Agreed.Redraft
People don't like change.Surprised that there's so much hate for superflex leagues-QBs are kings in NFL, I feel that it makes sense that being able to put a QB in the flex raises their value similarly.

I get that auctions have their appeal.Online snake drafts. I get that auctions aren't easy for live drafts, but there's no excuse online drafts should be primarily snake drafted.
I love leagues that are complicated. Give me the leagues that have weekly payouts for highest team score, highest player scores, roll a survivor challenge into it, deeper starter lineups, pickem pools.The more complicated the better for me but I'll play anything where I can make some $.
True, but on the other hand WRs don't get as many touches a game as a RB, so it evens out.Some leagues give an entire point just for catching the football. In such leagues, you actually get more points for a -1 yard hitch compared to a 7 yard run. It baffles me.
This is the logic it was based on when it was thought up, back in the olden times when RBs were workhouses, RBBCs were rare, and 4000 yard seasons were historical. It was a lazy way to make a scoring system that devalued RBs and the fact that it gave RBs who catch the ball more often a ridiculous advantage over RBs who were in schemes that didn't was an afterthought consequence. 2 RB and 2 WR leagues were also a lot more common then.True, but on the other hand WRs don't get as many touches a game as a RB, so it evens out.Some leagues give an entire point just for catching the football.

Unlike taking a handoff catching a pass is challenge because of that I understand awarding a point for the catch (maybe one point is too much)This is the logic it was based on when it was thought up, back in the olden times when RBs were workhouses, RBBCs were rare, and 4000 yard seasons were historical.

Today, 2 RB, 3 WR leagues with multiple 4000 yard seasons and RBBC being the norm, it needs to be done away with.
There are TD only leagues.I know I am in the minority but I don’t like that yards are more important than TD’s. I understand that yards are more predictable but don’t think they should be more important
QB are way more valuable in 2-QB leagues not devalued.2 QB leagues....will NEVER EVER play in one..QB is the most important spot on the field, why devalue it by starting two?? The way FF is scored now...1 pt for 10 yards?? Really?? 10 points for 100yds?? Worth more than a TD?? Pretty sure in the NFL TD's are what get the points, not yards. I could see something like 1 for every 25 or 30 or something, but no way, no how should any amount of yards EVER be worth more than a TD.
Negative points for fumbles or INT's. This might be one of the dumbest concepts of all time.
Auction "drafts"....NO NO NO. Most of the fun is drafting your team. If i can just "buy" a player, that doesn't seem fun at all. I want to be able to maneuver around the draft via trades, hit on that "sleeper" that most didn't know about..move up from 1.11 or 1.16, or move down. You have to work the draft, that's what it's all about.
Anything less than 6 points for a passing TD....whoever came up with the idea of moving it to "4" or "5" points for a passing TD ruined the game...plain and simple. You say it's to "even" out the positions?? The QB is the most important position in real football AND fantasy football. he dominates the ball..Don't have a good/great one, then the rest of your team better be incredibly solid to overcome it. That's just the way it is.
And last but not least...the outrageous scores you can get in most leagues now days. Over 100 points?? 75 points?? Really?? How does that mimic the NFL at all?? That's ludicrous! In my league, 35-40 and you have a good shot to win, and that's with individual defensive players. It's hard to mimic the NFL as far as lineups etc go, but the points damn well should!
I don't know any league that yards are more important. 1 touchdown is 6 or 4 points. It takes a lot of yards to equal 1 touchdown.I know I am in the minority but I don’t like that yards are more important than TD’s. I understand that yards are more predictable but don’t think they should be more important
You heavily discount the amount of strategy involved in auction drafts.Auction "drafts"....NO NO NO. Most of the fun is drafting your team. If i can just "buy" a player, that doesn't seem fun at all.

I can see how that can bug some people, but for people like myself I have no desire or time to learn the other side of the ball for fantasy. I spend too much time on the traditional fantasy to add another half.ST/DEF leagues should be abolished. Certainly you are not going to find me playing without at least 7 IDPs
I like it after a round of blind bid waivers goes through.First come first serve waiver wire.

Wow. You have one of the most inaccurate perceptions on everything you just talked about. I don't really care for 2 QB leagues but the whole point of it is to make the QB position the most valuable.2 QB leagues....will NEVER EVER play in one..QB is the most important spot on the field, why devalue it by starting two??

His problem is wanting fantasy football to be like real football and it just isn't. The only thing they share is the fact we use stats from one to play the other.Wow.

Saying yards have been more important that TDs for QBs also makes no sense. The QB position has to put up more yards than any other position to get to 10.
The most ludicrous statement you make in your entire post was about auctions. I can only assume that you have never done one before. I,m pretty sure it's a well known fact that there is a great deal more strategy that goes into drafting in an auction
As for your point system, it sounds super boring.
We have punters. Fantastic position for fantasy. If you can predict a team's offense you can predict punters generally, especially if you avoid punts inside 20 in your scoring and just go straight gross yardage. Unlike team defense and kickers which are much more random. Predictable enough some can also do well just playing match ups.The inclusion of kickers in any leagues, they are a massive pain in the ###, nobody cares about them and getting round to dealing with them for your teams every week is annoying. I am now not in a single league with kickers and won't join one that has them, waste of time and effort!
I'm not a huge team D fan either but I can live with them.
Love SFlex leagues; not sure why people are bagging on them, in a 1QB QBs are practically worthless outside of Rodgers and Luck, people say "it's not like the NFL" but neither is QBs being unimportant, also in the NFL they don't start 2 RBs and we don't use a punter in fantasy. That theory gets my goat it's fantasy football not Madden.
I also don't do IDP, I spend enough time keeping up with offences and my teams, got nothing against but it's just too much for me!
