My vote is everyone goes on waiver once their game starts.

Can defense be scored on by yard allowed? Feel that some good defenses are being punished by their awful offense.

Can special teams get points for return yards?

I like the idea of putting everyone on waivers once the games start. This will definitely make the waiver position move a lot more and become a lot more valuable.

I think one of the most important thoughts going into next season is how to improve the value of each position as much as you can without making it seem like a stupid advantage.

For example, I feel like making the Defense scored by yards allowed would bring a lot more value to that position. You would still be getting around the same amount of points and it would also give advantage to consistent defenses. The other thing is that this would eliminate those times when you lost points because the teams QB threw a pick 6.

One big thing I have noticed in this league is that it is extremely touchdown dependent. It's not a bad thing, but I liked the increase to value on WR yards this year because it gave more depth at the WR position.

I don't wan't to comment on RB scoring after this season's horrible experience with them.

There needs to be some way to possibly improve the quality of TEs in our league. They are far and few each year, but I feel there must be something to do that would slightly increase their value.

There were some changes made to the points the Kicker position for this last year that I also liked and feel its improved the position overall this year.

Thats currently my two cents on scoring and the other policies. Next year is starting to sound exciting!

Everyone on waivers once their game starts is good. I would like to keep the waiver system the way it is. Makes you think about how you use your waiver claim and gives more strategy.

An option to increase value for WR and TE is .5 PPR or 1 PPR. Personally I like .5 PPR. 1 PPR is too much.

I also really like the idea of an IR slot.

I really don't like the idea of a PPR league

another thing that might make it seem less TD dependent is change the scoring for yards. right now it's like .05 for 1 yard receiving or rushing and then there are bonuses. if you double it and remove bonuses then you will end up with much higher numbers for RBs, WR, and TE.

so for a 100 yard game (a pretty stinkin good games for those positions) would be 10 points + TD's.

might be a little too much but say .7 points the 100 yards = 7 points + TD's

the bonuses are cool but your players seem to do nothing unless they hit those thresholds

I'm not a fan of PPR at all. I highly suggest against going that route.

We can look at changing yardage points though.

I'll do it by next season, see if I can do some kind of stats anaylsis that will balance scoring as we desire...

If we don't want to do PPR that's fine. People do it to balance out WR I assume because the ball gets spread around a ton. WR1 sees maybe 10-15 passes a game where a RB1 sees 20-25 touches a game. RBs have a lot more chances to score more points.

I know you said that the league is set up to only have 2 RBs but it doesn't really feel that way. The bonus scoring for RBs and WR is different with WR getting the extra +1 point for 50 yards. I feel like that favors WR more than RB and therefore it wouldn't be a big deal to add RB to the flex spot. The FLEX spot should have nothing to do with how many RB injuries there are.

Are you guys trying to balance the scoring or get more points or less? I never really got why we're having this discussion. I don't have any issues with the scoring

So can we get a discussion on the W/T spot? I would really like to make this a true flex spot next year and do RB/WR/TE. I know fox said the league was set up to only have to RB but I just don't see it with the scoring. Since TE have been relatively useless this season outside of the top 5 or so it just seems like another WR slot since chances are you aren't gonna have two top 5 TE.
