Return yards (1 Viewer)

I just started in a league where KR/PR points are awarded. The league awards 2 points for every 10 yards. My question is as I've grabbed some PR/KR players, what is the best way to determine which one to start?

Is there a good source for this?

In a league that rewards kickoff return and punt return yardage equally, punt returners are useless, but kickoff returners are gold. If you have a kickoff return average of 20 yards, you're rubbish, while if you have a punt return average of 7 yards, you're a stud. Basically, I'd start off looking at starters that also return kickoffs (MJD and Maroney are the first two that come to mind), then after that look at dual-returners (these are rarer than you'd think, guys like Dante Hall and Wes Welker in recent years), then after that finally take a look at kickoff returners on teams with terrible defenses (bad defense = more kickoff returns).

Are MJD and maroney still slotted to return kicks? Any other offensive starters slated to return kicks?

I'm in a league with IDP players as well - who are the IDPs who return kicks? Chris Carr in Oakland comes to mind.

Thanks.
