Christian McCaffrey, Najee Harris, and Saquon Barkley round out the top five. The second-highest scoring RB, Derrick Henry, falls approximately 76 points short of Taylor. The gulf between Taylor and other top RB options is quite wide. Our projections suggest that Jonathan Taylor is primed for yet another massive season. Per our #SFB12 projections, five of the top-10 non-quarterback fantasy scorers are RBs. Much like PPR or half-PPR scoring formats, elite RBs who are able to stay fully healthy put up gaudy point-per-game numbers and end-of-season totals. The elite bell-cow RBs clock in as the best options for those not selecting quarterback with the first few picks. Note that projections are fragile and should serve to help guide your player selections as you go through the draft. Although I ignored the completion percentage bonus for quarterbacks Those can be found at the end of the post. I converted our scoring projections into #SFB12 scoring. I wouldn’t let the bonus scoring dictate your quarterback selection in the draft.
Note that on a points-per-game basis, all three quarterbacks finished the season as top-10 scorers. Under #SFB12 rules, Herbert finished with the third most points last season, with Mahomes finishing seventh and Cousins finishing thirteenth. Justin Herbert, Patrick Mahomes, and Kirk Cousins all missed the cut-off, but were among the top scorers last season. I used the RotoViz Advanced Stats Explorer to find quarterbacks who achieved this threshold on a season-long basis. Like last year, QBs accrue points for each completed pass (or lose points for each incompletion), in effect providing a bonus for QBs who complete at least two-thirds of their passes. As you can see in the chart above (courtesy of Mike Beers), this makes them viable starters in a pinch. Kickers here receive a slight boost, given that they receive an additional point for each field goal and extra point made. A Historical Perspective On #SFB12 Scoring Meanwhile, RB sees a bit more turnover and is the shallowest of the three positions. QB, WR, and TE are the “stickiest” positions, as established veteran players continuously finish in the top 36. Targets and touches are the lifeblood of fantasy scoring, and it should be no surprise that the skill players who lead all #SFB12 scorers also handle a significant chunk of their team’s volume. The more volume a player sees, the more likely they are to rack up first downs. Refresher on Points Per First Down Scoringįor starters, it’s important to note that first downs are simply a function of raw volume. Before I jump into the changes, here’s a quick primer for those of you who are new to the Scott Fish Bowl and the points-per-first-down (PP1D) format. Matt Spencer ran several simulations and noted that only 42 points separate draft positions in average projected points, underscoring the balance in scoring for this format. The 2022 Scott Fish Bowl (#SFB12) kicks off today! The scoring format is mainly unchanged from prior Fish Bowls, with the largest changes impacting the kicker and quarterback positions.
