Marcus Thigpen's value in a return yardage league (1 Viewer)

[manbearpigs]

Hi,

I'm in a 10 team, IDP, 0.5 PPR league with a very shallow bench (only one bench spot for each position) that starts 3 RBs and 3 WRs. Receiving, rushing and return yards are all 0.1 pts per yard. To give an indication of the value of KR/PR in the overall scoring in 2011:

Sproles was 1st overall

Antonio Brown 11th (3rd WR)

Josh Cribbs 19th (7th WR)

Leon Washington 37 (18th RB)

Devin Hester 42 (16th WR).

In my draft I concentrated on the returners:

Darren Sproles

Doug Martin

Leon Washington

Dexter McCluster

Percy Harvin

Antonio Brown

Randall Cobb

Brandon Tate

My question is this: with McCluster not being used as much in the return game, do you think Marcus Thigpen will have more value as a returner going forward? In week 1 he was 5th overall in scoring, and I know he won't repeat that every week, but do you think he will put up Cribbs/Hester/Sproles numbers in terms of return yards?

I personally don't think Thigpen will sustain anything near that kind of production, though in a return yardage league he's definitely rosterable.
