Fantasy Team Defense Scoring (1 Viewer)

RSG

Here is how one of my fantasy leagues gives out points for how many points a defense allows:0 - 0 PAs = 3 points 1 - 9 PA = 2 points 10 - 19 PA = 1 point 30+ PAs = -1 point I'm curious as to what other people use. I just feel like a shutout should be worth more than 3 points. That's the same as a Rian Lindell 20 yard field goal and it just seems wrong.Other defensive scoring is 1pt for a sack, 2 pts for a turnover or safety and 6 points for a TD by the def/special teams.

 
In our league a shutout is worth 8 pts, 6 points or less - 6 pts, 7 to 13 - 4 pts, 14 to 20 - 2 pts. Similar system for yardage allowed, in 50 yd increments.

 
Both of my leagues give ten points for a shut out, Other scoring is similar to yours, though one (ESPN) only gives three points for a def. touchdown.

We used the system below for defense this season, but we found it scored defenses too high. Will probably keep the turnover/sack/etc. points the same, but cut all the "points allowed" scores in half for next year.Points Allowed0-0: 10 points 1-3: 9 points4-7: 8 points8-10: 7 points11-14: 6 points15-17: 5 points18-21: 4 points22-24: 3 points25-27: 2 points28-30: 1 point30+: 0 pointsSack 1 pointFR 2 pointsINT 2 pointsSafety 3 pointsTD Scored 6 pointsEdited for clarity.

Shutout = 10 Points.2-6: 7.7-13: 5.14-17: 3.18-20: 1.21+: 0.These are really arbitrary.The standard ones are:2 points for a turnover (INT / Fumble recovery)1 point for a sack (glory stat).6 for any TD by the defense / special teams.1-2 points for a blocked kick.2 points for a safety is typical. Some "juice" this to more, but that's kinda weak and random.I also like 1 point for a forced punt and 2 points for a turnover on downs, with nothing for sacks. That seems more realistic and in line with what real defenses are trying to do. Yardage matters little.

 
Here's how my league scores DEF :Blocked Field Goals 1 pointBlocked Punts 1 pointBlocked Extra Points 1 pointDefensive/ST Fumble Recovered 1 pointTotal Defensive and Special Teams TD 6 pointsInterceptions 1 pointPA - Points Against, Total Points Scored 0 - 0 PAs = 10 points2 - 10 PA = 5 points11 - 15 PA = 3 points16+ PAs = 0 pointsSack 1 pointSafety 2 pointsThe highest scoring DEF per these rules = Chicago Bears : 159 pts (17 weeks)For comparison purposes, the highest scoring Player = Shaun Alexander : 297 ptsFor what it's worth... Chicago did manage to break into my league's Top 50 overall (#45)... Although DEF/ST is important, it won't make or break your team and they're more or less a support position in my league. The same applies to kickers... Positional Players rule the day.
