I can't return the ball on punts/kick-offs for the life of me. Most of the time my blockers miss their block & just let the opponent blow right by them. It's hard for me to get out to the twenty on most kick-offs.

What gives?

You gotta juke or spin as soon as you catch the ball. I've been able to return 3 kickoffs for a TD through 6 games of my dynasty. Punt returns are another story, nearly impossible to get a return of over 20 yds

I've had luck with actually setting up my blocks on punt returns. Just be patient. However, on kick offs, from what I've experienced, you have to pick a lane and go. Find a hole in the return coverage and stick with it. You have to stay north and south on kick returns or else you'll get smashed every time trying to find room to run.
