher so there's less negative scores. This wouldn't have really any impact on value of defenses compared to other defenses. Should've been something that was brought up before the draft.

    Like I said, I'm just starting a discussion for next year.

    In a PPR league I'm in favor of all TDs being worth 6 points including QB TDs, Defensive TDs, and Return TDs.

    As for negative points I think it should have to be a truly bad performance to ever get negative in fantasy.

    Nah, let's keep it since people may have valued DSTs differently if the point system was different.

    Also, I'm not complaining just having a discussion.

    QB TDs being worth 6 makes them WAY too valuable. That'd mean a 1st round where they should be 5 or 6 QBs taken because the discrepancy is so much higher between them.

    No way, you're exaggerating a bit. There are a lot of decent QBs. The reason there aren't more taken earlier is because you can still get a decent one if you are say the 10th person to take one compared to if you don't take a RB and are left with scraps. Honestly though, if you're a good fantasy player you should want people to be dumb and take QBs early. Plus QB is the most important position in real football so it makes sense to me that it should be the highest position in fantasy.

    Mahomes still would've had over 400 points with 4 point TDs last year. You're saying he should've had over 520 instead. It would've made QB extremely overpowered, and the QB position far too often would've decided games. 3 TD discrepancy between individual RBs/WRs is huge. For QBs, it's not. Yet that 3 TD discrepancy would've resulted in an extra 18 points...

    This isn't real football, it's fantasy.

    Well, Mahomes was the MVP of the NFL last year so yeah he should be worth a lot of points in fantasy, ha ha.

    I'm not quite following you on the 3 TD thing. He threw 50 TDs so he would've been worth 100 more points last year. That's an average of 6.67 points in the 15 weeks of the game. Every other QB would've been less significant since he put up by far the best numbers.

    If a QB sneaks in a 1 yard TD run it's worth more than throwing a 40 yd TD pass. That doesn't compute with me. PPR leagues are specifically designed to close the gap between positional players and QB. My other two leagues are not PPR and it's nowhere near as slanted as you make it seem. In fact QBs went in about the same positions they went in this league which makes your several would go in the first round comment not true.

    You're arguing TDs should be equal, so why not yards too?
    He would've averaged 30 fantasy points per game. That's ridiculous. A 5-TD, 400 yard passing game shouldn't be worth 50-70 points. Passing stats are lowered to account for the volume of each. I will never make passing TDs 6 points. I've never heard of a league other than the one you mentioned make passing TDs worth 6 points.

    5 TDs and 400 yards passing in a game would be worth 46 points so I'm not sure where you are getting possibly 70 from. I've heard of lesser TD leagues or all TD leagues so I'm not going to pretend like those don't exist but they are definitely rare. ESPN is the only site I know of that has 4 points as the standard.
