What Are Fantasy Points In Football?
Fantasy points in football are a way of keeping track of how well your fantasy team performs, separate from the actual wins and losses of the NFL teams.
Instead of focusing on the final score, fantasy football awards points to your team based on the individual statistics of the players you've drafted.
These points can come from touchdowns, passing and rushing yards, receptions (in some leagues), and other achievements during a game.
There can also be penalties for negative plays like fumbles or interceptions.
How Are Fantasy Points Awarded?
Points are typically awarded for the following actions:
- 6 points for each touchdown scored
- 1 point for every 10 rushing or receiving yards
- 4 points for each passing touchdown
- 1 point for every 25 passing yards
- 2 points deducted for each interception thrown
This scoring can vary slightly depending on league settings, but these are common benchmarks.
How Fantasy Football Scoring Works
Understanding your league's scoring system is the foundation of winning at fantasy football. Here's a complete breakdown of how points are calculated for every position.
Standard vs PPR vs Half-PPR Scoring
The three most common fantasy football scoring formats differ in one key way: how they handle receptions. In PPR (Points Per Reception) leagues, every catch earns a player 1 extra point. Half-PPR awards 0.5 points per catch. Standard scoring gives nothing for the reception itself — only yards and touchdowns count.
| Stat | Standard | Half-PPR | PPR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reception | 0 pts | 0.5 pts | 1 pt |
| Rushing / Receiving TD | 6 pts | 6 pts | 6 pts |
| Rushing / Receiving Yards | 1 pt / 10 yds | 1 pt / 10 yds | 1 pt / 10 yds |
| Passing TD | 4 pts | 4 pts | 4 pts |
| Passing Yards | 1 pt / 25 yds | 1 pt / 25 yds | 1 pt / 25 yds |
| Interception (thrown) | -2 pts | -2 pts | -2 pts |
PPR scoring significantly boosts the value of pass-catching running backs and slot receivers who see a high number of targets. When choosing players in PPR leagues, volume matters as much as efficiency.
Quarterback Scoring
- Passing TD+4 pts
- Passing Yards (per 25)+1 pt
- Rushing TD+6 pts

Running Back Scoring

Tight End & Kicker Scoring
Tight ends score the same as WRs. Kickers score based on field goal distance:
- Field Goal (0–39 yds)+3 pts
- Field Goal (40–49 yds)+4 pts
- Field Goal (50+ yds)+5 pts
- Extra Point (PAT)+1 pt
- Missed Field Goal-1 pt
Frequently Asked Questions
How do fantasy points work in NFL leagues?
Fantasy points are earned based on the real-life statistical performance of NFL players. Each stat — rushing yards, receiving touchdowns, passing yards, receptions — converts to a point value determined by your league's scoring settings. Your weekly score is the sum of all points earned by the players in your starting lineup.
What is the difference between PPR and standard scoring?
In standard scoring, players earn points only for yards and touchdowns — receptions don't earn any points by themselves. In PPR (Points Per Reception) leagues, players earn 1 additional point for every catch they make, regardless of yardage. This significantly raises the value of high-target players like slot receivers and pass-catching running backs.
How are fantasy football points calculated for a quarterback?
A QB earns 1 point per 25 passing yards and 4 points per passing touchdown. They also earn 1 point per 10 rushing yards and 6 points per rushing TD. Interceptions cost 2 points each. So a QB who throws for 300 yards (12 pts), 2 passing TDs (8 pts), and no interceptions would score 20 fantasy points in standard scoring.
Do fantasy points reset every week?
Yes. In most fantasy formats, points reset each week and you are matched against a different opponent for a head-to-head matchup. Your weekly score is based only on that week's player stats — previous weeks' performance doesn't carry over. Some formats (like total points leagues) accumulate points across the whole season.
How do I calculate fantasy points manually?
To calculate manually: take the player's rushing/receiving yards and divide by 10, take passing yards and divide by 25, add 6 for each rushing or receiving TD, add 4 for each passing TD, subtract 2 for interceptions or fumbles lost, and add 1 per reception if you're in a PPR league. Or just use the calculator above — it does this instantly for every position.
