Key @ESPNFantasy game upgrades:
??PPR is default
??Decimal scoring
??TDs by opposing defense don't impact D/ST points allowed
??+Edge rusher


not that we didn't already know PPR was the dominant scoring setting though

#3 was long overdue though if you still have to field a D

The war is over, boys. We won!

What does the edge rusher mean? Do you get points for sacks?

zimma was your down voter there I'd bet

I'm assuming edge rusher is an added IDP position

Still think 1 point per reception skews the game to much to that particular stat. Like half a point or a third a lot more. Definitely makes sense to not penalize the defense for something they weren't on the field for.

Wish it was .5, but whatever. No one is changing their league's scoring system because ESPN changed their default settings

I'm not the commissioner in my ESPN leagues. Just for my RTSports leagues.

PPR is completely illogical. Why should a 2 yard loss on a reception be worth more than a 7 yard run? The only important aspect of a catch is the yardage gained.

And a 60 yard run being equal to a 1 yard TD is completely logical. Fantasy football is a no frills bubba game even the dumbest assholes can play. It's like watching WWE - its cheesy as frick but entertaining but there's always the one guy who harps on the fact that it's fake

Some people just don't get it. You're not playing PPR bc a reception is "valuable", per se. You're adding another scoring element to make the game more interesting.

Less than 2% of pass plays went for negative yardage in 2016. That's almost 99% of pass plays gaining positive yards for the zimmes out there. Stupid fricking argument to add merit to your archaic standard family league w mee maw

I hate arguing with the "that's not how real football works" guy when I try to replace H2H with top 6 bottom 6 scoring in my real leagues. Well no shite, its called fantasy football, the title implies its not real football, idiot.

As someone who dominates PPR leagues, I am absolutely fine with this. It always amazes me how many people don't know how to draft for PPR.
