QUestion about IDP/KR (1 Viewer)

DO ANY IDPs also RETURN KICKS KR/PR?
I'm wondering if there are any IDPs that are also KRs/PRs they could have an advantage in my league's scoring system.
With Kick Returns hopefully returning I'm hoping to find some hidden or dual value.
Does anyone come to mind? Like Patrick Peterson or Deion Sanders type?

My League: 10team 2QB 1pt PPR Dynasty 2QB, 3WR, 2RB, 1TE, 1 WR/TE 1 WR/RB 1 WR/RB/TE 1K 1 DEF, 1DB, 1LB, 1DL. BOnus Tiers for PASS/REC/RUSH/KR yards. Special points for IDPs.

To make IDPs relevant there are incentives for a player having a good game.
If you're a good IDP...they're probably trying not to PASS your way or RUSH your way.
If you get points for KR and IDP play you could have some significant value in my league.
KR/PR points below:

RET Yards = 12.5 =1pt. +5pt bonus for each 150, 225, 275 yds
RET TD = 10pts.
If you take a kickoff 100yds for a TD... = 8pts for the yardage. (100/12.5) +10pts for the TD.
If you return more kicks for a total of 51.25 yards = You've got 151.25 for the day. +5pt bonus. and 4.1pts for the extra yardage.
151.25KR yd + 1TD = 27.1pts total.
I think early avg projections might be about +4ppg- +6ppg avg for KR role. or 80% of the KR yardage total. A big game could blow things out of the water

ADD to that IDP Duties/Scoring:
If that player has
2 solo tackles on DEF +4pts
1 asst tackle on def +1pt
1pass DEF on def + 6pts.
11pt on IDP duties 27.1pts on KR Duties.
They just had 38.1pt day.


SEE IDP Scoring BELOW
Asst tackle = 1pt
Solo Tackle = 2pts
Sack = 4pts
Int = 8pt
FFum = 3pt
FumRec = 3pt
Safety 8
Pass DEF 6
Block Kick 10
TFL =2pt
Turnover Yds = 7.5yds = 1pt
Extra Point Returned = 25pts

Thank you in advance.
 
Typically you can find CB that will return kicks. You can look at the FBG depth charts to find who may be in line for returns and then make a note next to your CB ranks (at least that is how I account for it).
 
Keisean Nixon GBP is the best example of this. He’s a cheat code on my deeper IDP where you are required to start 2 CBs because of his returner role. If you only need to start 1 defensive back his return yardage might not be enough to bridge the gap from his defensive production to that of the upper echelon DBs, however.

Him and Jones from NE were the first two that came to mind. Both play nickel CB and should be on the field a bunch, plus are currently listed as returning both KR and PR.
