Fantasy Football II

As I said in an earlier blog, I am in an ESPN fantasy football league. I enjoy the league, the set up and draft are simple and understandable. I do have some beef with how ESPN scores their fantasy. First of all, QB's get nowhere near enough points. I have Tom Brady as my QB, and each week he puts up some of the most amazing numbers. For instance last week he had 5 td's, 1 int and 388 passing yd's. He only got 33 pts. To put this into perspective, LT has 44 pts last week in fantasy. He had 4 td's and 198yds. So Brady had 1 more td and almost twice as many yds, but had 11 less points. I understand that comparing an rb to a qb is not a good way to prove my point, but by doing so I prove the bias of ESPN. They always tell you to pick rb's first, because they cake it up for rb's so they can get so many points each week. A qb gets one point for every 25 passing yds, while a rb gets 1 point for every 10 rushing yards. A rb gets 6 pts for a td, a qb gets 4. It just irritates me to see Tom Brady throw up such amazing numbers while he still gets beat every week because a rb has a couple tds and 100 rushing yds.
