Points leagues are a great spot to shoot fish in a barrel because they’re often (but not always) full of beginners who are trying to emulate the simplicity (or fun) of fantasy football leagues. There are ‘some’ leagues that do incorporate standard league elements, including penalties for missed field goals and free throws, and some include points for just about anything including double-doubles, triple-doubles and even ejections.
The most common points leagues will generally omit the percentages, though. And that sets up a lot of opportunity for owners that can simply take their projections and apply them to the scoring system. Many owners take a standard league rankings sheet into these drafts, or go by ADPs that are largely generated by players in standard formats. When an owner takes B150 projections into these leagues it can be unfair.
CBS POINTS LEAGUES
Points: 1
Rebounds: 1
Assists: 2
Steals: 1
Blocks: 1
Turnovers: -1The striking thing with this format — aside from the fact that it averages your players’ scores each week and a guy that plays one game can be as valuable (or more) than a guy that played four games — is that assists are worth so much. If you can get forwards and centers that produce in those categories, you’re on to something. And since steals and blocks are worth so little, the chess board is definitely slanted toward offense.
