What is the over/under for number of times Tyreek leaves the game hurt and comes back in?  I'm thinking at least 2 times.

[Showboat 247]

I'm betting that absolutely no one needed a score from Malik Washington to win their game this week.

[Mike FF Today 709]

Tyreek Hill's first catch comes with 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

On the other hand, seems like Waddle had 2 catches for 52 yards on the 1st drive & hasn't been heard from since.

Rozenboom slapping the ground because he thinks he should've intercepted a ball he catches 0 out of 1000 times.  I noticed these defenders waaaay overestimate their hands.

[nobody 2,461]

Impressive play by Tua.  Playing with fire squaring up on that throw to Mostert with that linebacker bearing down on him 

[Mike FF Today 709]

9 minutes left in the game...

Waddle: 3-57-0
Hill: 2-13-1 

[Ramrock 17]

Need a td not a Fg . Let's GO

[LVSaint429 16]

Was up by almost 20 & all he had was Karty. Sweating it out now after 3 field goals, 2 over 50 yds

[nobody 2,461]

The kicking this year is crazy.  I'm going to do away with the length bonuses in my league next year.

[nobody 2,461]

I completely forgot Odell was on this Dolphins team.

[nobody 2,461]

Okay Rams.  The line must be drawn... HERE!  This far!  NO FURTHER!

 

[Ramrock 17]

Dropping Tucker for Karty tomorrow,  karty has the same amount of 50 yard fg tonight., as Tucker has all year.

why would you do that?    This is the one thing that separates good kickers from great.

it actually makes the position fantasy relevant.    Drafting a good kicker can actually be...... moderately important.

getting rid of that rule would make them unimportant again.   I'd  keep it.

[nobody 2,461]

I'm doing it because every kicker is booting 50+ yarders like it's routine.

[Ramrock 17]

Agree, bush move

Eh .. I'd keep the bonuses for distance.  Other positions have .. "yardage bonuses" - you don't JUST get points for TDs..

 

If you're going to change the KCR slot, then just do away with it, entirely, like the DFS sites have.

well, I think the bonuses for distance need to be tweaked in some cases.

my league gives double points for 50+ yard FG.     maybe given the change maybe it should be 4 points for 50+ and double for anything longer than 55 (or maybe 60)

my league is just one example.

either way, I still think the elite kickers will shine with the distance bonuses and I think its a good thing to keep them.    Not all kickers can do 50+ reliably.  but your top 8 or 10 of them do and the elite ones can do 55 fairly reliably.

if your elite guys are doing that, you maybe need to move those guys up your draft list.   an elite kicker is a significant advantage now given those bonuses and we as drafters need to adjust for this.

maybe move to decimal: ie:

everything 30 and under= 3

34 yd= 3.4, 47= 4.7, 61= 6.1; etc

[nobody 2,461]

I'm going 3 for everything under 60 and 4 for 60 and above.

I thought about this before, but I'd probably .02 points for every yard over 30.

[nobody 2,461]

The reason, I'm scaling this back is there's too much luck involved.

Yes a kicker can be elite.  But kickers in general are scoring too high and it's adding too much luck.

I don't want games won/lost because a team can't score and kicks more FGs because they can't score TDs.  That's not a big deal when kickers are scoring 8 and 12 is a good day.  Now with this 50 yard bombs, kickers are regularly scoring in the teens.  I just don't want that in my league.

If you don't want FGs deciding games, eliminate the kicker position as suggested earlier.  If you are worried about too much luck involved, you probably shouldn't be playing FF.

[nobody 2,461]

Nah, I'm just going to eliminate the length bonuses.

You seem very passionate about field goal length bonuses.

Do you penalize for missed FGs and/or extra points?  XPs for a while there were being missed more than 50 yd FGs lol.

extra points should be automatic.  if you miss one, you should be penalized -1.

I dont know about missed FG.  I suppose if the FG is the 30 yards or less then yeah penalize for a miss.
