Scoring - Team Position Points
This scoring setting credits all points scored by a specific position on an NFL team to the manager who rosters them. Most commonly, team QBs are used in this scenario. For example, if Russell Wilson gets hurt, the team that started him would get the points from Geno Smith for the rest of the game. Currently we don't offer this setting.

This article sums up a great solution to TD scoring being poached or vultured by back up RBs, as well as the loss of RBs and/or QBs to injury, especially mid-game. I would like the option of allowing my league to draft team RB stables (maximum 3) and team QB stables (maximum 2) for seasons beginning in 2016. I have participated in leagues which allow this and it makes the playing field more level for all managers.

Certainly to implement this would be with the caution that if the backup was on another roster, the owner of the player who was injured would be out of luck.
Based upon this, that some owners would be lucky (because no other owner had the backup player) and some owners would be unlucky (because another owner did own the backup), I think in the end, this idea doesn't work. To me, it would create an unlevel playing field which would be worse than the problem it is trying to correct.

Seriously might be one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard. I suppose you want the back up rb, wr, te and k too?

sounds too complicated for me. one of my managers thinks she should have all players for a team (e.g. if you have Foster you have all Houston running backs). Those are the breaks and chances you takes Our league has 3 flex to even out one players bad performance.

the example was used in the RG3 case, how would it work If I had RG3 and a someone else had Cousins? Do we both get the back up points, or does the person who has Cousins get the points. I say keep it the same. If a player goes down you are SOL for the day. That's the whole point of (FF). Oh I like the option to take a my starting RB who stinks that day and to put in one on the bench who has scored a lot. I may be champ every year with this concept.

Then you are taking the fun/challenge out of playing fantasy. If you did it for QB's, you would have to do it for all positions.
Sometimes your starter gets hurt. Dems da breaks

hahahahaha! Dumbest idea ever. One of the reasons why some players are ranked higher than others is their propensity for injury, like RG3. Implementing this ******** proposal would skew the true rankings. How utterly lame.

It's stupid to have your whole season ruined or a game ruined because your QB went down, real nfl teams throw in back up QB2. Id like an option to switch it so you take all QBs of a team, if rg3 goes down then cousins starts scoring immediately
