Fantasy football is not just about hanging with your friends and yelling at your television. When you're dealing with numbers, to some degree, you're dealing with math. Don't worry, you don't need to break out your calculators and pocket protectors because the math only need be as serious as you want it to be.
When configuring your league’s scoring system, it’s a delicate balance. You don’t want one position group to dominate scoring. What good is an elite wide receiver that only scores 175 points in a season when a top quarterback can 350- or 400-plus points?
Ideally, you want each position to be as valued and impactful as they are within the NFL games every week. Quarterbacks score the most, running backs and wide receivers aren’t too far behind and tight ends are still valuable, especially the top guys.
