What Is Fantasy Football Scoring?
Fantasy football scoring converts a player’s real football statistics into points according to the rules of a fantasy league.
Common scoring categories include passing yards, touchdowns, rushing yards, receiving yards, receptions, turnovers, and two-point conversions.
Different leagues can assign different values to these statistics.
For example, some leagues award four points per passing touchdown, while others award six.
Reception scoring also varies between Standard, Half-PPR, and Full PPR formats.
MyCruncher allows you to calculate fantasy points under these common formats or enter custom scoring values.
Standard vs. Half-PPR vs. Full PPR
One of the most important differences between fantasy football scoring formats is how many points a player earns for each reception.
Standard Scoring
Standard, or non-PPR, scoring does not award extra fantasy points simply for catching a pass.
Players still receive points from receiving yards and touchdowns.
Half-PPR Scoring
Half-PPR awards half a point for every reception.
Full PPR Scoring
Full PPR stands for Points Per Reception.
Players earn one additional fantasy point for every reception.
Reception Scoring Comparison
| Receptions | Standard | Half-PPR | Full PPR |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 0.5 | 1 |
| 3 | 0 | 1.5 | 3 |
| 5 | 0 | 2.5 | 5 |
| 7 | 0 | 3.5 | 7 |
| 10 | 0 | 5 | 10 |
This comparison illustrates why players who catch many passes can have different values across fantasy formats.
Common Fantasy Football Scoring Rules
The following table shows the common preset scoring values used by the MyCruncher calculator.
| Statistic | Typical Points |
|---|---|
| Passing Yard | +0.04 |
| Passing Touchdown | +4 |
| Interception Thrown | −2 |
| Rushing Yard | +0.1 |
| Rushing Touchdown | +6 |
| Receiving Yard | +0.1 |
| Receiving Touchdown | +6 |
| Reception | 0 / 0.5 / 1 |
| Fumble Lost | −2 |
| 2-Point Conversion | +2 |
The reception value depends on the selected fantasy format.
Other scoring values may be different in custom leagues.
Always compare these settings with your actual league rules.
How Are Fantasy Football Points Calculated?
Fantasy points are calculated by multiplying each recorded statistic by its applicable scoring value.
Add the positive scoring categories, then account for any turnover penalties.
Passing Points Formula
Rushing Points Formula
Receiving Points Formula
Other Points Formula
Total Fantasy Points Formula
These formulas apply to MyCruncher’s common preset scoring values.
In Custom mode, the selected custom point values replace the corresponding preset values.
Quarterback Fantasy Points Calculation Example
Example: Suppose a quarterback finishes a game with 250 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, one interception, and 30 rushing yards.
For this example, assume the player has no other scoring statistics.
Example Quarterback Statistics
- Passing Yards: 250
- Passing Touchdowns: 2
- Interceptions: 1
- Rushing Yards: 30
- Rushing Touchdowns: 0
- Receptions: 0
- Receiving Yards: 0
- Fumbles Lost: 0
- 2-Point Conversions: 0
Step 1: Calculate Passing Yard Points
The preset scoring system awards one point for every 25 passing yards.
Step 2: Calculate Passing Touchdown Points
Each passing touchdown is worth four points.
Step 3: Calculate Interception Penalty
Each interception thrown subtracts two points.
Step 4: Calculate Passing Points
Add passing yard points and touchdown points, then subtract the interception penalty.
The quarterback earns 16 passing fantasy points.
Step 5: Calculate Rushing Points
Thirty rushing yards earn three fantasy points.
Step 6: Calculate Total Fantasy Points
Add the passing and rushing points.
Quarterback Scoring Summary
| Statistic | Fantasy Points |
|---|---|
| 250 Passing Yards | +10.0 |
| 2 Passing Touchdowns | +8.0 |
| 1 Interception | −2.0 |
| 30 Rushing Yards | +3.0 |
| Total | 19.0 |
The quarterback scores 19 fantasy points using the common preset values.
Because there were no receptions, the score would be the same under Standard, Half-PPR, and Full PPR settings.
Some leagues award six points per passing touchdown or use different turnover penalties. Always verify your league’s scoring system.
Running Back Fantasy Points Calculation Example
Example: Suppose a running back records 80 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, five receptions, and 50 receiving yards.
The player has no fumbles lost and no additional scoring events.
Example Running Back Statistics
- Rushing Yards: 80
- Rushing Touchdowns: 1
- Receptions: 5
- Receiving Yards: 50
- Receiving Touchdowns: 0
- Fumbles Lost: 0
Step 1: Calculate Rushing Yard Points
Step 2: Add Rushing Touchdown Points
Step 3: Calculate Receiving Yard Points
Step 4: Calculate Standard Fantasy Points
Standard scoring does not add reception points.
Step 5: Calculate Half-PPR Fantasy Points
Five receptions at half a point each add 2.5 points.
Step 6: Calculate Full PPR Fantasy Points
Five receptions at one point each add five points.
Running Back Scoring Summary
| Scoring Format | Fantasy Points |
|---|---|
| Standard | 19.0 |
| Half-PPR | 21.5 |
| Full PPR | 24.0 |
The same player earns five more points in Full PPR than Standard because of the five receptions.
This is why reception scoring is important when evaluating pass-catching running backs.
Fantasy Points by Player Position
Different offensive positions accumulate fantasy points through different types of plays.
Quarterbacks
Quarterbacks commonly generate points from passing yards, passing touchdowns, and sometimes rushing statistics.
Interceptions and lost fumbles may reduce their score.
Running Backs
Running backs may earn points from rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.
Pass-catching running backs can gain additional value in PPR formats.
Wide Receivers
Wide receivers often earn fantasy points from receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.
Receivers who catch many passes can benefit significantly from PPR scoring.
Tight Ends
Tight ends usually earn points through receiving statistics, although certain players may also record rushing or other offensive statistics.
Some custom fantasy leagues award additional reception points to tight ends.
Use Custom scoring when your league’s rules can be represented by the available scoring fields.
Fantasy Football Scoring Comparison by Position
The following table compares four hypothetical player stat lines under common Standard, Half-PPR, and Full PPR scoring.
| Position | Standard | Half-PPR | Full PPR |
|---|---|---|---|
| QB Example | 19.0 | 19.0 | 19.0 |
| RB Example | 19.0 | 21.5 | 24.0 |
| WR Example | 15.0 | 18.5 | 22.0 |
| TE Example | 12.0 | 14.5 | 17.0 |
The QB and RB examples use the statistics described earlier in this guide.
The hypothetical wide receiver has seven receptions, 90 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.
The tight end has five receptions, 60 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.
These examples show how reception volume changes the final fantasy score across formats.
How Are Passing Yards Scored in Fantasy Football?
The MyCruncher preset formats award 0.04 fantasy points for each passing yard.
That equals one point for every 25 passing yards.
Passing Yard Points Chart
| Passing Yards | Fantasy Points |
|---|---|
| 100 | 4.0 |
| 150 | 6.0 |
| 200 | 8.0 |
| 250 | 10.0 |
| 300 | 12.0 |
| 350 | 14.0 |
| 400 | 16.0 |
These values include passing yardage points only.
Touchdowns, turnovers, rushing statistics, and other scoring events are calculated separately.
How Much Is a Passing Touchdown Worth?
In the MyCruncher preset formats, a passing touchdown is worth four fantasy points.
For example, three passing touchdowns produce:
Some leagues award six points per passing touchdown.
You can use Custom scoring to adjust this value for leagues with different passing touchdown rules.
How Are Rushing Yards and Touchdowns Scored?
The preset scoring formats award one point for every 10 rushing yards.
Rushing touchdowns typically earn six points under these presets.
Rushing Points Example
Suppose a player rushes for 95 yards and one touchdown.
The player earns 15.5 fantasy points from rushing statistics alone.
How Are Receiving Yards and Touchdowns Scored?
Receiving yardage usually earns one fantasy point for every 10 receiving yards under the MyCruncher presets.
Receiving touchdowns earn six points.
Reception points are then added according to the selected PPR format.
Wide Receiver Scoring Example
Suppose a wide receiver records seven receptions, 90 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.
The receiving yards earn:
The touchdown adds six points.
Full PPR adds seven points for seven receptions.
The same stat line earns 18.5 points in Half-PPR and 15 points in Standard.
How Do Interceptions Affect Fantasy Points?
Interceptions thrown by a player can reduce fantasy points.
The MyCruncher preset scoring values subtract two points for each interception thrown.
For example, two interceptions produce a four-point deduction.
Some fantasy leagues use different penalties.
Check your league settings when calculating a quarterback’s fantasy total.
How Are Fumbles Lost Scored?
A fumble lost occurs when a player loses possession of the football and the opposing team recovers it.
The MyCruncher preset formats subtract two points for a lost fumble.
For example, one lost fumble reduces the fantasy score by two points.
A fumble that is recovered by the same team is not necessarily scored as a lost fumble under these settings.
Use the number of fumbles lost credited by your fantasy league’s statistical source.
How Are Two-Point Conversions Scored?
A successful two-point conversion can provide additional fantasy points to the player credited with the scoring play.
The MyCruncher preset formats award two points for each successful conversion credited to the player.
For example, two credited two-point conversions produce four fantasy points.
Actual play attribution and scoring rules should be verified against the fantasy platform.
How to Use Custom Fantasy Football Scoring
Not every fantasy football league uses the same default scoring system.
MyCruncher includes a Custom mode that allows you to adjust the point values for the supported statistics.
After selecting Custom scoring, enter the point values used by your league in the corresponding custom fields.
Available Custom Scoring Categories
- Points per Passing Yard
- Points per Passing Touchdown
- Points per Interception
- Points per Rushing Yard
- Points per Rushing Touchdown
- Points per Reception
- Points per Receiving Yard
- Points per Receiving Touchdown
- Points per Fumble Lost
- Points per 2-Point Conversion
For interception and fumble penalties, check the signed value required by the custom scoring fields.
Negative point values represent deductions in the scoring formula.
Custom Fantasy Scoring Calculation Example
Example: Suppose your league awards six points for a passing touchdown and subtracts only one point for an interception.
Use the same quarterback statistics from the earlier example.
- Passing Yards: 250
- Passing Touchdowns: 2
- Interceptions: 1
- Rushing Yards: 30
Step 1: Calculate Passing Yard Points
Step 2: Calculate Custom Passing TD Points
Step 3: Calculate Custom Interception Penalty
Step 4: Calculate Rushing Points
Step 5: Calculate Total Custom Points
With these custom settings, the quarterback scores 24 fantasy points.
The same performance earns 19 points under the common preset settings.
Standard Preset vs. Custom Scoring
| Scoring Rule | Preset | Custom Example |
|---|---|---|
| Passing TD | +4 | +6 |
| Interception | −2 | −1 |
| Passing Yard | +0.04 | +0.04 |
| Rushing Yard | +0.1 | +0.1 |
| Example Total | 19.0 | 24.0 |
This comparison shows why two leagues can award different fantasy scores for the same player performance.
Why Do Fantasy Football Scores Differ Between Platforms?
Fantasy platforms can use different league defaults and custom scoring settings.
Even leagues on the same platform may award different points for the same statistics.
Possible differences include passing touchdown values, interception penalties, reception bonuses, yardage bonuses, and other rules.
Statistical corrections can also change official fantasy totals.
For the most accurate comparison, use the exact league rules and the official statistics credited to the player.
What Is Fractional Fantasy Football Scoring?
Fractional scoring awards partial fantasy points for yardage.
For example, 95 rushing yards at 0.1 point per yard equals 9.5 points.
Similarly, 275 passing yards at 0.04 point per yard equals 11 points.
Some leagues use whole-yardage increments or different rounding rules.
Check the league settings when interpreting a decimal score.
What Is Tight End Premium Scoring?
Some fantasy leagues award tight ends additional points per reception compared with other positions.
This is often called tight end premium or TEP scoring.
For example, a league may award tight ends 1.5 points per reception while other players receive one point.
A tight end with six receptions would earn nine reception points under that illustrative premium.
MyCruncher’s Custom scoring allows you to enter a different reception value for an individual calculation.
It does not automatically apply separate position-specific rules to an entire fantasy roster.
What About Fantasy Football Bonus Points?
Some fantasy leagues award bonus points when players reach specific statistical milestones.
Examples might include bonuses for 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards, or long touchdowns.
Bonus rules vary by league.
The MyCruncher calculator includes the listed passing, rushing, receiving, turnover, and conversion fields.
It does not provide separate inputs for every possible yardage milestone, long-touchdown bonus, or special play.
If your league uses bonus rules not represented by the calculator, account for them separately when checking the final score.
Can a Fantasy Football Calculator Predict Future Points?
A fantasy points calculator can estimate points from the statistics you enter.
Those statistics may be actual game results or hypothetical player projections.
However, the calculator does not independently predict how many yards, touchdowns, or receptions a player will record in an upcoming game.
If you enter projected statistics, the result is a projected fantasy score based on your assumptions.
Actual performance can differ significantly.
How to Compare Two Fantasy Football Players
The calculator can help compare two hypothetical player performances under the same scoring format.
First, select your league’s scoring rules and enter Player A’s statistics.
Record the calculated fantasy total.
Then enter Player B’s statistics using the same scoring settings.
Compare the two results.
This approach helps show how different statistical performances translate into fantasy points.
Remember that a higher score from past statistics does not guarantee a better performance in a future game.

Common Fantasy Football Scoring Mistakes
- Using the wrong scoring format. Standard, Half-PPR, and Full PPR produce different reception points.
- Confusing passing and rushing touchdowns. Passing touchdowns often award fewer points than rushing touchdowns in common formats.
- Forgetting interceptions. Interception penalties reduce fantasy totals.
- Entering fumbles instead of fumbles lost. Use the number of lost fumbles credited in the league statistics.
- Forgetting receiving yardage. Receiving yards earn points in Standard scoring too.
- Counting receptions twice. Reception bonuses should be added only once.
- Ignoring custom league settings. A commissioner may change the point values.
- Missing two-point conversions. Successful credited conversions can add fantasy points.
- Assuming every league uses fractional scoring. Rounding and yardage-increment rules may differ.
- Ignoring excluded categories. Some leagues award bonuses or special points not included in this calculator.
