Fantasy football simulates the real deal by using a performance-based scoring system. A touchdown (TD) is worth 6 points for an NFL team and 6 fantasy points for a player on a fantasy team (for rushing or receiving touchdowns. Many leagues count passing TDs for 4 points). Fantasy players are also awarded 0.5 or 1 point per catch, points for yardage gained, such as 1 point for every ten yards gained rushing or receiving. Bad NFL plays often count as negative fantasy points; interceptions and fumbles lost can be worth -1 to -2 points respectively. In general, every statistic can be used to rate a player’s achievements, good and bad, depending on your fantasy league.

Your fantasy team’s final score each week is the sum of all your starting players’ fantasy points. Table 1-1 shows an example of fantasy scoring for one week in a league with fractional and negative points. Don’t worry about having to calculate all this each week. Your league provider does the math for you. For more specifics about scoring, check out Chapter 2.
