What should the bonuses be for Wide Receiver yardage?

Lower them to (100[2]/150[2.5]200[3])  50%   50%   [ 2 ]
Lower them to (100[2]/125[2.5[150[3])  50%   50%   [ 2 ]
Something else (post suggestion)  0%   0%   [ 0 ]

The format may look confusing, I will clarify

Code:
150[2]/200[2.5]/250[3]

150 yards = 2 points
200 yards = 2.5 points
250 yards = 3 points


these points are added on to your wide receiver's points as bonuses for reaching these milestones in a single game. So if your wide receiver has a touchdown (6 points), receives for 150 yards (10 points) over 5 catches (1.25 points), 2 points are added to his score for reaching 150 yards, making a total of 19.25 points

It has been noted that 150 yards is rather hefty for a first-tier bonus and has been suggested to be dropped to 100, so I am putting this poll up to get an opinion from everyone.

The risk is that bonuses that are too easily given out make wide receivers far more valuable than other players, and making the bonuses harder makes them less valuable (but still very much so).

If none of the options satisfy you, please post here with your suggestion

For this one, I think it HAS to be lowered. WRs aren't guarantees to get the ball nearly as much a RB or QB. Its kind of a toss up (if you will) who will get the most looks in most teams situations. If they are lowered.. NO RECEPTION BONUS. I believe the bonus should be EXACTLY the same for tight ends.

Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't give the option to include Tight End bonuses, only WR/RB/QB. Maybe next year if they revamp it, but I doubt it. That's why where's the PPR (Points Per Reception) bonus for all skill positions that catch the ball.
