    I disagree with this. I feel if a league wants it then they should be available, however I don't think this should be the default.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The only problem with real time stats is they are wildly inaccurate. I agree we should add them as an option, but maybe a note should be appended about their inaccuracy.

  • djzielin commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with your special teams points. However takeaways, like hits and blocked shots are notorious for home cooking manipulation.

  • A Thomas commented  ·   ·  Report

    If the NHL doesn't count it as official stats then Yahoo! shouldn't either

  • Mike L. commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed. If you have a stat provider, let them know there are players who would like to see this in their league; the NHL keeps tabs of it so it shouldn't be too difficult. If you provide your stats, then please add this.

    I think a good way to even the scales between a good NFL defence and a good 'fantasy' defence would be to allow the commissioner to asign a point total to wins for a defence. So if you have the Seahawks Def, and the Seahawks win, you would get ten points for that. It can be frustrating when the best NFL defences don't score as high as mediocre defences in fantasy because mediocre defences allow more scores, so they get more opportunities at return yards and td's. By giving a point value to wins, it raises a good NFL defence's fantasy value, as their team is more likely to win.

    keep anything less than 30 yds at 3pts; then fractional per yards all the way up

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Completely agreed...same for points allowed on defense...the ranges are limiting and useless, that's why I don't currently use K or DEF in my league.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've been wanting this for YEARS, as has my entire league. Every other player gets fractional points, and there should be a distinction between a 30 yd FG vs a 39yd FG. In that example, they are nowhere near equal.

  • Kris commented  ·   ·  Report

    I hope this happens. If you have a fractional for regular players..there should be for kickers too.

  • JIm commented  ·   ·  Report

    I fully agree with this idea. it provides a more uniform scoring based on the length of the kick. prevents a 19yd FG from equaling a 39yd FG.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    P K is right. The commissioner can change the values of field goals per ten yards... but I do like the fact of allowing fractional points. A 15 yard field goal should only be worth 1.5 points... not 2 or 3.

  • Dawg commented  ·   ·  Report

    Disagree!!!
    Too much luck involved in where a kicker is forced to attempt a field goal. Not the same as a rusher or receiver working for yards..
    No!!!

    Since you already have faceoff wins and faceoff losses, please just add the category faceoff win percentage. This is the stat by which centers are generally evaluated in their performance in the faceoff circle.

  • Bear commented  ·   ·  Report

    I like this idea if you were thinking of doing fractional scoring for kickers (which is a pretty decent idea). Thanks Curtis.

  • Landon commented  ·   ·  Report

    Punters is a position that could easily be tracker. Net yards, inside 20, blocked punts. It adds a new wrinkle.

  • J.K. commented  ·   ·  Report

    I believe that this becomes too many yardage categories.
    If you do anything to it, make it like yardage points for passing, rushing & receiving --- something like each team starting with 6 points and having .01 point subtracted for each yard allowed, or starting with 40 points and having .1 point subtracted for each yard allowed.
    Obviously, this plan also works for points scored against the DEF -- each team starting with 10 points and having .25 point subtracted for each point scored.
    And it works well with FGs -- 3 points per FG plus .1 point for each yard of distance beyond 18 yards.
    And it would cause no problems for the "Negative" leagues (the leagues where players lose points for scoring). Their DEFs could start with zero points and receive .01 point for each yard allowed, or .1 point for each yard allowed. And they could start with zero points and receive .1 point for point scored against them, or 1 point for each point scored against them, or whatever factor the Commish decides to put into the settings.
    I expect that a computer can more efficiently crank out scores using a simple equation such as these than go through a series of if-then statements while awarding points, and the fractional points greatly reduce the probablility of a tie in a head-to-head match.
