Result: 20.00 points

ESPN standard scoring: a point per 25 passing yards, four per passing TD, a point per 10 rushing or receiving yards, six per TD, minus two per turnover. A catch is worth nothing, half a point or one. ESPN's own example — 50 rushing and 30 receiving yards, 6 catches, one score — is 14 points, or 20 in PPR.

How it's calculated

Points = pass yd/25 + 4×pass TD + scrim yd/10 + 6×TD + r×rec + 2×2PT − 2×TO

  1. StepAdd rushing and receiving yards together — both are worth a point per ten yards.
  2. StepDo the same for rushing and receiving touchdowns; both are worth six.
  3. StepPut interceptions thrown and fumbles lost in one box; both cost two points.
  4. ResultPick the league format, which changes only what a catch is worth.

What this number means

Fantasy scoring turns a box score into one number, and the weights come from your league. This page uses ESPN's published standard settings, which most other platforms follow closely. A passing yard is worth a quarter of what a rushing or receiving yard is worth, and a passing touchdown four points against six for the other two — the gap that keeps quarterbacks on a scale of their own. Turnovers cost two points, a two-point conversion adds two, and a reception is worth nothing, half a point or a full point depending on the format. Three of the eight boxes cover two categories each, because ESPN scores those pairs identically: rushing and receiving yards, rushing and receiving touchdowns, interceptions and lost fumbles. Merging them shortens the form without changing a single total under these settings, but it does mean a league that scores an interception differently from a fumble cannot be modelled here. Yardage is paid fractionally rather than in whole blocks, so 267 passing yards is 10.68 points.

Three boxes cover six categories

Rushing and receiving yards score the same, so do their touchdowns, and so do interceptions and lost fumbles. Adding each pair together keeps the form short without moving a single point under these settings.

Your league may not score turnovers the same way

ESPN docks two points for both an interception and a lost fumble, which is why they share a box here. Yahoo's default takes only one point for an interception, so a quarterback line will read a point high there.

Yardage is not a staircase

ESPN pays yardage fractionally: 267 passing yards is 10.68 points, not 10. That is why a receiver with 47 yards still moves the total.

ESPN's own settings, half PPR aside

Every value above is taken from ESPN's Scoring Formats page, checked on 2026-08-29. Half PPR is not one of ESPN's public-league defaults but a league-manager setting, so it is labelled with its value rather than as a standard.

Commonly misread

A passing touchdown is six points like any other.

ESPN's standard setting is four for a passing touchdown and six for a rushing or receiving one. That gap is the whole reason quarterbacks and running backs are ranked apart.

PPR only matters for wide receivers.

A pass-catching running back with eight catches gains eight points in full PPR. The same line is worth eight points less in a standard league.

285 passing yards rounds down to eleven points.

Yardage scores fractionally, so 285 yards is 11.4 points. Only leagues that switch on a bucketed setting round it off.

A lost fumble and an interception are different penalties.

Under ESPN's standard settings both take two points off. Only a custom league splits them.

Questions

How are fantasy football points calculated?

Under ESPN's standard settings a player scores a point for every 25 passing yards and four for a passing touchdown, a point for every 10 rushing or receiving yards and six for a rushing or receiving touchdown. Interceptions and lost fumbles cost two points each, and a two-point conversion adds two. Receptions add nothing, half a point or a full point, depending on the format.

What is the difference between standard, half PPR and full PPR?

Only what a catch is worth: nothing, half a point or one point. Everything else is identical. A receiver with eight catches scores eight more points in full PPR than in a standard league.

Why are rushing and receiving in the same box?

Because they score identically — a point per ten yards and six per touchdown. Splitting them would need two extra fields and would not change any total. If your league scores them differently, this calculator will not match it.

Do partial yards count?

Yes. ESPN awards yardage points fractionally, so 47 receiving yards is 4.7 points rather than 4. Some leagues switch to whole-point buckets instead, which this calculator does not model.

Does this match Yahoo or Sleeper?

Mostly, but not exactly. Yahoo's default deducts one point for an interception rather than two, and league managers on every platform can change any category. Check your own league settings page before trusting a projection.

Are kickers and defences covered?

No. This calculator scores offensive skill positions only — quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. Kicking and team defence run on separate tables of their own.
