This touchdown? Never happened..
"The Bears have won the toss and elect to receive. Kaeding sends it away and it's a good one. Fielded by Devin Hester at the 3. Up to the 15, he spins out of an arm tackle! He's at the 25. A nice block springs him and he cuts it up the right sideline. To the 35! Hard juke and there's only the kicker to beat!! Hester to midfield!!! Stiff arm to Kaeding, Hester still on his feet!! To the 35...25...15...10...5...touchdown!! Devin Hester, you are ridiculous!!!!"

Except for some retarted reason, in our fantasy league, you're not. You're irrelevant. The only way you're scoring any points for the Bears this season is if you line up as a wide reciever. Despite your reputation as the most explosive, game changing, ankle breaking, return man in the game today, you will have ZERO fantasy points to show for it. You're as useless as Tim Couch.
.
Does that sound right??? We're not rewarding the explosive plays on special teams this year? Kick returns and punt returns mean nothing; for the Defensive/SPECIAL TEAMS unit, or for the individual who ran the touchdown back? In 2006, there were 9 kick return touchdowns. There were 15 punt return touchdowns. These aren't exactly fluke plays. They're fairly common. At my other league's draft last weekend, the guy who had LT said his second best player last year was the Bears defense. Why? In part, because Devin Hester found the end zone 5 freaking times.
.
Am I whining because I drafted the Bears under the assumption that I'd be getting oodles of points on the heels of the first player ever to grab a 100 speed rating in Madden? Kind of. Were the rules available on the website at the time of the draft, so I could have properly reviewed the scoring system? Indeed they were. Am I bitching mainly because I wasted a seventh round pick at a time when I could have been looking for warm bodies to play wide receiver instead of the defrosted corpses I have on my roster now? Yeah, I guess.
.
But honestly, I'm not even sure how this rule makes sense. This is like learning that we're not counting field goals this year. A field goal puts three points on the board for a team. It's a SCORING play. You should score it in fantasy, shouldn't you? So when a special teams unit does something that changes the SCORE of the NFL game they're involved in, how do we not see fit to award credit to that fantasy unit? Maybe I'm alone on this, but I don't see how you can decide to award points for rushing attempts, and then say you don't give out any points for a touchdown. That's completely backwards.
.
Now, anybody want to trade for Ted Ginn? He's suddenly become available.

All this information was available BEFORE the draft. We've never used return stats because there aren't enough good returners to share the wealth.
I am in favor of kickoff/punt return TD's, but I definitely do NOT think they should be awarded to the Defense. The defense gets credit for Int/fumble return TD's and safeties, which make sense because the defense is on the field when those scores happen. Kickoff/punt returns should not be counted for defensive points.
If anything, they should be counted for the player only, ie. Hester gets points as a wide receiver as well as for return TD's. I am in favor of changing the scoring system to count return TD's for an individual player's points, but I would not be upset if the scoring system was to stay as-is since we already drafted.
Well said rich! The idea that Defenses get return TDs is ridiculous in itself.
Well then why do the units say D/ST? Doesn't the ST stand for Special Teams?????
By the way, I mention the fact that this information was available BEFORE the draft, you fascist asshole.
Good point. I actually never knew what the ST stood for! However, the fact that we have never counted kick return TD's means we shouldn't this year unless it was agreed upon before the draft or becomes a unanimous agreement before opening day.
Pipe down Hiro, or I'll break your glasses.
Didn't you read over the league settings before the draft? Why did you draft Chicago D so high? You probably could have waited another round or 2.
