We isn't gonna do that stupid PPR crap again is we?

LOL 2 not being able to figure out fantasy football post 2003....

Standard scoring leagues suck. If you don't have one of the first 4 or 5 picks in the draft, you essentially have no shot to win the league....Why should an elite wide receiver be only half as valuable as an elite running back? :noidea:

Maybe full point PPR is too much. How about half point PPR?

What in theeeee heck are you talking aboot?

Getting a top 3 RB hopefully gives you 14-15 points a week. The guys drafting 6-10 or so are either getting a WR like Johnson or a QB like Manning or something. THEN they get to draft right away again and take another top ranked guy.

The guy who gets 1st pick has to wait all the way until the end of the 2nd round to pick again and then by that time you're picking from scrub RBs.

Snake drafts are set up to make equal teams. The best spot to be is picking last.

Those PPRs just get out of hand.

WRs scoring 50 points and all that. Standard scoring makes WRs and RBs closer to equal.

I probably won't even draft if it's PPR. Not gonna lie to ye all.

It's all backwards and suddenly everyone is going after the WR's.

The beauty about Standard scoring is that it forces you to think. Because there are 100's of WR's out there who can score, but each team in the NFL only really features 1 RB and then maybe gets another one some touches here and there.

There is so much more strategy that goes into Standard scoring. Last year the dude that won my money league picked 10th out of 12 guys. He took McCoy with the 10th pick and then took Peyton with his next pick. It was GENIUS.

That is the beauty of Standard scoring. It's not a race to see who can get the most WR's from the teams who pass the most. And that kind of football is boring to watch anyways. Football is all about the guys up front, and running between the tackles dadburnit! All the flashy stuff is for the kiddies.

I am withdrawing from the league. Just not enough time for me.

For what it is worth, ppr is the place to be. Remember, RBs get ppr as well.

JJM, I couldn't agree more about picking last or at least towards the back but also could disagree more about basically everything else you said.

Sure they do, Jed.

But that makes the work horses almost useless. The guys who really gain yards between the tackles, these guys usually have a little guy behind them getting the catches.
