So How Can I Get Points For My Team?

Players earn points based on their performance in their weekly game. In almost all cases, players earn points for touchdowns, as well as passing, rushing, and receiving yards.

Passing yards (sometimes touchdowns as well) typically earn about half as many points as rushing/receiving yards, since QBs normally get many more.

Team defenses earn points for things like sacks, turnovers, safeties, etc. Individual defensive players (if your league uses them) typically earn points for sacks, tackles or turnovers made.

Bonuses can also be given for exceptionally good performances, like a QB throwing for over 300 yards, a kicker making a long field goal, or a team defense keeping an opponent under a certain score or a determined amount of yards.

Negative points are also given when players who commit turnovers or to kickers that miss field goals.
