can have 60 yards rushing, 2 rushing tds and 200 yards throwing 2 picks
or 400 yards passing where rbs ran in 5 scores
thats the same in your system
It's almost like scoring touchdowns is valuable.
Sure those games are outliers though. Average it out for the year. How are you going to throw 400 yards and no passing TDs every game? The 400 yard passer will outperform the low passing rusher over the season. The 200 yard passer isn't going to score 2 rushing TDs every game either. In your example the 200 yard passer with 60 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs is actually a lot more points in standard scoring.. Mostly because of the TDs.
400 yards passing = 16.0
200 yards passing = 8.0
60 yards rushing = 6.0
2x Rushing TD = 12.0
26 pts vs 16 pts in your example.
Look, we could say the coefficient for passing yards should be higher if you feel like 0.04 is too low. The coefficient is arbitrary and subjective. The point is the factor that the coefficient multiplies is statistical production on the football field and those numbers are quite real. Rushing yards, receiving yards, touchdowns, passing yards.
I'm not saying that's all that football is. You can have a great QB put up shit fantasy numbers because of the offensive scheme. Brady on the Patriots would be a good example. Pretty low tier fantasy numbers for many years on a run first offense but we can all agree he is one of the best QBs ever.
Honestly though if you could garauntee 400 yards passing every game or 200 yards passing, 60 yards rushing, and 2 rushing TDs every game, which would you rather have? It's appropriate that the latter be more valuable.
