A lot of leagues do IDP, the projections are pretty much worthless for those leagues if they don't project the scoring for defensive players. It is not a must, but it would make a more complete experience.
Yes, but projecting defensive stats is even more random than offensive players. Cuz for example an OLB could only have a few plays ran his way a whole game and end up with only a few tackles, so basically with defensive projections its guessing what each teams offense is going to do and who they are going to target defensively. There is no way it actually takes that into account, so the projections are mostly bs.
It would be cool if they used last years stats until then... but yah, after a few weeks would work. I posted basically the same thread last year and it didn't happen.

Well, just at least put the players averages as a projection and add it to the total... That would work.

thats true, starting that in week 3 or 4 would make more sense though right?

NE Dynasty.. "so basically with defensive projections its guessing what each teams offense is going to do.."
aren't they already doing that by projecting what basically every offensive player is going to do?
NE_Dynasty_0119Wed 9/15/10 9:03 AM
yes, but its easier to project offensive players because its not up to the other team who the offense will throw the ball to or run the ball with...

All the projections are BS... I am just asking for them to at least put the defensive players average in the projected score.

It's very easy to do.
