Reminds me...I need to review the setup/rules for this league I'm in with his dad and his people. I know there's stuff that annoys me, and I have to remember to draft appropriately on Sunday.
My money league moved towards allowing a flex position on top of two RB and two WR, so I felt it made RB much more valuable. It also does two points per sack, which changes my defensive preferences.
I was in a league a few years ago where they had IDP and gave a point for every tackle and another point for solo tackles. I think me drafting MLB's early won me that league.
Well, if RB's score a lot more than WR's in that league, then yeah, that really skyrockets RBÂ value.
The scoring settings are standard, but there is a much sharper drop-off at receiver than RB. You're better off having depth at running back than taking a flier on a reciever.
Well, yeah, I realize there is a drop off. My point was that, if RBs score less than WRs, than because WR is deeper, it makes more sense to play a WR there. If RBs score more, given less depth, you can play a quality guy there and he will be going against a lesser scoring position. That is why I have gone away from flex, because if you use it you pretty much have to set up your scoring so that all the flex eligible positions score nearly the same at that depth. I don't want to have to make 3rd WR's, 3rd RB's and 2nd TE's score the same because it screws up the balance at the first and second levels.
I guess my point is that if I had the option of starting Knowshon Moreno or Mike Sims Walker, I'd generally assume Moreno would put up more points for me. That tier of running back is still more valuable to me than a third receiver.
Well, MSW is generally what, like the 15th WR? KM is somewhere in the 20-25 range for RBs, right? So, I would think an well designed scoring system should have MSW score more points than KM. Given that it is a standard scoring system though, which RBs usually own, I too would prefer KM.Â
I was more trying to say that I hate the flex and traditional scoring systems. The number 25 RB should not be drafted ahead of the number 15 WR when both require the same number of starters.
