Understanding Fantasy Football Scoring

Fantasy Football is a game where participants assemble a virtual team of real National Football League (NFL) players. These teams then compete against each other based on the statistical performance of their chosen players in actual games. The goal is to accumulate more fantasy points than your opponent.

Common Scoring Rules Explained:

  • Passing Yards: Quarterbacks earn points for throwing the ball. A common scoring rule is 1 point for every 25 passing yards (0.04 points per yard).
  • Passing Touchdowns: When a quarterback throws a touchdown pass, they typically receive 4 points.
  • Interceptions Thrown: Turning the ball over is penalized. Quarterbacks usually lose 2 points for each interception thrown.
  • Rushing Yards: Running backs, quarterbacks, and wide receivers earn points for carrying the ball. A standard rule is 1 point for every 10 rushing yards (0.1 points per yard).
  • Rushing Touchdowns: Scoring a touchdown on the ground is highly valued, typically earning 6 points.
  • Receiving Yards: Wide receivers, tight ends, and running backs earn points for catching passes. Similar to rushing, it's often 1 point for every 10 receiving yards (0.1 points per yard).
  • Receiving Touchdowns: Catching a touchdown pass also earns 6 points.
  • Receptions (PPR): In "Point Per Reception" (PPR) leagues, players receive an additional point for each pass they catch, regardless of yardage. This significantly boosts the value of players who catch many passes.
  • Fumbles Lost: Losing possession of the ball due to a fumble is penalized, usually by -2 points.
  • 2-Point Conversions: Successfully converting a 2-point attempt (either by rushing, receiving, or passing) earns 2 points for the player who scored or passed for it.

Example Calculation:

Let's say a player has the following stats in a game:

  • Passing Yards: 250
  • Passing Touchdowns: 2
  • Interceptions Thrown: 1
  • Rushing Yards: 50
  • Rushing Touchdowns: 1
  • Receiving Yards: 0
  • Receiving Touchdowns: 0
  • Receptions: 0
  • Fumbles Lost: 0
  • 2-Point Conversions: 0

Here's how the points would be calculated:

  • Passing Yards: 250 yards * (1 point / 25 yards) = 10 points
  • Passing Touchdowns: 2 TDs * 4 points/TD = 8 points
  • Interceptions Thrown: 1 INT * -2 points/INT = -2 points
  • Rushing Yards: 50 yards * (1 point / 10 yards) = 5 points
  • Rushing Touchdowns: 1 TD * 6 points/TD = 6 points

Total Fantasy Points: 10 + 8 – 2 + 5 + 6 = 27 points

This calculator helps you quickly assess a player's value based on these common scoring metrics, allowing you to make informed decisions for your fantasy team.
