I personally disagree with this. Kickers can have 0 but getting punished for your last or second to last round pick missing a 45 yard field goal seems like a bit much. They are an afterthought at best and in a deep league, going negative because you didn't get 1 of the top 6 kickers seems unfair. 

They shouldn’t be an afterthought if they are on your roster. I am not oppose to eliminating kickers all together or adding punters but if they are an included position then they need to be able to have the same consequences as any other player for negative performances.

To add to this.... I have won matchups with a very good performance from a kicker; as a matter of fact I've had weeks where the kicker outscored multiple positions.  
Kickers are certainly not an afterthought...even with 14 teams.

Love all the responses and completely understand where everyone is coming from. Bonuses can be tricky to predict, but that's part of the fun, no? 

 

Regardless, just wanted to present some alternative takes. I do think Defense should have more ability to boost your scores than they currently do.

Ahh fair enough on both counts. I worded that poorly. My intention is just to say that draft position tends to dictate the level of kicker you get and its not a position that is traded often in deep leagues. I just don't want to see late draft positions unfairly punished for what is essentially the luck of the draw. You already get punished for a getting a bad kicker, taking negative points just adds insult to injury. It can be a rich get richer type of thing and cause a larger disparity between the first and second half of the leaderboard in deep leagues. Thats all. 

Someone could take a kicker early, but I doubt they are prioritizing a kicker over a DST no matter what. We have all won and lost due to our kickers. Its just a league health issue to me. There wont be any good kickers post draft. Unless an injury occurs or something crazy, the likelihood that you end up with a competitive kicker post draft is pretty low with 14 teams. 

That being said if everyone agrees to it then I am game. I just want to make sure everyone is informed. There were decisions made last year that weren't discussed thoroughly that people later complained about. So I think its important to have both sides presented even if it makes me the bad guy in this case.

rushing attempts.... so if Adrian Peterson has 22 rushes for 36 yards he gets rewarded for that?  So you could be rewarding a team that wants to run a lot but has a crappy o-line?

Nah... no way.

I'd rather reward Nick Chubb when he has 3 rushes for 105 yards.  That is due to either a good o-line or a skilled runner.

But that's not the point. AP got the work which should somewhat be rewarded. Even if it's just a little bit per touch. I don't see other folks complaining when James White gets ppr points for catching 11 balls for 55 yards. That's a 16 point day for basically the same production vs a 3 point day for your scenario.

Now I'm not saying that a carry should score the same as a catch but .2 - .25 points per carry seems in the ballpark if you are in a full point PPR league.
Keep this in mind. A single player averaged 20 carries per game last year. Only 7 average 15 carries. Only 23 average 10 or more carries. This isn't the same NFL as 10+ years ago.

Fair enough....but the James White example doesn't hold water for me because it's a PPR league and that's the type of reward you should get when starting a player like that.

I remember owning Alfred Morris... he'd have 15 carries for 89 yards, which is a good day, but unless he scored a TD it was crap....but that was in a PPR league and I learned my lesson.

If you're in a standard league I get the attempts thing but in a PPR league it's all about the catches....

not that I agree that 1 catch for 1 yard should equal a 10 yard rush, but that's the way it is....

I find the points per rush attempt thing intriguing...a quarter point seems worth it. Makes some guys on my late round draft list look alot more interesting. That also means running QB's get more value as well.

I'm on board with points per rush as well.  I don't want our league to reward only one type of player or one style of offense.  There should be value across the board regardless of style of play and a good day should reflect as such in fantasy.  This opens up another layer of strategy and effectively makes our player pool deeper.  

 

Agree with @Undershooter that .25 is an appropriate amount.

Itsway too early to ask but I'm going to anyway, Is there any potential timeframe for when you are hoping to do the draft? You said early, just curious how early?

I’ve enjoyed the .5 PPR leagues I’ve played in. .1 seems fair for rushes. There are a few backs that carry the load and could be rewarded for that. 1 point for 10 carries doesn’t feel unfair.

That's my point. Leagues and scoring evolve as the NFL does. Back 5 or however many years ago when we started this, standard scoring (no ppr) was the norm. Now, PPR scoring seems to be the most common format of all leagues.
So good Fantasy players predict more easily which players have a high floor because they catch balls to boost their rushing totals.

 

These days, with all the RB by committee, it seems fair to get something for a rush, even if it's just .2 or .25 points. Because the days of hand it off 40 plus times is a thing of the past. I'd bet there have been more 15 catch games than 40 carry games the last few years and I'd bet it isn't close.

Ok, .02 time on issues brought up

Bonuses: Not a huge fan, unless we set them at higher tier (500 yards passing, 200 yards running or receiving, 50+ yard touchdown rushing or receiving). At lower levels would absolutely wreck havok allowing a double bounce for a good performance

Punters: As someone who ran a league with punters once upon a time, I'm for it. We kept kickers in as well. Scored net yardage average, downed inside 20, touchbacks, and blocks

Defensive Scoring: So, this one is a little outside the box and hopefully may answer some complaints. If we're all starting a DST, that's 14 and only 16 teams will win a game in a given week, excluding potential ties. Plus, it doesn't leave a lot of streaming options for teams who whiff on top tier DSTs. So, what's a league to do?  IDP's. You want more selection with players, give us IDPs, everyone picks a player at all three levels, DL, LB, DB. Hell you wanna really get wild, that flex position we're discussing? Open to both sides of the ball. 2 Flex spots, one offense, one defense.  Maybe the most wild idea of what I'm thinking, but perhaps worth a consideration.

Missed Kicks: Missed extra point should definitely be a negative, most likely minus 1, duh. Now, not sure how the Fantrax scoring works but perhaps we could tier the missed field goal scoring based on league accuracy? For example:

Last year kickers took 500 Field Goals inside 40 yards, they missed 20: a 96% completion rate

295 Field Goals were attempted between 40-49 yards, kickers missed 70: a 76% completion rate

152 Field Goals were attempted from beyond 50 yards, kickers missed 55: a 64% completion rate

So why do I bore you with these stats, to prove these kicks aren't equal and shouldn't be scored as such. A miss from 50 happens nearly 9 times more often than a miss from under 40. Therefore, if we are scoring misses, if possible, a miss from closer should be penalized more than a miss from a further distance.  My suggestion, Miss from under 40, minus 1, miss from 40-49, minus .5, miss from 50+ no penalty. I'd be willing to go to minus 2, minus 1 and minus .5 as well, but that also means missed extra point should be brought under the same scoring as missed under 40 since it was statistically harder to hit an extra point last year (96% v. 94.3%)

FAAB: Love it, nothing better than watching panic stricken owners blow alot of budget on a guy who turns out to go down two weeks later and bidding them up on players you don't specifically need

Rushing Attempts: Love the idea, depends on the reward. .25 seems a decent number, a 20 carry game gets you an extra 5 points. Brings some guys who would be absolute afterthoughts back on the table, slightly bumps some qb's or even receivers and TE's in exotic packages. I'm here for it.

Alright, that's all you get for a couple of pennies these days, can't wait to see how this round of discussion merits out.

There's a lot of good points here. With that said, I'm out on IDP for a 30ish team league. It's a lot to keep up with for some newer players imo. Love FAAB. Hate Bonuses.

 

We have fundamental disagreements on punters and kickers, but I do agree with the kicker scoring if we decide to keep the soccer players.

Bonuses: Not a huge fan, unless we set them at higher tier (500 yards passing, 200 yards running or receiving, 50+ yard touchdown rushing or receiving). At lower levels would absolutely wreck havok allowing a double bounce for a good performance
Punters: As someone who ran a league with punters once upon a time, I'm for it. We kept kickers in as well. Scored net yardage average, downed inside 20, touchbacks, and blocks
Defensive Scoring: So, this one is a little outside the box and hopefully may answer some complaints. If we're all starting a DST, that's 14 and only 16 teams will win a game in a given week, excluding potential ties. Plus, it doesn't leave a lot of streaming options for teams who whiff on top tier DSTs. So, what's a league to do?  IDP's. You want more selection with players, give us IDPs, everyone picks a player at all three levels, DL, LB, DB. Hell you wanna really get wild, that flex position we're discussing? Open to both sides of the ball. 2 Flex spots, one offense, one defense.  Maybe the most wild idea of what I'm thinking, but perhaps worth a consideration.
Missed Kicks: Missed extra point should definitely be a negative, most likely minus 1, duh. Now, not sure how the Fantrax scoring works but perhaps we could tier the missed field goal scoring based on league accuracy? For example:
Last year kickers took 500 Field Goals inside 40 yards, they missed 20: a 96% completion rate
295 Field Goals were attempted between 40-49 yards, kickers missed 70: a 76% completion rate
152 Field Goals were attempted from beyond 50 yards, kickers missed 55: a 64% completion rate
So why do I bore you with these stats, to prove these kicks aren't equal and shouldn't be scored as such. A miss from 50 happens nearly 9 times more often than a miss from under 40. Therefore, if we are scoring misses, if possible, a miss from closer should be penalized more than a miss from a further distance.  My suggestion, Miss from under 40, minus 1, miss from 40-49, minus .5, miss from 50+ no penalty. I'd be willing to go to minus 2, minus 1 and minus .5 as well, but that also means missed extra point should be brought under the same scoring as missed under 40 since it was statistically harder to hit an extra point last year (96% v. 94.3%)
FAAB: Love it, nothing better than watching panic stricken owners blow alot of budget on a guy who turns out to go down two weeks later and bidding them up on players you don't specifically need
Rushing Attempts: Love the idea, depends on the reward. .25 seems a decent number, a 20 carry game gets you an extra 5 points. Brings some guys who would be absolute afterthoughts back on the table, slightly bumps some qb's or even receivers and TE's in exotic packages. I'm here for it.
Alright, that's all you get for a couple of pennies these days, can't wait to see how this round of discussion merits out.

I agree not all missed field goals should be penalized the same. I would be good with -1 inside 40yds, -.5 40-49yds, and no penalty for 50+.
I am all for .25 points per carry as well. Would have made Josh Allen even more valuable!
I have never been a fan of bonuses unless it is a NFL record style bonus. Break a single game record get a bonus.
Not against IDP or free agent bidding but have never done a league with them yet so I am intrigued but will not cast a vote either way.

I will end with this

I'd like to chime in with my two cents on some of the proposed rules. 

Bonuses: I'm fine with them if it's a bonus for an extraordinary performance. If the threshold is 100 yards rushing or 300 yards passing, I'm not a fan. 

Punters: The hardest of hard passes on including punters. I've been in a league that included them before. I did not enjoy it. I put them on the same level as including head coaches or nonsense like that. It's 100% unnecessary. 

Defensive scoring: The only thing I caught was a mention of IDP, and yeah, hard pass on that too. Admittedly I need to go back over a few more posts to read the specifics, but if the D/ST scoring is somewhat traditional I'm onboard with it. 

Rushing attempts: I've gotta admit, I'm lukewarm on this one, but am definitely not opposed to it. The point about there not being many bellcow backs these days is well taken, which is why I think it could work. It's entirely dependent on the point value, though and I think .25 is a bit high to be honest. 

FAAB: Definitely makes the WW more lively and I'm a fan of watching people blow their budgets week to week 🤣

Kickers: I am 100% against not including kickers and I think they can be vital members of teams regardless of whether you drafted one or picked one up off the WW. I also tend to agree with a scoring structure that doesn't penalize missed kicks the same. I've been in leagues where kickers were hammered for missing short kicks and lightly penalized for longer kicks. I think the sweet spot is somewhere in between, but I'm sure the commishes will figure it out 😃

.2 points per carry would give 20 carries 4 extra points. .25 would give 20 carries 5 points which is the same thing as 5 catches in a PPR. I might lean slightly toward .2 over .25 but I definitely think there's merit for it to be included in a PPR league. Especially a deep one such as ours where it's not always easy to find players on the WW.

Just took a look at the options and I can confirm that missed kicks penalties based on distance is possible. The vote will probably be a straight yes/no then @Undershooter and I will assign the values on our own if it passes. 

 

You know what else is possible? EVERY. OTHER. FREAKING. STAT. UNDER. THE. SUN. My mind is blown at how many different stats they've added for scoring this year.

  • Yards per rush? Yup that's pretty standard. 
  • Defensive stuffs? You betcha. 
  • Quarterback Rating? ESPN would love this
  • Interceptions returned for touchdowns 30-39 yards? Sure why not. 
  • Average yards after catch? Little precise but sure. 
  • First down percentage rushing? Whoa Nelly

 

I don't think we'll be straying too far into the beyond but it's pretty cool to know we can if we want.

👆x1000000  .... in this day and age if you aren't using FAAB for free agents....SMH

If there is only one change we make -- only one -- this should be THE one...

If we go for FAAB, would you allow a $0 or make it a minimum of $1?

Gotta be 0, unless we do like a 500 dollar budget...right? RIGHT?

I've seen some where they put it at $1 and once you blow through your budget, say $100, then you're done.  I personally would like it to be $0, but I wanted to ask

@GolfSpy STUDque isn't kidding. I was dumbfounded last season when I got to the scoring portion of the commish options. There is the ability to change everything under the sun. (which is why there was a possibility something was off slightly in scoring last year)

 

Plus it looks like they've added a couple of things in the off-season. Say what you will about Fantrax but they are easily the most customize-able fantasy site I've ever seen.



As for FAAB, I'd lean toward $0 but am happy to listen to arguments for both. I've only done $0 FAAB so I have limited experience.

I have never done FAAB before and I have a question. What happens when your budget is gone? Are you no longer allowed to pick up players? What if it is someone no one wants?

The more I use Fantrax the more I like it. I think most of the issues we as a forum have had with them stem from the size of our leagues...I am really enjoying the golf league though. Once you figure it out its pretty intuitive. Hopefully we don't have draft issues like we did last year though. yikes.
