Last week watching football was fan-fuckin-tastical, especially when you are watching the game with two other dudes that are in the same fantasy league as you and even more so when you are playing one of them that week. It was some amazingly entertaining shit! Pretty much every play of every game could affect you in some way. However, I realized there is one play in football that doesn't really get the fantasy blood flowing through my alcohol thinned blood. Sure there is a slim chance your defense could block it and return for a TD or the return guy could break it loose, but aside from that there is no point in getting too excited for a punt especially once it hits the ground. That is until you get a frickin punter in the line up. That's right I want a punter as part of the fantasy rosters.
Think about it, the punter has absolutely no pressure from fantasy owners whatsoever. Sure he could muff the snap, but is that going to really bite you in the ass that hard? Well, I am out to change that. Scoring would be simple and it would bring yet another piece of the fantasy puzzle in to play. Could you imagine being down by a couple of points to your opponent on a Monday night, it's late in the game, and all you want is the drive to stop short of the 40 yard line so your boy can get out there an punt the shit out of one inside the 5 for you to win the week? You know how the players just let it bounce around for a bit? What if it was your one point that could make the difference and the fagtard white boy that is so excited to be on special teams in the NFL and is so proud to be the first man down field just so he can touch the football on TV stops the ball before it goes past the 10 yard line robbing you of a victory? Or you get one of those wacky bounces that shoots it back past the 20 yard line only to fuck you out of some points. I personally love the fucking idea, but hey, I am the fucktard that came up with it! You don't like it you say? Well, then bite my fat hairy white ass!
Scoring System -
45+ yard punt = 1 pt
50+ yard punt = 2 pts
60+ yard punt = 3 pts
Inside the 20 = 1 pt
Inside the 10 = 2 pts
Inside the 5 = 3 pts
Fumbled Snap = -2 pts
Blocked punt = -2 pts
Blocked punt resulting in a safety = -4 pts
Blocked punt returned for TD = -6 pts
Fake Punts = Standard passing/receiving/running scoring rules
Sure a punter may be the last pick in your draft, but could you imagine researching for the shittiest offense in the league just so you could get a guy that punts alot? Either that or trading around each week looking for the punter that's facing the toughest defense. Oh yeah, instant change of the excitement of fantasy football. I'll take Donnie "My leg may fall off from punting so damn much" Jones from the Rams for starters!!!

I like the idea, I am not sure that you want to give that many punts. If he punts 8 times in a game, then there is a potential for way more points than a kicker, but other than that, great idea. Unless of course you add touchbacks and inside the 20 for a kicker as well, that might even the disparity.
You're right though, punter's could potentially be the highest scorer on your team week in and week out. Would prob have to tweak the scoring format a bit to balance things out. I just thought it would be killer to get as excited about a punt as I do for every other single play in the NFL. Rock on!
