**Quick Hitter**
The first League Poll is up! Please be informed that you will have to vote on the poll BEFORE you can set your lineup for the week. The question we are polling is…
Should we add PPR to the scoring settings?
We have polled this question every year since 2015 and this has been kind of a sticking point as the vote usually comes down to only 1-2 votes from being passed. The League! is currently a running back driven league, meaning the most valuable players year in and year out are typically at the RB position. The only alternative is to have a top tier quarterback and there are only so many of them as well.
Adding PPR will add value to RB’s like James White, Dion Lewis and the Christian McCaffrey’s of the league who are not workhorse type RB’s but average 5 receptions a game. This is your chance to voice your opinion, so please don’t take this lightly…
