What would making them score even more accomplish besides making fantasy heavily skewed in favor of QBs? http://games.espn.com/ffl/leaders?&seasonTotals=true&seasonId=2016 This is standard scoring for last year. 18 of the top 20 scorers were QBs. Including the likes of Blake Bortles, Philip Rivers, and Marcus Mariota. David Johnson had to have over 2,000 total yards from scrimmage and 20 TDs to even come close to the top QBs. Not only are QBs the high scorers, but they're plentiful. All increasing the QB point total would do is make the power disparity even greater, when it's already great enough. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss <cite>Emeraldegg posted [p:888838337] in Passing TD...

StealThisSheen 10/21/17 3:36:07 PM #20:	It was fair since if you went for one of the three or so QBs who were above the rest, you sacrificed getting a good running back in return and would have to play trades/waivers well. I'm not playing this year and haven't done the new scoring, but it sounds like this new attempt to normalize all the scoring to be closer together kinda kills strategy and mainly helps those that only want to spend 5 minutes on their team a week. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

Yeah, that's the usual way to go about it. Occasionally somebody would go big on an elite QB and then try to play trades/waivers to their favor.
