05New Business

1. Add QB Sack as negative scoring value of -1
   1. Argument For: QBs are usually fully/partially responsible for taking a sack, and it feels dumb that a QB that took 5-10 sacks in a game can still have a good fantasy day when it's a nightmare in reality. This also mirrors the +1.0 that DST gets for the sack.
2. Adjust QB passing scoring (remove +0.5 Pass Complete, remove -0.5 Incompletion, add +0.5 Passing First Down)
   1. Argument For: Passing for a first down is far more important than passing for a 0 yard gain. This would be a net +3.8% buff to QB scoring and make the scoring more predictable and correlated to real-life value plays in football.
3. Adjust FLEX scoring (reduce PPR to +0.5, add +0.5 Rushing/Receiving First Down)
   1. Argument For: Similar to the passing first down, a rushing or receiving first down should be rewarded. This doesn’t eliminate the point per reception model while also correlating again to more important football plays. Based on data, this is a 2.9% buff to RB and a 4.2% nerf to WR/TE.
4. Change kicking scoring to be decimal
   1. Argument For: the rest of our scoring system is decimal-based, this should be, too. ESPN finally introduced this feature this year and it’s a very easy change to make kicking more accurate.
5. Adjust DST scoring (+1.0 per Stuff (rush play for 0 or negative yards), -0.2 per point against)
   1. Argument For: Defense currently only makes up ~4% of team scoring and is even lower than kickers. Feels illogical that one side of the football is largely ignored in our league; they deserve a buff (and more scoring categories are fun). Any individual scoring buff can be offset by making the DST points allowed more punishing (-.05 is minuscule at the moment)
6. Move return yards and touchdowns to Team DST
   1. Argument For: There aren’t many startable fantasy players that still return kicks and punts, this would be a way to still capture that value and also give a slight buff to the DST position.
7. Remove kickers
   1. Argument For: I suppose it is everyone’s legal right to be heard, etc, whatever. Some people just don’t like fun and putting the FOOT in FOOTBALL.
