gitrdun 16 Posted October 19, 2022 The league is start 1 qb and 5 flexs. It is a PPR league with one point for every 20 yards rushing and receiving along with 1/4 point per carry. Who gets the best of this trade: Waddle for Aaron Jones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Byrdman5 103 Posted October 20, 2022 Jones because touches are favored over yardage in that league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
show me the murray 39 Posted October 21, 2022 He said PPR so assuming it’s also a point for every catch. 1pt per 20 yards. If Jones carried 12 times at 5 yards a carry, that would be 6 points (3 pts for yardage, 3 pts 12x0.25). Waddle would only need 4 catches for 40 to match that. Definitely favours more explosive plays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely favours more explosive plays I don’t understand your logic. You’re not comparing 2 things that show explosive plays are favored in this league. Explosive plays = more yardage yet your example is a RB getting 60 yards to a WR getting 40 yards. Example that explosive plays are not favored compared to touches: 4 catches for 75 yards < 6 catches for 40 yards. As for Waddle and Jones it’s close but I will favor a RB in the OP league settings. Normal league it’s hands down Waddle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normal league it’s hands down Waddle. I may not have explained it well enough, apologies. I’m aware that the two scenarios have them scoring the same points and 4 for 40 is not explosive. Was just trying to show that in that example Jones has to go to a lot more effort to get as many points as Waddle, even if Waddle has a pedestrian (for his standards) 10 yards per catch. Typically Waddle is more explosive so I’d take the guy who has a better chance of hitting on a long play with these settings. Worth noting also that Jones is splitting carries so the 1/4 point per carry isn’t as much as an advantage as it could be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would put Waddle needing 6 for 80, which is right where he is averaging. My preference is having more consistency than banking on explosive plays.
