SCORING & LINEUPS

Understand fantasy scoring.

What PPR means, how league settings change fantasy points, and why individual kickoff locks matter.

Fantasy football assigns points to players from recorded game statistics. The goal is to select a set of starters whose combined fantasy points beat another manager’s starters that week. Scoring rules matter: two leagues can give the same real player different fantasy totals.

SECTION 01

Standard, half-PPR and full PPR

Standard scoring does not add reception points; half PPR generally adds 0.5 per reception and full PPR adds one. Receiving yards and receiving touchdowns can still score in all three formats. The selected league scoring format is shown in settings and the matchup center.

SECTION 02

Configurable scoring

Commissioners can adjust selected settings such as passing-touchdown value, interception penalty, fumble penalty and yardage bonuses before the draft. Changes should be agreed with managers early; do not assume another league has the same rules.

SECTION 03

Setting starters

The current roster interface supports a conventional formation: one QB, two RBs, two WRs, one TE, a flexible RB/WR/TE slot, one kicker, and one defense, provided your roster is large enough. Bench players remain on the team but do not earn points for that lineup unless chosen as starters.

SECTION 04

Kickoff locks and historical results

For real NFL player leagues, starters become locked when their game begins. Once recorded statistics exist, an unavailable kickoff timestamp must not be treated as permission to rewrite that result. Reviewing an old matchup should never create retroactive starters.

SECTION 05

Data freshness

The present data importer uses delayed weekly open data, not play-by-play live scoring. Gameweek totals can be incomplete while statistics are missing; the matchup screen identifies that state instead of presenting it as a finished result.
