Bench (7)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSome thoughts on each position:<\/p>\n
Quarterbacks \u2013 These are the bread and butter of the league. There are enough settings here to really put points behind negative events. Incomplete passes are .2 points, each sack is 1 points, and interceptions are 5 points. Add that with the 10 points for fumbles that apply to all players, and it makes for the highest-scoring position.<\/p>\n
Kickers \u2013 There’s a slew of opportunities to gain points for kickers. Essentially, if a kicker misses, you get points. Far-away missed kicks are more common, hence less points. \u00a0Closer missed kicks are rewarded as such. And if a kicker misses a PAT, it’s going to rain points all over your team. However, is 48 points for a missed kick too much? \u00a0I argue no. \u00a0It happens so rarely that when it does, you should be rewarded.<\/p>\n
Punters \u2013 The only truly negative event for punters are blocked punts, and you really want to award points if that happens. You can also receive points every time the punter punts, so a poor offense means more points for the punter. From a skill perspective, there’s a bonus based on punting average. The worse it is, the more points you get.<\/p>\n
Defenses \u2013 Defenses will gain .1 points for every actual point they give up. It\u2019s not very much, but there are \u201cbonus\u201d fantasy points that can be gained by giving up more actual points. There are additional \u201cbonus\u201d fantasy points to be won based on the number of yards given up. The thought is, if you give up yards and you give up points, you\u2019ll be rewarded with more fantasy points.<\/p>\n
Head Coach \u2013 Did you know this was a position you could draft? Basically, the head coach is tied to the team, and you can gain or lose points based on how the team does. This made it an easy choice to include, as it was easy to come up with a scheme to award points. This is also slightly different than a defense. Defenses are only ranked on what they give up. However, head coaches are based on MARGIN of loss. Essentially, you\u2019re banking on a team to lose, and you get bonus points for how badly they lose. Also, you get the same base points if your head coach ties as you do in a loss. Because ties are terrible and deserve to be ridiculed.<\/p>\n
Flex \u2013 Running Backs, Wide Receivers, Tight Ends \u2013 The only thing in ESPN that can affect these position players are fumbles. The max any individual player fumbled last year was three times. If I counted correctly, there were 156 fumbles last season by these three types of players, meaning less than 10 fumbles per week across the whole league! As a result, there are six spots that are basically wild-card spots each week in the hopes that someone that you pick fumbles, at which points you get a nice bonus of 10 points.<\/p>\n

I am going to be starting a Reverse Fantasy Football League, henceforth known as the Bizzaro Leauge. The goal is to incentivize picking players with poor performance and rewarding points for actions such as incomplete passes, interceptions, fumbles, and missed field goals.
