  1. I agree with Nick but if you are going to do it, you should make it 1 point for every 20 return yards.  Then WR's who don't catch a lot of passes but return kicks won't have inflated fantasy points.


  2. 0 pts regardless of yardage.

    Return yardarge doesn't necessarily mean the player was helpful to the team.  Yes positive yardage is a good thing, but a great return man (Hester) may get zero yards since the team punts away from him.  This doesn't mean he did poorly, he most likely helped his team as the punts were probably kicked short and out of bounds.  

    Conversely, a player with a lot of yards may simply have returned 15 punts for 4 yards each (quite a poor average).  

    The second return man is actually the lesser player yet they would receive points in your system (assuming 60 yards received at least a point).

    Return yards shouldn't count towards fantasy production.  Return TDs are another story as they certainly help the actually team.
