What is the difference between Standard, Half-PPR, and Full PPR?

The difference is how receptions are scored. Standard gives 0 points per catch, Half-PPR gives 0.5 points per reception, and Full PPR gives 1 point per reception. PPR formats boost the value of pass-catching running backs and slot receivers.

How many points is a passing touchdown worth?

Most leagues award 4 points for a passing touchdown, while rushing and receiving touchdowns are worth 6 points. Some leagues use 6-point passing TDs; this calculator defaults to the standard 4 but you can adjust the inputs to match yours.

Why do passing yards score so few points?

Passing yards typically score 1 point per 25 yards (0.04 per yard), while rushing and receiving yards score 1 point per 10 yards (0.1 per yard). The lower rate balances the much higher volume of passing yards quarterbacks accumulate.

Do interceptions and fumbles reduce fantasy points?

Yes. Interceptions thrown usually cost 2 points each, and fumbles lost typically cost 2 points each as well. These negative plays are subtracted from a player's total, which is why turnover-prone games can sink a fantasy score.

Can I use this for a custom league?

Yes. The points-per-reception field accepts any value, so you can model 0, 0.5, 1, or even 1.5 PPR tight-end-premium leagues. The other categories use the most common defaults, giving you an accurate baseline for nearly any standard scoring setup.

Fantasy Football Points Calculator

Fantasy football turns real NFL box-score stats into points, but every league weights those stats differently. This calculator lets you plug in a player’s passing, rushing, and receiving numbers and instantly see their fantasy total under Standard, Half-PPR, Full PPR, or a custom reception value.

How it works

Each statistical category is multiplied by its point value and summed. The standard weights this tool uses are:

Passing yards:      0.04 pts/yd  (1 per 25 yards)
Passing TD:         4 pts
Interception:      -2 pts
Rushing yards:      0.1 pts/yd   (1 per 10 yards)
Rushing TD:         6 pts
Reception:          PPR value (0, 0.5, or 1)
Receiving yards:    0.1 pts/yd   (1 per 10 yards)
Receiving TD:       6 pts
Fumble lost:       -2 pts

The reception multiplier is the only value that changes between scoring formats. Total fantasy points equals the sum of every category after applying its weight, including the negative contributions from interceptions and fumbles.

Example and notes

A running back with 120 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD, 5 receptions, 45 receiving yards, and 0 fumbles scores: 120 * 0.1 = 12 rushing-yard points, 6 for the TD, 45 * 0.1 = 4.5 receiving-yard points, plus receptions. In Standard that is 22.5, in Half-PPR 5 * 0.5 = 2.5 more for 25.0, and in Full PPR 5 * 1 = 5 more for 27.5.

Tips: PPR formats reward target volume, so high-reception backs and slot receivers gain the most. When comparing players across formats, watch how receptions swing the totals — a 10-catch game is worth a full 10 extra points in Full PPR versus Standard.
