Rule Change: IDP Scoring

While I did not follow Cardinals GM (Luke) 's proposed changes exactly, the scoring changes outlined below are very similar to both his & IDP123 default scoring that can be found here. It's not perfect, but it matches up well against our current 1/2 PPR scoring for offensive players. The changes would look like this:

Scoring Additions:

• QB Hit (1.5 Points)
• Solo Tackle (1.25 Points)
• Assisted Tackle (0.75 Points)
• Tackles for Loss (2 Points)

** Solo/Assisted Tackles would replace Total Tackles (1.25 Points) that we had previously **


Scoring Increases

• Sack (6 Points -- up from 5.5) 
• Interception (6 Points -- up from 4.5)
• Passes Defensed (3.5 Points -- up from 2.5)
• Safety (3 Points -- up from 2)
• Forced Fumble (3.5 Points -- up from 3.25)

• Fumble Recovery (2.5 Points -- down from 3.25)
  

Overall, this will help close the gap between LBs and other IDPs as well as completely close the gap between Offensive & Defensive players. It won't fix things completely, but should provide more balance across IDP scoring as well as OFF vs DEF scoring. There will still be some outliers year to year on defense, but the same thing happens on the offensive side (TJ Watt 2021 Season / Christian McCaffrey 2019 Season). I will provide links to both scoring systems, old and new, below for you to see how it affects the player pool:
