Fantasy Points Calculator

Most leagues award one point per 25 passing yards, one point per 10 rushing or receiving yards, six points for rushing and receiving touchdowns, and four for passing touchdowns. Interceptions and lost fumbles typically cost two points each, though some platforms score interceptions lighter. Leagues differ mainly on reception value and passing touchdown value, both of which you can set above to match your own scoring settings exactly.

PPR stands for points per reception. In standard scoring a catch is worth nothing by itself, in half PPR it is worth half a point, and in full PPR it is worth a full point. This mainly benefits receivers and pass-catching running backs. A player with eight catches scores eight more points in full PPR than in standard, which can completely change weekly rankings and start-sit decisions.

Half-PPR awards 0.5 points for every reception, splitting the difference between standard scoring (0 points per catch) and full PPR (1 point per catch). It has become one of the most common formats in newer leagues because it still rewards high-volume pass catchers without letting receptions dominate the score the way full PPR can.

Four points per passing touchdown is the default on ESPN, Yahoo, and NFL.com, and it's still the more common setting across leagues. Six-point leagues score a passing touchdown the same as a rushing or receiving one, which raises quarterback scoring noticeably, a QB who throws 35 touchdowns in a season picks up 70 extra points under 6-point scoring, and tends to push quarterbacks earlier in drafts. Check your league's scoring settings page to confirm which your commissioner has set.

A rushing or receiving touchdown is worth 6 points in the large majority of leagues, on every major platform's default settings. A passing touchdown is worth 4 points by default, though some leagues bump it to 6 to match the other two. There's no standard bonus for how long the touchdown was; a 2-yard plunge and an 80-yard house call score the same, aside from the extra yardage points the longer play adds.

ESPN's default scoring costs a quarterback 2 points for each interception thrown, which is the more commonly used penalty and what this calculator applies. Yahoo's default is lighter, at 1 point per interception. Since this is one of the few categories where major platforms genuinely disagree, it's worth checking your own league's scoring settings page rather than assuming.

Passing yards are worth 1 point per 25 yards on nearly every platform's default scoring, while rushing and receiving yards are both worth 1 point per 10 yards. That means a 250-yard passing game and a 100-yard rushing or receiving game each score 10 points from yardage alone, before touchdowns, receptions, or turnovers are added in.

No. This calculator covers the four offensive skill positions, quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end, using passing, rushing, receiving, reception, interception, and fumble-lost stats. Kicker scoring (field goals by distance, extra points) and defense/special teams scoring (points allowed, sacks, turnovers forced) use entirely different scoring tables and aren't part of this tool.

No. Some leagues add a custom bonus, commonly 2 to 3 extra points, for a 100-yard rushing or receiving game or for touchdowns over a set distance. Those bonuses aren't part of standard scoring on ESPN, Yahoo, or NFL.com, so this calculator sticks to the base yardage, touchdown, reception, and turnover math. If your league runs bonus scoring, add the bonus manually to the total shown here.

The two settings most likely to cause a mismatch are reception value (standard, half PPR, or full PPR) and passing touchdown value (4 or 6 points), both adjustable above. Beyond those, check whether your league scores interceptions at 1 point (Yahoo's default) instead of 2 (ESPN's default), and whether it adds bonus points for long touchdowns or 100-yard games, neither of which this calculator includes. Your league's scoring settings page will list every category your commissioner has customized.

Touchdowns and receptions move the needle fastest per play, since a single touchdown is worth as much as 60 rushing or receiving yards, and a single catch in a full PPR league is worth as much as 10 receiving yards. Yardage accumulates more slowly but adds up over a full game. That's part of why PPR formats favor high-target receivers and pass-catching backs over big-play-but-low-volume players, even when their total yardage is similar.

This calculator is built around NFL fantasy football scoring, which is what the standard 1-point-per-25-passing-yards, 1-point-per-10-rushing/receiving-yards, and 4-or-6-point passing touchdown structure reflects. Fantasy college football leagues sometimes use similar categories but different scoring platforms and settings, so check your specific league's rules and scoring table before relying on this tool for a college format.

For a single player in a single game, 15 to 20 points is a solid starter performance, and anything past 25 is a great week from one roster spot. For a full lineup, standard 9-or-10-starter leagues usually see the winning score land somewhere between 110 and 140 points in a given week; under 100 is a rough week even if you win, and a 150-plus team total is an unusually good one that would beat most opponents most weeks. Full PPR leagues run a bit higher on both counts than standard leagues, since every reception adds to the total.

IDP leagues score defensive players on their own stat line instead of, or alongside, a team defense. Typical values are 1 point per solo tackle, 0.5 for an assisted tackle, 2 for a sack, 2 to 3 for an interception, 2 for a forced fumble or fumble recovery, and 6 for a defensive touchdown, though exact numbers vary more between platforms here than almost any other category. This calculator doesn't compute IDP scoring; it's built for the four offensive skill positions only, so if your league starts individual defenders, check your platform's own defensive scoring table for the exact point values it uses.
