I chose the #1, #10 and #20 player at each position to study if the impact was more significant for any particular group.
I used Matt Hasselbeck (#21) instead of Alex Smith (#20) as the third QB because Smith didn't play early in the season.
Tight Ends were not studied, as they already received 2 points at 50 yards and 2 more at 100. Tight End points, will be hardly affected from current in the new scoring system.

Interesting Facts
1. Quarterback scoring remained very consistent from the old system to the new.
2. Running backs, despite the ability to now get three points at 76 yards rushing, saw only a very slight overall increase.
3. Wide Receivers gained the biggest benefit, but just over a point a game. This is due to the fact that most receivers will get 25-50 yards a game at least, therefore they will usually get at least 1-2 points.
4. Although Wide Receivers gained this benefit, no receiver's score varied by more than three points for any one game.
5. The biggest overall variance for any one player in any single game was 6 points, and that was a decline. (See Chris Johnson, week 8).

Results Q.B.s + about .33 pts/gm

R.B.s + about 1 pt/gm
W.R.s + about 1.5 pts/gm

Since we start 2 running backs and three receivers, this should mean an increase in league scoring by about 3.5-8.5 points per team per game
