How the points are scored

Standard league scoring, from games already played. Every stat a league counts is counted here.

  • Passing yards: 1 point every 25
  • Passing touchdown: 4
  • Interception: -2
  • Rushing or receiving yards: 1 point every 10
  • Rushing or receiving touchdown: 6
  • Reception: 1 in PPR, 0.5 in half PPR, 0 in standard
  • Fumble lost: -2
  • Two-point conversion: 2

A lost fumble counts against the player carrying the ball on that play.
