Scoring Rules

Three common scoring formats. They differ only in what a catch is worth: nothing in standard, half a point in half-PPR, a point in PPR (“points per reception”). Your league may differ; most leagues use one of these three.

Points for players are checked every day against nflverse’s own standard and PPR scoring and match exactly. Kicking points use the common ESPN-style rules above; a non-kicker who kicks (an emergency kicker) scores them too.

Team defences are not scored yet.
