Mixed reactions regarding new PAT rules
Extra points become 33-yard attempts
By: Jake Gordon | May 19 2015, 8:00 pm

In an attempt to make point-after-touchdown attempts more exciting, NFL owners voted on Tuesday to move extra-point kicks to the 15-yard line from the 2-yard line, extending the 20-yard extra points to 33-yarders. Two-point conversion attempts will remain at the 2-yard line, but defenses will be allowed to score by blocking a PAT or intercepting a two-point conversion and running it back. (Denver Post)

FFToday's Take: The new PAT distance will be a factor in leagues that subtract points for missed and it adds another scoring opportunity for defense/special teams units. These changes may only factor into a dozen of games but it does give the elite fantasy kickers a little more value heading into the 2015 season.
