Market to see who among last year’s top 10 scoring non-kickers will reach the end zone the most this season. I will add new players requested in the comments; please identify the player and current team.
Quarterbacks’ rushing or receiving touchdowns will count towards this point total, not passing.
Any method of reaching the end zone excepting passing touchdowns or passing two-point conversions will be counted for this market. This includes special teams TDs, defensive TDs, safeties, and rushing or receiving two-point conversions. Basically, the player holding the ball in the end zone when the play is ruled dead.
Edit: I have expanded this and will add 2024's week-to-week scoring leader (if changed from previous week) to the pool throughout the season. I may end up resolving players from last season who miss significant time (See: McCaffrey, Mostert) and would otherwise be unable to recover enough playing time to match with players who play most of the season.
Update 2024-27-12 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Additional Players Added
Derrick Henry (RB)
James Cook (RB)
Purpose
To prevent the "other" contingent from being overly large if initial players have lower-than-expected totals.
Update 2025-04-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Real-time Resolution: The creator may resolve the market in real time if watching a game.
Example: Ja’Marr Chase is currently at 102 points and will be the first official NO if he cannot at least tie Derrick Henry’s 108-point total.
Update 2025-05-01 (PST): - Split Resolution:
If multiple players tie, the creator can resolve with a "Choose Many" vs "Choose One" option, even if initially set for a single player. (AI summary of creator comment)
@JoshCohen I should be able to resolve with a split “Choose Many” vs “Choose One” option even if I’d set it for a single player
Have added a few of the top TD leaders that I didn't realize I'd omitted for the longest portion of the season. RBs Derrick Henry and James Cook are now present for the final weeks of the season just so we don't have a super-sized "other" contingent to lean on in the event any of the players I'd started this market with finish with a rather pedestrian total compared to previous seasons.
Have updated everyone on the market. I was tempted to resolve CMac but noticed he's played a few games this season, which is why his update looks different from everyone else's.
While mathematically unlikely he will score 13+ TDs in the next two games, it's not impossible. Thanks to everyone who's put some mana down on this market. Two weeks left!
Top 10 through Week 3 (may contain Thursday night 9/26 stats for teams that have played four games)
1) Saquon Barkley, Eagles - 34 pts
2t) Alvin Kamara, Saints - 30 pts
2t) Kyren Williams, Rams - 30 pts
4t) Zach Charbonnet, Seahawks - 24 pts
4t) James Cook, Bills - 24 pts
4t) Derrick Henry, Ravens - 24 pts
7t) 14 players tied with 18 pts
I imagine the list will narrow over the coming weeks as the standouts begin to separate. What I will do is add the current #1 week to week to this list so that it doesn't become too inflated. So Saquon Barkley is now available to bet on, and I will keep a pulse on this likely on Wednesdays each week going forward so that I can keep everything current before the Thursday game.
