Having the best QB in the division isn't twice as valuable as the 7th or 14 times as valuable as last place. I'd do it in a 100 scale and look at QBRs of the last three seasons of QBs averages for corresponding rankings vs pt totals to give you a better look. Meaning what did the best QB each of the last three seasons average in conference play? What about the second best? Etc etc. Should be a pretty interesting trend. If you could plot it vs games started that would also be valuable in determining a multiplier, IMO.

Everything other position is going to be marginal increments at the same idea. I'd cap them at 60pts and but the floor at 30. 1st place through 3rd place gets somewhere from 50-60 pts. Then 4th-9th 40-50 pts. And 10th-14th the rest. Bell curves being a concept I think we could show for each class, games started, etc.

Otherwise it really doesn't tell us much. The arbitrary scoring and weighting metrics aren't based in actual production.
