I guess we're waiting on Jag's settings but since we're "idp" we'll have our own settings for defense
Hopefully we dont cause any imbalances with the offense
I don't see why we should wait for him - IDP has always had our own settings.
Edit, what Jag said.

Has a league started sign up for IDP? nm. I see. No.

I'd been hoping to keep continuity with the last one, though it's not really that important.
I have no problem with adding TE to the flex spot, and agree that returners should be nerfed somewhat - I'd go further to 1/50 though, just because there's no fantasy position for "returner" and it distorts the value of the players at other positions. I think that the QBs are ok as is though. There's certainly a general upward trend, but I think last year was a bit of an aberration in how huge the jump was. I could see pulling the yardage scoring back a bit if others feel differently.

I'm fine with leaving the settings as is. I drafted one of the best 'returners' and got burned when he got injured.

1/50 for returners is definitely a positive in my view. On other changes: I'm willing to play under most reasonable settings, so I'll leave it to other IDP people to discuss exactly how we want things to go.

On another forum, someone posted about being in a ppr league at work that awarded 1 per 10 return yards Darren Sproles with #1 pick?

At risk of being ridiculed for suggesting the bizarre.....it seems that strategy of defensive players is to pick them (largely) after you pick most of your offensive players. I'd like to see us UP the points for defense, and encourage people to take defensive players earlier (and change up the strategy significantly as a result).

Sparrow, the reason for that is simply because of point differential. The dropoff between the number one defensive lineman and the waiver wire is far less than the dropoff between the number one quarterback and the waiver wire.
Even if you were to up the points - you'd still see people take quarterbacks et al first, and then move onto the defense. It's also much harder to predict how they will do.

FFS - this is the time to bring something like this up!

I approve of Sparrow's suggestion, for what it's worth.

I also agree. Each position should be awarded the same level of potential.

Defensive points are already fairly liberal, and we increased defensive value by going from 3 to 5 roster spots a few years back. Average points per week is around 30-35 IIRC. I consider 40 pts to be a good week on defense.
