Football fans everywhere play fantasy football.  Fantasy football GMs study the projected numbers and look at past performances to figure out who to start on their roster.  We thought it would be great to put our local high school football players statistics and put them into the fantasy football numbers formula.

We used a standard (non PPR) scoring system from ESPN.com:

Offense:
Quarterbacks (QB), Running Backs (RB), Wide Receivers (WR), Tight Ends (TE)

6 pts per rushing or receiving TD
6 pts for player returning kick/punt for TD
6 pts for player returning or recovering a fumble for TD
4 pts per passing TD
2 pts per rushing or receiving 2 pt conversion (note: teams do not receive points
for yardage gained during the conversion)

2 pts per passing 2 pt conversion
1 pt per 10 yards rushing or receiving
1 pt per 25 yards passing

Bonus Points
2 pts per rushing or receiving TD of 40 yards or more
2 pts per passing TD of 40 yards or more
(note: the player must score a touchdown to score the points)

Penalty Points
-2 pts per intercepted pass
-2 pts per fumble lost

Kickers (K)
5 pts per 50+ yard FG made
4 pts per 40-49 yard FG made
3 pts per FG made, 39 yards or less
2 pts per rushing, passing, or receiving 2 pt conversion
1 pt per Extra Point made
Penalty Points
-2 pts per missed FG (0-39 yds)

7 pts for 2-6 points allowed
4 pts for 7-13 points allowed
1 pt for 14-17 points allowed

-1 pts for 22-27 points allowed

To make the best fantasy lineup, we decided to change our roster just a little bit.  We did not keep just a TE.  We added the TE to the WR spot.  We kept a FLEX position- we added a SUPER FLEX and included the QB.  So there are 10 roster spots each week for our team.
