INT and Fumble Return Yardage Points

If we were to raise INT and Fumble return yardage from 0.025pts per yard to 0.1pts per yard (4x as many)

CHANGES MADE ALONGSIDE CB AND S SCORING CHANGES. BEFORE STATS TAKEN WITH CB AND S SCORING CHANGES ALREADY IN AFFECT.

I'll skip the offensive player stats as I doubt any of them will change. I can't think of any offensive players who play any defence at the moment.

Making that change has basically no effect on scoring

Last season only 3 players had more than 100 INT return yardage. That would only equate to 7.5pts difference over a season. The highest was 151 yards which is 11.325 points. The most Fumble Recoveries any player had in 2022 was 3. So even then it's another pitiful amount of points.

If we want to see any real change for these splash plays then we probably need to up the points from 1pt per 40 yards to 1pt per 5 or even 2.5 yards (30.2 or 60.4 points for 151 return yards rather than 3.775 points as it is now)
