OK I just voted on the last 10 polls. Now do mine pls k thx.

RB scoring is standardish. DEF scoring is normal for INT/FR/Sack/TD/etc, but also it's minus one FP per point allowed.

Do I start Brady or Romo at QB. ESPN league scoring, also, Packers D or Chargers D.

The Bengals gave up 328 yards and FIVE touchdowns to Derek [censored] Anderson. How could you possibly even think about not starting the league-leading (in TDs and rating) QB against them?

I agree with you, but Romo is a beast and he's going up against a crappy D. I think it's a valid question, though a better question would be "why haven't you traded Romo/Brady for a stud RB/WR yet?"

Romo has bye first Week 8, but I think you're losing some value waiting that long with someone that good on your bench. Yes, I have a mancrush on Romo.

perplexity. -1FP per point allowed? Seriously? Do you even need to start a Defense? If not, I would never start a D, and if I did, I'd probably draft the Bears, Ravens and Pats with my first 3 picks. NOt really, but that's insane.

We are required to start a defense. I didn't mention that it's actually -1FP per point allowed, but the defense also gets 20 points just for taking the field. That is, FP = (20 - PA). It can indeed go negative. It is kinda weird, yes.

So far this year, best DST has been Vikings, scoring 45/23/10. Worst has been Giants, scoring -20/-12/7.

Ah ok, that makes a ton more sense. Still pretty high variance.

No PPR.

Four slots in question: WR, WR, WR/RB, QB.

I was going to go with Torry Holt, Wes Welker, and Larry Fitzgerald for consistency but I'm tempted to throw Kevin Jones in at the WR/RB spot. I'm not sold on Bowe or Jennings yet. I'm leaning towards Rivers because of Cutler's ankle and Indy being solid but if Denver falls behind in that game I can see Cutler airing it out quite a bit.

Who would you start in these slots?

[Jack of Arcades]

yeah, do you have to start a d? what's the typical score for a D in your league?

edit: oh ok. start packers?
