Apparently one of my leagues is moving to .02 points per kick return yard gained? Who are some players I may need to draft a round or two earlier to account for this?

Tyler Lockett
Tarik Cohen
Dion Lewis
Tyreke Hill
Alvin Kamara
Juju Smith-Schuster
Christian McCaffery
Danny Amendola

Not sure how much return work the big names are getting but I'd say Lockett, Cohen, and Lewis could be steals a little before their current draft ADPs for league with points for return yards.

That’s not even going to be worth targeting someone for that low point per yard scoring.

I'm not really talking about drafting someone way early but maybe a round earlier than I have them pegged, or deciding between two guys. But you are right. It's only 2 points per 100 return yards so of little significance.

Yeah it would just basically make me take someone like Tarik Cohen over a back I had in a similar tier, or look hard at Christian Kirk late in drafts now that he basically has the #2 spot locked up in AZ and hes also returning kicks.

Yeah I mean, I'd just focus on the regular WR targets you have. Way more likely a guy catches another pass or two for 15-20 yards than has a really really good day returning. Kickoffs are being boomed out of the endzone left and right and it would take a pretty huge punt return or a dominant defensive performance to wrack up yards punt returning.

Yeah, I'd use it as a tie breaker for two similar guys.

I like implementing that into scoring. Obviously it needs to be very low key, but it's really shitty if you have a DJax kinda player where you rely on breakaway plays and he returns a punt/KO 99 yards to the 1 and you get 0 points because he didn't score. It's nice to at least get 2 points for that.

I didn't read well enough the first time. It's actually .2 points per return yard. So 100 yards in returns is 20 points.

That's actually retarded. Got to Change that.

Patterson in New England could be a great add. A few runs, a couple screens and a few returns....might make a serviceable flex

200 yards = 4 points. Not worth targeting
