I think all purpose/ return yards is a bit silly unless it's something like 30 yards per point, and maybe a 100+ yard bonus. That way a big TD run is worth about 10 points, I think that's fair. Special Teams just doesn't have much time to impact a normal football game, and I think their fantasy output should reflect that.

If I could delete kickers too, I would

I would however be down for an IDP slot if enough people were in favor of it.

I definitely will! I want to see if I can handle doing 4 leagues this year. Because I'm a sado-masochistic bastard. :P

If there's a way to just implement it for kickoff returns I would be in favor of that. Otherwise I agree. It's such a rare event and usually has very little effect on the outcome of a normal football game that I think it should be reflective of that in a fantasy league.

If you could delete kickers, I would love you forever. I hate playing with kickers almost as much as I hate playing with defensive units. But maybe you could add an IDP slot and take kickers out that way?

Screw it. Let's do all-purpose yards. Significant kickoff returns are such a rare event in the NFL nowadays anyway. Plus adding an extra kink of strategy is always interesting to me!

I've seen it both ways. It can either take the place of Team Defense or complement it.

With IDP you get points for things like tackles, sacks, passes defended, those sorts of things.

You realize this isn't the Psych thread, right?

I'd be good with IDP to complement the normal DEF pos.

I know I don't have a lot of leeway here as a potential newcomer this year, but I personally don't like playing with a DEF slot. I personally prefer to allocate it to another WR slot. But then again, I also don't like having kickers so I'm a weirdo like that.

But ultimately, I will go along with whatever the group decides. And I've never been in a league that used the IDP, so it might be interesting to try it out and see what we think of it.

I may or may not be talking myself into doing this btw.
