With the modified scoring, the top 12 projected point leaders for the season are:
Rodgers-495
Vick-452
Brees-442
Rivers-421
Manning-410
Brady-399
Romo-396
Ryan-358
Schaub-342
Rapethisburger-330
Manning(E)-322
Foster-315
I took Rodgers.
Well, good luck on your season; hopefully for your sake you prove me wrong.
Personally I look more at something that, depending on where you go is called 'x-value', 'adjusted value' or other similar names rather than simply looking at who is projected to score the most points.
To keep it simple, a hypothetical two-team league with three positions
QB1 - 450 points
QB2 - 430 points
QB3 - 420 points
RB1 - 300 points
RB2 - 225 points
RB3 - 200 points
WR1 - 400 points
WR2 - 380 points
WR3 - 360 points
In this format RBs are the least important because they score the least amount of points, right?
Wrong.
If I nab RB1 I will outscore my opponent regardless of who else I pick and who else my opponent picks.
It's sort of the same rationale as to why in most leagues kickers and defenses are considered to be of very low value. In the scenario above there's not much difference between the top and bottom QB, or the top and bottom WR; however the difference between the top and even second best RB is enough to make him the most valuable player in the draft, even though all those other players score more than him.
The basic concept of x-value is you first find the number of starters at a position in your league. If you have 12 QBs (12 teams, 1 starting QB per team) the 12th ranked QB becomes your base. Let's say he is projected to score 300 points. The x-value of a QB projected to score 400 points is +100 (400 minus 300); a QB projected to score 360 is +60, a QB projected to score 275 is -25. Repeat for other positions; in a typical 12-team league the base for RB would be the 24th ranked RB; same for WR.
Normally you will find a big delta at RB, so that x-value for the top RBs goes up; other positions such as WR tend to get bunched very closely once you get past the top four or five WRs.
That's my strategy anyways; it has worked pretty well for me over the years. Please let us know how it turns out for you at the end of the season!
