Please Help Me With This Scoring System (1 Viewer)

Hi guys, i cannot understand the rules of a League starting tomorrow in which i'm In.

Thats the problem:

Return Yards -> 10 yards per point

Kickoff and Punt Return Touchdowns -> 6 points

1 point each 10 yards means that a player with an average of 35 Yards in a game will get 3.5 points or that a player that finishes the season with 1600 Returning Yards is probably better than players like Jones-Drew or Tomlinson?

What do you think?

I need to know if i should pick Sproles or Turner with pick 1.3...

Yes, in systems like that, guys like Darren Sproles, Leon Washington, and Josh Cribbs wind up being studs. For instance, last year, Washington had 2337 yards from scrimmage (includes punt and kick returns) and 9 total TDs. Sproles had 2297 yards and 7 scores. Two years ago, Cribbs had 2312 and 3 scores. The key is to target stud kickoff returners who also handle punts (as opposed to a guy like Hester his first two seasons, who was a stud punt returner who also handled kickoffs). Kickoff returners on teams with bad defenses have extra value. Cribbs might see a bit of a value bump because he's playing at WR this season (whereas most of the elite dual-threat returners are RBs). Washington's probably going to be more valuable than Sproles this year, since he's a bit better of a returner (imo) and since he'll probably have a larger role in his team's offense, to boot. Other likely two-way returners this year include Stefan Logan (RB Pitt), Allen Rossum (CB San Fran), Will Blackmoon (CB GB), Clifton Smith (RB TB), Brian Witherspoon (CB Jax), and Mark Jones (WR Tenn), but those are all probably behind the Washington/Sproles/Cribbs trio. If it's an IDP league that rewards return yards, any CB with return duties is an obscene advantage. Jerious Norwood also has serious skills as a Kick Returner, although I'm not sure if he'll be the full-time guy for Atlanta this year.More information can be found in this thread.

Thank you SSOG and sorry for my english, really appreciate your help.My last question is: Since we are using Team Defenses, do you think that points scored by Returning DBs will be added to team totall?

I'm wondering about not picking up a Top 5 Defensive and picking up a weaker defense with a player like Leodis Mckelvin...

Your English is just fine, thank you very much. I never even realized you weren't a native speaker.Unless your rules specifically state that team defenses also get credit for special teams contributions, then they don't. Still, it's a perfectly viable strategy to skip getting a top-5 defense and picking up some weaker defenses, later. Defense is a very unpredictable position, and the year-end rankings usually don't resemble the preseason rankings. Also, defensive scoring is very dependent on the offense that they're facing. A mediocre defense will frequently perform like a studly defense... if they're facing the worst offense in the league. The majority of fantasy players around here will usually recommend grabbing a decent defense or two and then spending the entire season just playing the matchups.
