Here’s how it works:
Every week you pick 3 players: One for passing yards, one for rushing, and one for receiving. You can only use each player once per year. At the end of the week, however many yards those 3 players in their respective category added up is your score for that week. For the sake of simplicity, only yardage in that category counts - if you pick a running back for rushing yardage, and he runs for 105 and receives for 45, you only score 105.
So a typical score might look like
Week X
Peyton Manning 312
Adrian Peterson 78
Calvin Johnson 47
QB yardage totals are cut in half to maintain parity between positions. We also drop the worst position-week total of the year, so if you miss one week while doing it, you’re still competitive.
You’ll be required to grade yourself and post your own totals every week, which I will then add to a spreadsheet and post. If I can figure out how to work it, I’ll make a publically editable google doc spreadsheet so people can enter their own scores there.
Everyone is welcome to join. So long as people post their own scores, it wouldn’t take me too much longer to manage a lot of people.
If you’re reading this after the season has begun, you can still join us - you won’t be in competition for the total scores, but you could win from week to week.

2013 results: I just realized that I never listed the official results of the 2013 season. Not sure why. I’ll dig around and find the old spreadsheet and post that to the thread later.
Anyway, to join us, just post a QB/WR/RB.
I didn’t realize we’ve been doing it for this long, but here are previous threads:
