Hail Mary League
Draft: Snake draft; Sunday, 8/21, at 4:00 PM EDT (tentative).
League link: http://yhoo.it/2b6jlzn
This is something of a concept league, based on the Hail Mary formation in real football. A "Hail Mary pass" is used by NFL teams in desperate situations as a low-rate-of-success attempt to score a touchdown at the end of the half or game. Typically, teams have 5 wide receivers on the field, or 4 wide receivers and a tight end or runningback they trust to catch the ball. You may see where I'm going with this.
In the HML, each team must start 1 QB, 4 WR's, and 1 W/R/T flex. These settings naturally make it so that WR's are extremely valuable in this league, while RB's and TE's have much less value than normal. No kickers or defense in this league; just the six starters, plus four bench players.
The small roster will make for easy maintenance; but the uniqueness of the roster will make it unlike almost any other league.
The following non-typical scoring is also included in the league, to reflect the goal of Hail Mary usage:
6 points per 40+ yard receiving touchdown (typically: 0)
5 points per passing touchdown (typically: 4)
.08 points per rushing yard (typically: .1)
All other scoring is standard PPR.
