Fantasy Scoring · Rules
Points per game. Regular season and playoffs are scored; preseason isn't.
A player scores in his position group; return yards / TDs and special-teams tackles count in Returns + coverage.
How it's worked out
The regular season is scored from the weekly player stats, the playoffs from the change in each player's playoff totals since the previous round. Groups by the player's listed position group: QB (QB) · WR + TE (WR, TE) · RB / FB (RB, FB) · OL (T, G, C) · DL (DE, DT) · LB (OLB, ILB) · DB (CB, S) · K (K) · P (P) · Returns + coverage (any player, by his return and special-teams-tackle stats). Return yards, return TDs and special-teams tackles count only toward Returns + coverage, never toward the position group: a player can appear in both lists. Fumbles are charged to the position group. No minimums beyond the two bonus rules; equal points share a rank.
