Ute Fantasy Football

This might be a idea we can steal from SC – start it next week.

Here’s the thread to post your WeAreSC fantasy teams.

As a reminder, the rules are as follows:

You select your team each week, made up of eight USC Trojans — four offensive and four defensive players. The four offensive players must be one running back, one wide receiver, one tight end, and a fourth player who can come from any of those three position groups (quarterbacks are not eligible). The four defensive players will be one defensive lineman, one linebacker, one secondary player, and a fourth player who can come from any of those position groups.

The catch is that all four players on each side of the ball must come from different classes — one freshman, one sophomore, one junior, and one senior. Redshirt freshmen count as freshmen. Redshirt sophomores count as sophomores, and so on. Feel free to pick the same combination of eight players for every game, or switch them up every week (Yes, I understand pickings are slim for freshmen and senior offensive players).

I realize there are lots of scoring rules available for various fantasy leagues, but I’m going to try to make it as straightforward as possible. We’ll figure out a winner each week and figure out a season winner with the highest cumulative score or the person who wins the most weeks.

Offense

Reception — 1 point
10 yards receiving or rushing — 1 point
2-point conversion — 2 points
Touchdown receiving, rushing or on special teams — 6 points

Defense

Tackle — 1 point
Pass deflection — 1 point
Sack — 3 points
Forced Fumble — 3 points
Fumble Recovery — 3 points
Interception — 6 points
Safety — 6 points
Special teams touchdown — 6 points
Defensive touchdown — 12 points
