Taking inspiration from @hendrix22's Daily Pitching Contest, as well as his PGA Challenge, I thought I would start up a weekly NFL QB Fantasy Contest. The rules are simple:
Choose 4 QBs
- One from Tier 1
- One from Tier 2
- One from Tier 3
- One from Tier 4
Standard Fantasy PPR Scoring
| Offense | Point Value |
|---|---|
| Passing Yards | 25 yards per point |
| Passing Touchdowns | 4 |
| Interceptions | -1 |
| Rushing Yards | 10 yards per point |
| Rushing Touchdowns | 6 |
| Receptions | .5 |
| Receiving Yards | 10 yards per point |
| Receiving Touchdowns | 6 |
| Return Touchdowns | 6 |
| 2-Point Conversions | 2 |
| Fumbles Lost | -2 |
| Offensive Fumble Return TD | 6 |
Payout
- 1st Place wins 60% of the Post Payout
- 2nd Place wins 30% of the Post Payout
- 3rd Place wins 10% of the Post Payout
Tiebreaker
- In case of a tie in fantasy points, there will be a unique tiebreaker each week.
- The person closest to the correct answer of the tiebreaker wins.
- If still tied after the tiebreaker, the person who submitted their picks first will win.
- This week's tiebreaker is:
Guess the number of passing yards that Aaron Rodgers will shred Atlanta for.
Deadlines
- If you choose a QB playing on Thursday night, your picks must be in before kickoff of that Thursday night game.
- It looks like the only Saturday games are in Week 15, so we can deal with that then.
- All other picks must be in before kickoff of the first games on Sunday.
