Brick launches his trident.

Breese offers a few suggestions to spice up your college fantasy football league in the coming year.

In all of our respective leagues we have quarterbacks, running backs,
wide receivers, tight ends, kickers, and team defenses.  The scoring
is fairly uniform.  But what’s next?  Like a young Howard Hughes I’m
looking towards the future.  Here’s three ideas.

1) Expansion of the standard roster is needed.  Here two ideas floating
around my fantasy league lab.

- Coaches.  You draft one coach and have him the whole year.  That
means that can’t miss Houston Nutt pick would have turned into a
fantasy nightmare.
- Punters.  The coffin corner may be a lost art, but does that mean it
shouldn’t carry a fantasy weight?

2) Big plays should be rewarded. That is the complaint most fantasy
haters have.  6 TDs against North Texas counts a whole lot more than a
game winning field goal against Florida, but the question arises, is
that fair?

- Kicker Points.  Recovering an onside kick can be a season defining
moment, and it should be rewarded accordingly.  Give the kicker more
love on game winners and onsiders.
- Game winning touchdown.  Stats are great but they don’t necessarily
recreate the moment.  The gap between 5 TDs in a blowout and 2 TDs
including the game winner should narrow.

3) Recruiting wars are fun to watch, but I for one would love to draft
recruits.  The last round of a draft could be reserved for drafting
one recruit.  You have rights to that player moving forward.

If your league is anything like mine, just pull the pin and roll these
three into your next league meeting and prepare for a recreation of
the fight scene in Anchorman.
