IN THIS CHAPTER

Realizing the impact of scoring in fantasy football

Getting offensive for the bulk of your scoring

Examining defense’s role in the scoring picture

Picking a scoring format that suits your style

In real sports, the team that scores the most points wins — the same goes for fantasy football. There are baskets in basketball, runs in baseball, and goals in hockey, but scoring in fantasy football entails more than just getting the ball into the end zone and between the uprights. Many statistics show the value and ability of players beyond their actual points scored, and those stats translate into fantasy points for your team.

This chapter explains how scoring works in fantasy football and how it differs from the NFL. Note: The default settings I refer to in this chapter and in this book are the default settings on Yahoo!’s Fantasy Football Platform, but other leagues use different scoring modifiers that may even affect your draft strategy. Check with your league and acquaint yourself with its scoring default settings before you do anything.
