It is no secret that on the defensive side of the ball that LBs are the king of scoring fantasy points. DT, DE, and CB are far from the scoring machines that LBs are. S are the closest thing to LB we have on defense. In 2020, a top 12 DE averaged 7.2 fppg. A top 12 DT scored 6.3 fppg. Top 12 CB scored an average 8.3 fppg. For S, that number was 9.6. And finally for LB the top 12 averaged 11.9 fppg. In order to create more of a balance, I propose these changes that take place at the start of the 2022 season.
Additions:
1 point for each QB Hit - benefits defensive lineman (DT and DE), 66% of the top 24 qb hit leaders in 2020 were DE and DT
2 points for each TFL- 14 of the top 24 players in TFL totals in 2020 were defensive lineman, this will benefit the scoring of defensive lineman
Modifications:
6 points for each sack, 3 for half sack (was 2.75 for each half sack, 5.5 for each sack) - 14 of the top 24 sack leaders in 2020 were defensive lineman. this is only a slight increase from the previous value of a sack but still improves situations of defensive lineman
6 points for each INT (was 4.5 points) - 21 of the top 24 INT leaders in 2020 were defensive backs. This will increase the value of CB and S in the league
3.5 points for each PD (was 2.5) - all 24 of the top 24 PD leaders in 2020 were defensive backs, increasing the value of a PD will increase their fantasy value
These are only my initial thoughts on trying to balance the defensive positions among themselves and other positions. Right now its more beneficial to own a top 12 kicker 8.1 fppg than a top 12 DE, CB, DT and almost S. I welcome any feedback or thoughts on these proposed changes along with how they could be made better. Let me know what you guys think.
