Kicks over 60

Recommended Posts

Every site has the same kicking stats.... 1-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50+

There's been seven 60+ field goals this year, which is already an NFL record and the season ain't over. It's time to add the 60+ stat line.

100% agreed! What I'd really like to do is have field goals worth a tenth of their actual distance, ie, a 23 yarder is 2.3 (not 3), 55 yarder 5.5 (not 5), etc. For leagues using kickers it aligns better with the skilled position scoring.

in my league you get 3 points for all FG but if the FG is more than 50 you get 6 points.   its a bit overvalued but those long ball kickers become valuable in this format.

I'm sure each league has their own rules but I am thinking if its over 50 you get 4 points and over 60 you get 6 points.

We do the standard 3, 4, and 5 pts.... I wish CBS allowed the decimal points. Can't understand why they don't - seems like an easy add.

But I stupidly talked my Commish into doing a 10 point bonus on top the 5 pts for 60+ yarders. We added that rule a decade ago when it almost never happened. But even then I've regretted it ever since. There's enough dumb luck in fantasy football already. Why should a 59 yarder get 5 points, but a 60 yarder get 15 points.?.  That's ridiculous. I've tried to have the rule removed, but nobody will budge on it. My own damn fault.

If you’re going to do that you need to make field goals under 30 yards only 2 points.

I'm actually fine with that.

We are seeing more 60+ yarders than ever though because the rule changed for this season, giving teams early access to the K balls to prep them. 

 

I'm not sure how much I like the idea of a 60 yard FG being worth a touchdown, but I suppose the difference between 5 and 6 points is nothing and a 50 yarder being worth the same as a 63 yarder is silly.  The yardage of the kick in tenths is the way to do it.  26 = 2.6,  62 = 6.2  etc.  I do not play on any hosting platforms that have the decimal scoring option or the 60+ option that I can recall. 

I believe I am in one league that penalizes misses (-1) of under 40. This should probably be looked at and changed as I think we've had it as a rule since before the PAT was made longer. PAT is 33? yards... at this point if you want to penalize kickers I would penalize missed PATs only.

I'm in a league that penalizes all missed FG's 1 point.  But also, a -2 for missed PAT's.  I do think it's a bit unfair to penalize missed 50+, but it is what it is.

This has nothing to do with kickers, but I really would have liked to see Max Brosmer receive some sort of bonus for almost tying Nathan Peterman's record 5 interceptions in their first game. Something for us all to look at next year.

Yes, see my suggestion up top. On board with this.
