Personally I don't really care that much about the leader boards but I think averages would still be better than total regardless of possibly injuries screwing it up for a player or too. This is because in almost all lower leagues a team has a guy that plays every game for the majority of the game meaning that his totals are going to greatly exceed everyone else's. Just my opinion though.
