It would be weighted. You'd lose only 1 point for a 50 yarder. It the converse of the point system rewarding distance.

Distance isn't important - it how well you know how to kick the ball.
Cosmo said:The real issue I have with the scoring in this league is that it's way, way too touchdown oriented. Someone like Marion Barber III shouldn't be more valuable to your fantasy team than Tiki Barber, but it's a wash because Barber III gets a few goal-line looks a game. In this league, if your player doesn't score TDs, you might as well not have him.
The other league I'm in gives greater rewards for big-yardage games, especially for receivers. That was done mostly because running backs have become far too important in fantasy football. People were drafting three running backs each before going after any other position. It rewarded some creativity in drafting (like me taking the Bears D in the seventh or eighth round, or another guy in our league drafting a QB ahead of a second-tier RB).
It's a lot more fun, honestly.
