Harbinger of the Zombie Apocalypse

In response to my recent proposal that we adopt the superflex rule, Kevin had this to say:

Dont really like this one. I would counter propose that we reduce QB TD passes from 6pts to 4pts. In fact this is the only league I've been in where the QB gets that many points making their value so much more than everyone else. 

Under your rule any team that has 2 good QB's would have that much of an advantage over everyone else. In fact QB's would be selected by everyone in the first 2 rounds in my estimation. 

And then on a bye week you're basically screwed unless you have 3 QB's to compensate.
By lowering the TD points everything evens out giving more value to RB's and WR's. 

Also not opposed to going to a PPR league.

To which Merrill replied:

Hate to say it, but I agree with Graham on both points.

To repeat: Merrill and Kevin agree on something!  Which can of course mean only one thing:

Uh.

Well, okay, maybe it could mean one of TWO things.  EITHER the Zombie Apocalypse is imminent, OR they're on to something.

Assuming it's the latter --- I agree with them, too.  Or more specifically, I agree that our scoring system has a bias toward QBs, and that we should address that imbalance before moving to superflex. It also weights TDs too much relative to yardage.

I'm sure it will surprise no one that I have specific responses to the concerns Kevin raised, and that I still think we should adopt the superflex rule.  But just like the FAAB rule (remember that one?  People seem to like that one), we should fix our scoring wheether or not we ultimately adopt superflex.

So here are two separate scoring systems we could adopt.  One is less aggressive, one more so (and preferrable, in my opinion).

Option 1 (yardage undervalued)

1. Change the value of passing TDs from 6 points to 4 points
2. Add 0.25 points per reception for RBs
3. Add 0.5 point per reception for WRs
4. Add 0.75 points per reception for TEs

Option 2 (yardage properly valued)

1. Double the points for all yardage scoring (0.04 points per passing yard, 0.1 points per rushing/receiving yard --- this is double how we score things currently).
2. Change the value of passing TDs from 6 points to 4 points
3. Add 0.5 points per reception for RBs
4. Add 1 point per reception for WRs
5. Add 1.5 points per reception for TEs

I'm sure the fractional PPR points will catch everyone's attention.  And if folks would prefer that all receptions are 1 pt, that's fine.  The thinking here is that giving a full point to RBs unbalances that position for players like Christian McCaffrey; at the same time, giving TEs 1.5 points per reception makes TEs in general a more desirable position (although it also makes Kelce, Kittle and Ertz even more valuable than they are already).

My big concern is that we DON'T go full PPR without also adjusting or scoring for yardage.  If we went full PPR under our current scoring system, yardage scoring would almost be irrelevant.

I'm just throwing this out for discussion.
