abenjami Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 @Cyrus The 3 point passing TD's was my bad. I could have sworn it said that last night when I was on the website looking at the scoring system. Personally, I would prefer kickers to get 3 points per FG regardless of the distance. I have never understood 4 and 5 point FG's in leagues where all TD's are worth 6. What about possibly eliminating PAT's? I have always felt those were cheesy points for kickers to get and it might be fun to do that. I agree with your thoughts on the 0.5 PPR format but still disagree on the roster format. I agree it shouldn't be tough to start 2 RB's. My concern is teams being able to start 3 RB's. Let's be honest here. We all know who the main producers are right now and we'll all pay dearly for them at the draft. Then we are all going to stockpile as many RB's as we can until every back in the league is gone, hoping to get the next Arian Foster or Michael Turner. It's going to cause a situation where someone has 3 stud RB's and they are going to be unbeatable because they can start all of them every week. Regarding TE's, yes the talent pool is limited but i'm not saying you have to start 2 of them, just the option should be there so that teams can put their best on the field and not have to bench a stud because he's classified as a TE instead of a WR. It will also help keep the auction draft more honest IMO since there won't be a penalty for carrying two good TE's. IMO the solution is change the flex from RB/WR to WR/TE.

wiscotitansfan Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 These rules need to change. I hate RB centric leagues. Passing TDs need to be worth 4 points minimum and we should have 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1Flex (RB,WR,TE), 1K, and 1DEF/ST. I'd be all for allowing QB at FLEX as well. Yes, minus the 2nd QB.

Guest Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 A flex qb in a 12 team league would be hard to do fairly. It works great in 14 team league with a salary cap though. I understand why it scares people off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I just don't like it because it's not realistic. You don't start 2 QB's in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I just don't like it because it's not realistic. You don't start 2 QB's in real life. Well you don't start 11 guys on defense either. I'm not sure realism has anything to do it with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscotitansfan Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I just don't like 2 QBs because if you have 1 top QB it can completely sway your team, you get 2 of the top 5 and it will end every person in the leagues season. No other position will do that. Last year in non-dynasty leagues you could easily take Romo and Rivers past the 10th rd each, if you took both of them in a 2 QB league you would damn near be guaranteed to win (obviously would have to take them earlier but still much later than the likes of Luck who is rated high) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you carry two top ten QBs you will have deficiencies in other areas.I'm not advocating for it. Like I said I know people have strong feelings about it however it can work if you put the proper safeguards in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love fantasy football however it's not even remotely realistic. Just think about it. You compile a team that produces statistics which are converted into a point system. Your opponent does the same thing under the guise of a head to head matchup. In reality you are playing against yourself and your ability to manage your roster and find matchups. Thats it.

I don't think it's anywhere close to actually being realistic in terms of how it works. I'm more talking about the building a roster part of it with one starting QB you hang your hat on along with a supporting cast of backs and receivers. Obviously using DST's instead of individual players on defense is less realistic too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run a league that allows QB at Flex however we have a salary cap and only allow 2 QBs on the roster (3 if you have one at Flex). You can only have one guy designated as FLEX at any given time so its not the advantage it appears to be. The other thing is that we play IDP (2DT, 2LB, and 2 DB) so you have a much larger roster to manage and keep under the cap. I agree that playing with a 2nd QB in traditional formats would be a huge problem so it doesn't really apply in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality you are playing against yourself and your ability to manage your roster and find matchups. Thats it. I always wanted a league where it was more you versus your opponent by making your defense affected your opponents score like this: Defense does not score points for your team it only affects your opponents score by having two factors, a rushing, and passing based on what it actually does. You have some % brackets scoring system based on how your defense does and apply those factors to your opponents players score adjusting accordingly. For example say rush defense brackets are 0-50 yards: 25%, 51-75: 50%, 76-99:75% 100-149: 100%, 150-199: 125%, 200-224: 150% 225+:200% and your defense allows only 80 yards rushing. Your opponents RBs score 'normal points under your system" X 75%. QBs, WRs and TEs would be affected by your defense's passing numbers in similar way.

Cornrow Wallace Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Any chance we could push the draft back 15 minutes? I work until 9PM EST and it usually takes me 10 minutes to bike home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 @abenjami, @CMJ, @TitansGuru, @oldschool, @Cornrow Wallace, @9 Nines, @wiscotitansfan, @jonashyde, @NashvilleNinja, @TitanJoe. Just a reminder that the auction draft is this Saturday at 6:15 Pacific time. (8:15 Central, 9:15 Eastern). This is full keeper (Dynasty) so set your pre-draft values accordingly if you may be late or have an unstable connection. This draft is the most important one so don't miss it.
