Offensive vs Defensive scoring (1 Viewer)

Footballguy
Guys...a friend and I are wanting to try out a large league with a bunch of friends. However, for the league to work we need to use IDPs and furthermore, we need the D players to be similair in value to the offensive guys.RBs and LBs should be similar. DBs shouldn't be far behind like QBs and WRs. DL will have to take a small back seat but that is fine....So my question is this...has anyone tried something similar? If so what scoring did you use? If anybody would care to help out...could you develop a scoring system that would meet those above guidelines with O scoring of the standard #s....04 for each passing yard.10 for each rushing or receiving yard6 pts for all TDs-1 for fumbles but team recovered-2 for fumbles lost-2 for INTs1 point per receptionetc...I keep running through numbers but I feel the astute fbg posters could do a much better job than I. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.Thanks,DW12

 
I think something along these lines is what you're looking for...Passing (all positions)----------------------------1 point every 25 yds, 6 points per passing TD & -2 points per INT or1 point every 20 yds, 4 points per passing TD & -2 points per INTRushing (all positions)----------------------------1 point every 10 yds, 6 points per rushing TD & -2 points per fumble lostReceiving (all positions)-----------------------------1 point every 10 yds receiving, 6 points per receiving TD & 1 point per reception ( you could always make TE receptions 1.5 or 2 to boost their value if so desired)IDP Scoring---------------All TD's = 6 points (Punt Return, Kick Return, INT return, FR Return, Blocked Kick TD's)Fumble Recovery = 3 pointsForced Fumble = 4 pointsINT = 6 pointsTackles = 2 pointsAssists = 1 pointSacks = 1 pointSafetys = 6 pointsPasses Defended = 2 pointsBlocked Punt = 6 pointsBlocked FG = 3 pointsRun your projections thru this scoring system and you should see that the top performers at each position will end up somewhere around here....QB - 385 ptsRB - 380 ptsWR - 340 ptsTE - 250 ptsLB - 360 ptsDB - 300 ptsDL - 215 ptsThis should give you a good starting point, from here you can tweek it further to your liking

IDP Scoring

---------------

All TD's = 6 points (Punt Return, Kick Return, INT return, FR Return, Blocked Kick TD's)

Fumble Recovery = 3 points

Forced Fumble = 4 points

INT = 6 points

Tackles = 2 points

Assists = 1 point

Sacks = 1 point

Safetys = 6 points

Passes Defended = 2 points
Sacks should be way more than tackles. I would put sacks at 6 and pass deflections at 4.
 
I've never quite understood why Sacks are so highly valued that people have them outscoring INT's - it's good to see league where a sack is worth less than a turnover: 3 pts (1+2) versus 4 or 6.

Because the position that sacks benefit the most are DL. If sacks weren't worth so much, the DL position would be basically worthless. DL get limited tackles and hardly ever get INTs or Pass deflections.

While I understand that, if DL are mandatory in a league, the good ones will have worth by being better than the others. I'm in a league which gives them a bit of a bump for tackles, and keeps sacks slightly below fumbles & picks, so it simply feels better that an event which results in the defense obtaining posession of the ball is worth more than one which doesn't.
