Fantasy Football Scoring Explained

Formula

Fantasy football points are calculated by assigning point values to various statistical categories. The three main scoring formats are Standard, Half-PPR, and Full PPR (Point Per Reception).

PPR formats increase the value of pass-catching backs and wide receivers, while standard scoring emphasizes touchdowns and yardage. Understanding scoring helps with draft strategy and lineup decisions.

Common use cases:

  • Projecting player fantasy output
  • Comparing scoring formats for trades
  • Draft preparation and rankings
