My FF rules

[brettbrettr]

This is my first time commishing a league and I was hoping you fellas could tell me if there rules make sense, don't, what should change etc. Thanks in advance.

I'm especially curious about waivers and the trade deadline. Also, forced fumbles and fumble recoveries? Or should it just be recoveries...

6 pts/TD pass is too much.

getting pts for yards allowed is dumb.

only pts for fumbles recovered by the defense, not for forced fumbles (too much confusion/dissention, i.e. "did he lose the ball on his own or was it knocked out", etc)

are you giving pts to individual players AND teams for KR/PR tds? Like when Dante Hall returns one, does the owner with Dante get the pts AND the KC ST get the pts? What if the same owner has both? Also, DTD seems to cover both defense and special teams - do you also need separate categories for each of them and also for KRTD and PRTD(don't think so)?
