QB scoring settings in relation to other positions...

[moose162]

Since Yahoo just drastically changed their default QB settings from 20 yds=1 pt and 1 TD= 6 pts to 25 yds=1 pt and 1 TD= 4 pts, I was wondering what you guys use in your leagues.

we've usually used 25 yds per point and 6 pts per touchdown with 10 yds per point and 6 pt tds for backs/receivers. I really think 4 pts per TD is over the top. Quarterbacks are supposed to be among the highest scorers because you only start one and the difference between the elite and the average is so small in comparison to the difference among backs/receivers.

I do too. I think the way most leagues default--two starting RB, flex, really artifically enhances the value of running backs anyway. QBs are far and away the most important position in real football (unless of course you have an abnormally talented guy at another position), but in fantasy, they are devalued as it is because of scarcity affecting the rbs so much. I think its kind of silly really, and really handcuffs the qbs even more.

Not really sure it is going to make that much difference

In a game from last season, under my scoring .05 per passing yard and 4 points per TD the final score was:
108.7 to 97.35

The QBs in the game were Bulger(108.7) and Kitna (97.35). They scored 22.8 and 21.75 respetivley.

Under yahoos old format they score:
Bulger - 23 Kitna - 22

Under the new format, they score:
Bulger - 18 Kitna - 16

So what does that mean? Nothing. The difference is 1 point which doesn't affect the outcome of the game either. A yahoo score would go from 87-78 to 82-72

Not that big of a deal in my opinion. Let's not always look at the final yearly stats, but it it to real life game level and see how it affects games

My league really bumps QB value, 1 pt/20 yards passing, 6 pts per TD, +2 points per 20 yards of length

ex: 40 yard TD = 10 points for the TD, and 2 for the yardage

We use 25 yds=1 pt and 1 TD= 4 pts, bonus points for 300+ yds

I think that is fair compared to our other positions.

10 yds=1pt and 1TD = 6 pts for all others

Personally, I'm leaving the Passing TD at 6. Bottomline, why should I take 2 points off it. A TD is a TD.
