return yardage (1 Viewer)

I have a draft in about an hour, and I just noticed that return yardage scores just as much as running/recieving yardage

I know nothing about who the top returners are. Anyone out there care to give me a heads up on who I sohuld be bumping up because of this?

The ones on the top of my head are Bush and SSmith...anyone else?

TIA

edit to add: this includes IDP, and DB return yardage including kickoff and punt return counts as well.

Dante Hall. Chiefs.

Dante Hall, Wes Wekler, and Eddie Drummond are all third WRs that return both kicks and punts. I personally have Drummond, because the other two were drafted already.

Terrance McGee and Darrent Williams score better than most because they are fulltime CBs and return men.

DB's who return kicks AND see the field will be money in the bank.

Yeah - I'll be looking into these guys. The trick is figuring how much to add to their projected stats to account for return yardage...

Don't forget Bush's potential here, but I assume he will not be a sleeper in this league.

EDIT: Oops, I see you mentioned Bush already.
