I participated in a fantasy football league last year for the first time in well over a decade. Apparently between the time I played last until last year a PPR scoring system became a thing.
I always played under the idea what happens with your fantasy team should mirror what happens on the field. But with this PPR scoring system that's not the case and it's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of.
For example: In our league, a player would receive .5 points for every reception. A RB would receive .1 points for every yard gained. Now, as it relates to actual football, can someone explain to me how a RB picking up 4 yards on a carry is worth less than a player catching a pass for 0 yards?
I can't wrap my head around how that makes sense in any way.
We went back to a standard scoring system for this year. Now everyone is ticked that the QBs are scoring higher than the other positions. If the QB is the most important position on the field, shouldn't that be the case?
