Defensive points allowed settings should be adjusted to stop penalizing PAT after defensive TD during a shutout
As of now, standard scoring for defensive points allowed (PA) is as follows: 10 points for a shutout, 7 points for 1-6 PA, 4 points for 7-13 PA, etc. I believe that there's a commonsense error in this scoring. As an example, let's say the Eagles beat the Cowboys 24-7, and the lone Cowboys TD is scored via defensive TD (pick six, scoop and score, etc.). With the current scoring settings, the Eagles defense loses 3 points for giving up an extra point that was not their fault. I'll stick with my example to avoid confusion: in fantasy football, a Cowboys defensive TD and extra point is the only way the Eagles defense can allow a single point without having allowed more than that to begin with. I believe that Yahoo should change the PA category currently labeled "Shutout" to "0-1 points allowed." Alternatively, Yahoo could insert a section for "1 point allowed," and leave it up to Commissioners to decide the value of an individual extra point, as I understand that some would argue that even an extra point means it wasn't a shutout. I hope this makes sense, and would be happy to discuss this idea with anyone who reads this. Thank you and have a great day.
