Re: Re: Punt and kickoff return stats
JP, In my chosen league (automatic Random player) there is no stat category for YPR/TD%- there is only the number of TD's that have been scored on punt returns (one state category) and another for TD's scored on Kickoff Returns on other categories for # of punts and kickoffs that have been returned, a total number of yards gained in each category and a figure for an average return so I guess the question is this- will a WR that averages 20 yards on an average kickoff return and has 500 receiving yards perform better than another WR that has 500 receiving yards and hasn't returned any kickoffs in a league that doesn't have any slots for a kickoff/punt returner on the roster or the depth chart? The league I'm in offers 4 WR slots and one more for a "Flex". In my league will the WR that returns kicks offer any more value than the other WR that has 500 receiving yards but doesn't return kicks and how will this improved performance manifest itself over the course of the season? Maybe the football game is too new to have a handle on this nuance but I haven't been able to find anything in the rules or in the blog that addresses this issue in any way
