    I think they need to fix this now! So annoying...

    Season (avg) is a per game stat and should not factor in TOI/G. This makes no sense to me....just because a guy has a better 'per minute' average does not mean that his coach is gonna play him for the same number of minutes as someone else who has the same 'per minute' average. Yahoo please change this! Thank you.

    This situation may call for two equations: 1/ Points for distance of the punt (the longer the better) 2/ For punts fielded inside the 20 yard line, points for closeness to the goal line (the closer to the goal line the better). These two equations should reflect good football strategy well enough.
    I think Chris is correct that a punt that results in a touchback should be scored as though it was fielded at the 20.
    I'd just as soon ignore the length of the return for punter statistics. It can be scored by giving the other team points for return yardage.
    The remaining problem is how to score a blocked punt.

    Should Jim should receive a medal for changing the wording on his comment?
    We get medals for just about everything else.

    1. I also agree on adding punters to yahoo or at least giving you the option of using punters in a private league.

    2. I have always thought about the coaches option too, but when you think about it, you can only use it in a 12 or less team league. In a weekend of games, you'll only have 16 coaches that can win and on bye weeks, you can have a minimum of 13 coaches who will win.

    3. home field advantage is a pretty good idea, at least for sure in the playoffs. I think that the teams with better records should have some advantage over the H2H opponents they play in the playoffs. I've been playing fantasy football for the last 7 years and I can honestly say that the team with best record has won the championship less than 50% of the time.

    NO. Shoot outs do not belong in hockey. PERIOD.

  • Glen commented  ·   ·  Report

    How about options similar to another site where u can set bonuses for receptions per position

    Accepting this idea would also solve the problem that FGs of 60+ yards should count more than 50-59 yard FGs.

    The problem here is that punters generally do not put points on the scoreboard directly. In fact, the punter can only be effective fantasy-wise on drives where his team doesn't score (not counting fake plays).

    Since the punter's greatest asset lies in the field position game, the best stat category to measure the effectiveness of a punter is "Net Punt Yards", which in this case would be the length of the punt minus (or plus) any return yardage gained (or lost) by the receiving team. If the result of the punt is a touchback, then it would be the length of the punt minus 20 yards. (Question: is any penalty yardage gained or lost also included?)

    Also, keep in mind that a guy like Ben Roethlisberger (normally a QB) may occasionally execute a pooch punt, and as such would be eligible for any stats normally associated with a punter.

    The only other category I would consider adding is yardage given up passing and rushing.....reward a defense for holding a team to under 100 yards either passing or rushing and then tier it from there. You could give a defense +1-3 points for holding a team under 100 yards and then subtract -1 for giving up lets say 100-200 and then -2 for 200-300 and -3 for 300-400 and subtract -5 points for giving up 400+ yards passing or rushing. Just a thought
