Hester & Yahoo Scoring Question

[Eagle Baseball]

Excuse me it this is a dumb question but here goes. If I have Hester on my active roster as a WR and he returns a KO/P for a touchdown do I get 6 points even though it is not a rushing/receiving touchdown or do I need to have the Bears DEF/ST to get the points?

It depends on your league settings, I believe. Most leagues I play in award Kickoff/punt returns to the individual player, which can make Hester a stud if he gets even mediocre numbers at WR this year. (1000/3, plus 5-6 return TDs is pretty good.)

Really think he gets 1,000 yards receiving this year? (Or am I reading it wrong?)

[eaglesrule]

no, but he will get 1000 kick return yards this year. I had him and cribbs in one league last year, and it worked pretty well actually. problem is, they never "exploded" like a real WR would, so you need to kind of factor it in as taking a gentleman's "four" and calling it a day from that slot. nice thing is, you probably won't get bageled either.

Nah, I don't think he gets 1000 yards. I just said if he gives you a mediocre year at WR, if you get return TD points for individual players, it sorta balances out.

If you get return yards too he's a beast however.

It all depends on your settings. Our leagues grant the return TDs to the individual players, while other leagues only award them to the team defense/special teams unit (and I bet there are leagues that award to both)...just double check your league settings.

If you are in a Yahoo! public league, return touchdowns do count for six points.

I'm almost certain that unless your leagues doesn't award points for touchdowns then he will get the points. I don't think I know any leagues that don't give points for TDs.

Where this is more of an issue is on Def/ST. Yahoo default doesn't award points to Ds for return TDs.
