Wbolin9 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 ESPN Standard Scoring League where a fumble counts for 2. AP fumbled once last night, yet had a TD(6) and 86 total yards. I got 11 points for him though, which doesn't make sense to me. Should be 12, unless I'm a complete idiot. Am I an idiot? Maybe I just don't get how it works...

stevegrab Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Do you points for total yards or separately for rushing and receiving? Do they do fractional points (.1 per yard) or whole (1 per 10). In my league he scored 12, and we do -1 for a lost fumble rush yards 69 = 6 rec yards 17 = 1 TD = 6 FL = -1 total = 12 My guess is you're expecting 8 points from yardage but it is really 7 Understanding your scoring is critical, and something you should probably know when the season starts not be confused about in week 14 Edited December 11, 2015 by stevegrab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy Named Suh Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 ^This is how ESPN works...49 yards rushing and 51 yards recieving is 4 points rushing and 5 points receiving even though it is 100 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that is how every fantasy site works, since most people don't score points for total yards, but instead do rushing and receiving separately. It may be a scoring category in all/most fantasy sites, and some leagues may use it but not most. Fractional points would have netted 8.6 points instead of 7.

Wbolin9 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Thanks guys. I don't understand why tthe scoring is like that. I'd just assume total yards would make more sense, but I don't know nothin' haha. This is my first year playing fantasy. Guess I didn't read the fine prints enough.

Shaft Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Yep, he scored 12 in my league. As the others said, it's not total yards, but rushing points + receiving points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
