As mentioned in this season’s League Address, the scoring settings have been adjusted on both sides of the ball for the upcoming fantasy football season. The emphasis behind this was to add more value to the defensive side of the ball. In season’s past the focal point of any defense has been primarily on the LB’s, with DB’s that returned kickoffs or punts being the only other consistent scorers on the defensive side of the ball. But as the cliche goes Defense Wins Championships, and that very statement will be tested in this years fantasy season. But the offensive side of the ball has not been forgotten. Bonuses have been added to the offensive scoring settings rewarding players for having outstanding games. 200 yard rushing games or 400 yard passing afternoons will all be rewarded with bonus points this season. Check out the updated scoring settings below.
