    AFAIK points per carry is not standard in any format. I've only ever seen it in this league. Going back to @Tubby's point, both players got 55-60 yards and a TD and got a similar amount of points. If we want to reflect real life football does that not make sense? 

    One thing I have seen elsewhere which could be interesting is using PPFD (point per first down) instead of PPR. It then is more closely aligned to rewarding players that actually impact the game, no matter what position they play.

    The reason why I'm pro points per carry (albeit small amounts) is the example I gave. A RB with 15 carries had the same amount of points as a WR with three catches. Yards aside, it's not the same effort and the RB should be recognised imho.

    Happy to put it to a vote, at the appropriate time, as we should.

    My problem is I just don't pay enough attention to the NFL. I'd never even heard of Ekeler before the draft! 

    Seems like there's been a shift to WR being the marquee fantasy position..I should have drafted Diggs.

    I think the RB position diminished in value in each season since RG3 ushered in the era of mobile, rushing QBs.

    The value comes entirely from the scarcity (and likelihood of injury) at the position and more teams opting for a committee of RBs, rather than pinning it mainly on one guy. There's only a few teams who go with the 'bell-cow' running back these days, and so everybody tries to snap them up early.

    That's how I see it anyway.

     

    Interesting thoughts.  Whilst the RB position isn't what it used to be in terms of an offensive game plan, there are still some very good RBs in the league.

    In terms of fantasy, RBs aren't being scored as favourably as WRs.  As an example, this week I scored 11.60 points for Najee Harris (15 carries, 56 yards, 1 TD; 3 Rec, 5 yards; 1 fumble knocked a couple of points off) and 12.90 points for Drake London (3 Rec, 54 yards, 1 TD).  NH is clearly doing a lot more work for the same amount of points and that doesn't feel right to me.  Looking at the scoring, RBs and WRs are the same in terms of distance related points however, WRs get 0.5 points per reception whereas there is no carry points for RBs.  

    @Beastmix To avoid amending the distance scoring, perhaps for next season, 0.25 points per carry should be awarded to RBs?  Using my example, NH would have received 17.35 points (+3.75 for carries, +2 adding the fumble back) and Drake London 12.90 which feels more reflective of the effort each player made.

    Example 100 yard game with TD:

    RB:  20 carries (5 points), 100 yards (10 points), bonus (1.5 points), TD (6 points) = 22.5 points (17.5 points currently)

    WR:  7 Receptions (3.5 points), 100 yards (10 points), bonus (1.5 points), TD (6 points) = 21 points

    *Option to increase the points per reception to 1 but if a RB is also catching a lot of passes, this might quickly create an imbalance.

    I've actually tried a couple of mock drafts from 10th  this year and despite being happy with my selections I haven't got anything above a D in the report. 

     

    Long old year ahead

    I wouldn't read too much into the ratings, the projections aren't based on our league scoring (so far as I know).  Your strategy is probably sound if you feel good about it.

    Well it is completely not needed unless you are selling Konsa or Mings for centre back as we just gave a new deal to Hause and have have just signed Chambers.
    It's the same deal with the striker, we have two quality strikers plus a multitude of forwards who can play that position you don't sign a third quality striker to be third choice when you play one up top.

    Personally I wanted to sign a first choice centre back instead of chambers and I would happily sell Ings already to have Alvarez.......

    Exactly.  I would consider moving Mings on and I think we are ambitious enough to seek improvements up front.  Ollie wouldn't enter that conversation for me, far too versatile, so it would be Ings I would seek to upgrade.  None of it essential and all a nice problem to have, but we are well covered elsewhere and these investments, at that time, would seem logical to me.

    I don’t want to jump the gun but unfortunately I feel the #1 pick will be open to a league newcomer next season.

    Nice carrot to dangle.

    I don't know the details other than the posts earlier in the thread, so do you say this because BM doesn't want to play, or because sadly he won't be well enough?

    Wondering if we can make a gesture in memoriam if the latter i.e. rename the trophy?

    Edit: not meaning to come across as insensitive by the way, it's just an idea how we might recognise someone that's been a part of the fabric for decades.

    Well I was pick 10 this year, by which time all the top RB's had gone.

    yahoo suggested grabbing the best WR at 10 if there were no top RBs which is what I did.

    So if anyone doesn't want the #1 pick I'll have it :)

     

    It's not the #1 pick that bothers me as such, it's waiting to 24 and 25 before making the next selection.  It's a hard strategy to get right cause most of the top WRs are gone by then and you're left with a top RB, a serviceable WR and possibly a good TE or premature dip into the QB market.

    It might just be me mind you, I average 7th for a reason 🤣

    Just to be clear, the consolation draft winner getting #1 pick would not be valid for this up-coming draft. I was posing the idea (which I don't necessary even like) for future seasons.

    Thanks for clarifying @Beastmix My personal view is that the #1 pick isn't a reward in fantasy football so the incentive would be low.  Just my opinion.

    1: Longer draft pick time - at least 45 seconds, 1 minute could get tedious if people are dragging it out.  But it's about being able to select the best players for your teams so whatever makes it fair.
    2: Reverse draft order (NFL style - last place picks first) - should consolation playoff winner earn #1 pick? - Did I win the consolation playoffs?  If I did, I don't want the #1 pick.  I personally think the order should be reverse finishing position so worst goes first and best goes last.  I'll be quite happy sat there in the middle thank you :)
    3: One-day trade processing - Yep
    4: No waiver window. Just first come/first served on the free agents. - can waiver windows be set to a better time than current (I don't know what the current time is btw).  It does bother me that you only find out on the Wednesday before that you have a player so I would suggest any player dropped during a live weekend can't be claimed but otherwise, they are readily available.
    5: Change playoffs from top 6 to top 8 - I'm up for expanding it.  If it's close, then it keeps the league relevant right to the end
