In a points league (also sometimes called a rotisserie or roto league), the scoring rules for each team are the same (see the previous sections in this chapter), but you have no head-to-head games each week. Instead, your league provider compiles each team’s points scored over the entire fantasy season (18-week regular NFL season). The team with the most total points at the end of the season wins the league.

Because many strange things can happen every week in the NFL, such as an all-pro QB throwing five interceptions or a kicker hitting five field goals, upsets happen in reality and in fantasy. In one week, you may score a ton of points and still lose because your opponent scored just one more point than you did. One or two close games like that can knock a good team out of the fantasy playoffs and put a lesser team in the postseason in the head-to-head format. Because a roto league weighs total points scored over the course of the entire season, not weekly wins and losses, it’s considered a more accurate measure of a quality fantasy team. I understand that opinion, but I prefer the H2H format because it feels more like the real thing to me.
