How does scoring work in fantasy football?

Answer 1

It depends on the league that you're in. Some give bonus points for catches, tackles or long field goals.

The best online fantasy football league manager software allows you to tailor your league's scoring. Most leagues has the following scoring as a basic guidline:

Basic Method The first, and easiest method, is the Basic Method. The Basic Method scores points for each player in direct correlation with the number of points the player actually scored during a given game (i.e. - a player who rushes for a 17-yard touchdown scores six points, the point value given by the NFL for a touchdown). The default scoring for the Basic Scoring Methodology is as follows: * 6 pts per Rushing TD * 6 pts per Receiving TD * 3 pts per Passing TD * 6 pts for a ST and Def TD * 3 pts per Field Goal * 1 pt per Extra Point Performance Method The second method is the Performance Method. The Performance Method not only rewards points to a player who is involved on scoring plays, as in the Basic Method, but also rewards a player for yards achieved through-out the game. * 6 pts per Rushing TD * 6 pts per Receiving TD * 3 pts per Passing TD * 6 pts for a ST and Def TD * 3 pts per Field Goal * 1 pt per Extra Point * -1 pt for Interceptions thrown * 2 pts for a rushing conversion * 2 pts for a receiving conversion * 1 pt per passing conversion * 1 pt per 10 yds rushing * 1 pt per 10 yds receiving * 1 pt per 20 yds passing You can also add any of the following categories to you scoring method to make things more interesting. All-purpose Yards Per Rush Avg. Yards Per Completion Points Allowed by Defense Avg. Yards Per Reception Points Per Game Avg.

Answer 2

Fantasy football is generally a season-long competition played by football fans in which participants draft their own team and compete with teams built by others. Individual game winners are determined by points accumulated by players based on their real-life performance in a game on the same day.

Leagues

A fantasy league is usually comprised of 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 fantasy teams, each drafted and operated by a different contestant. Each contestant (owner) takes turns selecting players until all predetermined roster slots are filled. Team owners are responsible for choosing a starting lineup for each game, signing replacement players, and making trades if they choose to do so. At the end of the fantasy season, generally the final weeks of the NFL's regular season, a playoff tournament will determine the league champion. The number of teams qualifying for the playoffs is determined before the season begins.

Team Roster

The number of players on a fantasy football team varies from league to league, but generally includes at least two quarterbacks, three running backs, three wide receivers, two tight ends, one kicker and two defensive units.

You could get an extra point, 1, after a touchdown, you could get a safety, 2, you tackle someone in the end zone, you could get a field goal, 3, you could also get a touchdown, 6, that's all the points you can get.

Touchdown = 6 points Point after touchdown (PAT) kick = 1 point Point after touchdown (PAT) run = 2 point Fieldgoal = 3 points Safety = 2 points (though this is rare occurence)

Touchdown = 6 points

Conversion or "try" = 1 point if kicked, 2 points if pass/run

Field goal = 3 points

Safety = 2 points
