It is not entirely true. My local league is completely messed up. Our defense scoring is about 60% of the total score so basically the 1 qbm 2 rbs, 3 wrs, 1 te, 1 k do not nearly count the same.If the Ravens had a good day it did not matter that Portis ran for 5 TDs the Ravens owner is still going to win by a mile!Crazy8 ---You are EXACTLY right! Every year after the draft I try to explain that to my league mates and every year over half of them forget what I tell them. Oh well!i sure would take a kicker higher
Funny I was thinking that very same thing.The point about people not getting the basic concept of VBD is a good one too. In fact I thinklooks over shoulder
the ONLY thing worthwhile about VBD is the basic concept, ie not just drafting for value but drafting to get the biggest overall gap between your players and your opponents (in fact that is the "value"). Ivan is right that going from 4 to 6 doesn't suddenly make QBs a zillion times more valuable, but it does matter, ie increasing their TD pts makes getting a better one more valuable because there is now more separation between QBs throwing more and less TD passes. If you made passing yards 1 pt/5 yds you'd see the same thing for high-yardage QBs. If you can't see this, take the QB TDs = 100 pts example. If that is true, you're a complete fool if you don't put a very high priority on QBs. PKs would be similar (but as someone said, they're more volatile, so it's not exactly the same). And if WR TDs = 100 pts, you better believe I'm aiming for Moss #1. duh. Here is someone who gets it. IF kickers got 100 points, the difference between him and the 12th ranked kicker by years end would be somewhere around 1000 points. Now i dont care how good a season Holmes or Tomlinson have, they wont score 1000 more points than the12th(or even 2nd) highest RB.
