Fantasy Football - Scoring for IDP league
 

This is the first year our league is doing IDP (on Yahoo), and I was wondering a couple of things:

1) What should roster spots look like (how many IDP spots)? We've typically done: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, WR/RB, K, DEF the past few years.

2) What should the scoring system be for both offense and defense?

Thanks!

Try to balance the scoring between OFF and DEF. If interceptions and fumbles cost OFF players -2 points, then they should be worth 2 points for DEF players. If QB loses points for sacks, make sacks worth the same amount on DEF. Otherwise, 1 point for the sack (they also get a point for the tackle). One point for tackles, 2 for safeties, 6 for TD, and 2 blocked kicks.

I've played in IDP leagues where sacks, INT, and fumble recoveries were 4 points each, and it really skews player vaule in favor of defense. You can be kicking a guys ass going into Monday Night when his linebacker has a 2 sack - FR - INT - TD night and your opponent shoots right past you. Don't overvalue DEF stats.

Ive read arguements that say that IDP is actually worse then Team DEF. Something about you cant predict when a sack or INT will occur, but you can predict how good a Team DEF will be? Any thoughts on this?
