PPR with a twist (1 Viewer)

Rounders

Footballguy
Our league completed their rules meeting and a new rule has been implemented for the upcoming season. It is as follows:

Point Per Receptions

RB - 1 point per reception from 6 to 99 per game

WR - 1 point per reception from 5 to 99 per game

TE - 1 point per reception from 3 to 99 per game

So my first thought was to find out how many ppr this would equate to so I can load this into the DD to get a grasp on me league's new configuration. So I created an average reception total per position by creating a spreadsheet where column A is receptions, column B is TE, column C is WR, and column D is RB. The result is this:

PPR TE WR RB1 0 0 02 0 0 03 1 0 04 1 0 05 1 1 06 1 1 17 1 1 18 1 1 19 1 1 110 1 1 111 1 1 112 1 1 113 1 1 1 0.8 0.7 0.6Standard FBG scoring is applied for all positions: 1 point per 10 rushing yards, 1 point per 10 receiving yards, 6 points for any TD I figured that in each individual game 13 receptions is a high water mark so I took the average of these by position to get my PPR value. Then I plugged these numbers aloing with the rest of my scoring system into the DD and it produced some interesting results that I was suprised to see

I expected WRs and TEs to move up the board a little, but what really happened is the pass catching RBs sky-rocketed up the board (Westbrook #4, Bush #6). Not a big surprise, but when I got to thinking about the numbers, they don't make sense to me. I mean for these bonus PPR to have consistent points a RB would have to catch 80+ balls for the season (16 games / 5 per game = 80 receptions). Only 2 RBs did that last year (Bush & Jackson, Westbrook had 77, and K.Jones was on pace before his injury).

I know that DD just took each player's projected receptions * player's PPR and added those points to their totals, but is that correct? Look at R.Bush for an example. FBG is projecting him with 84 receptions next year. That's an average of 5.25 per game (which would not qualify for a weekly bonus), however is you take his receptions (84) and mulitply them times the PPR for RB from above (.6) you get an additional 50.4 points for the season.

So I come to you guys (hopefully you are still with me) for some help on this. Is my system a valid system for this type of scoring system? If not, do you have any ideas or methods that I can use? Does your league have a similar setup, if so how do you make it work?

You're ratio is too high.

given that Bush averaged 5.25 receptions per game (and he was the high end for RBs), why are you going up to 13 receptions per game? That's boosting the PPR "average value" you're inputing in DD.

Cut the high water mark back to 8, then you averages become ( 0.75 / 0.5 / 0.375 ) Now receptions by TEs are 2X the value of RBs. In you're previous model they were only 33% higher.

Set the cut at 6 and it becomes ( .66 / .33 / .17 ) ... Now Wr's are 2x more than RBs and TEs are 4x RBs

By reducing your high water line, you increase the weight of the staggered PPR values.

Look at some historical data to find a cut point you feel comfortable assigning to all players.
