The story with this graph:

In 2001 we went from 9 team league to 10 teams, slightly lowering all averages.

QB: In 1999, we lowered passing TDs from 6 to 4. 2003 was the lowest year since that change.

RB: We haven't changed the points at all, but as running backs increasingly tend to come out of the backfield and receive passes, as well as run, the averages have migrated upward.

WR: In 2002, by getting rid of the third WR, the average went up, so the drop in 2003 was expected. Still, the 2003 average was the lowest ever.

K: Long field goals (40+ yds) were increased from 5 to 7 a couple of years ago (I think in 2000); still, Kickers are the lowest position in the Leege, although 2003 was the highest ever. Their irrelevance is also exacerbated by the low variance.

Defenses:   In 1997 I think we added 1 point for sacks, that's why it jumped that year.   The addition in 2000 of Kickoff and Punt returns as a Defensive score appears to have had little effect. Defenses was the lowest since 96.

TE:   Was in 2002 only.
