Fantasy Football Points Calculator
Enter a player's raw stat line and get fantasy points for Standard, Half-PPR, and Full PPR scoring — all three side by side, so you can see exactly how much receptions are worth to your specific player.
Points by format
How fantasy scoring works
Fantasy points are just a weighted sum of real production — yards count a little, touchdowns count a lot, and turnovers cost you. The only thing that changes between scoring formats is how much a reception itself is worth, which is why running backs and receivers who catch a lot of short passes gain the most value moving from Standard to PPR, while pure between-the-tackles rushers and touchdown-dependent players change the least.
How it’s calculated
Using common default league scoring: passing yards × 0.04 (1 pt / 25 yds) + passing TD × 4 − interceptions × 2; rushing yards × 0.1 (1 pt / 10 yds) + rushing TD × 6; receiving yards × 0.1 + receiving TD × 6 + receptions × (0 Standard / 0.5 Half-PPR / 1 Full PPR); fumbles lost × −2. All categories sum into one total per format.
Uses the most common default scoring settings — always check your own league's rules, since many leagues customize TD values, bonuses, and other categories.
Worked example
A receiver's line of 7 receptions, 95 receiving yards, and 1 receiving TD (no other stats) scores 15.5 points in Standard (9.5 for yards + TD, 0 for receptions), 19.0 in Half-PPR (+3.5 for 7 receptions at 0.5 each), and 22.5 in Full PPR (+7.0 for 7 receptions at 1 each). The receptions alone are worth a full 7.0-point swing between Standard and Full PPR — nearly half that player's Standard score.
Common mistakes
- Comparing a Standard-league projection to a PPR leaderboard — the same player can look very different depending on target volume.
- Forgetting your league's specific TD point values — some award 6 points per passing TD instead of the 4-point default used here.
- Ignoring fumbles lost, which quietly erase a full receiving or rushing touchdown's worth of points.
- Assuming yards matter more than they do — touchdowns and (in PPR) receptions usually drive the score far more than yardage.
Where it is used
- Checking a player's final score after games, or projecting a expected score before kickoff.
- Comparing two players' value across different league scoring formats before a trade or lineup decision.
- Understanding exactly how much switching your league from Standard to PPR would change past results.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Standard, Half-PPR, and Full PPR?
They differ only in how much a reception itself is worth: 0 points in Standard, 0.5 points in Half-PPR, and 1 full point in Full PPR. Every other stat — passing, rushing, receiving yards and touchdowns, interceptions, fumbles — scores identically across all three. PPR formats reward pass-catching running backs and high-target wide receivers more than Standard does.
Why is my passing touchdown only worth 4 points here?
4 points per passing TD is the most common default across ESPN, Yahoo, and Sleeper standard league settings, alongside 6 points for rushing/receiving TDs. Many leagues customize this — some award 6 points per passing TD, or extra points for 300+/400+ passing-yard games. Always check your specific league's scoring settings; this calculator uses the widely-used default.
Do 2-point conversions or return touchdowns count here?
No — this calculator covers the core scoring categories (passing, rushing, receiving yardage and touchdowns, interceptions, receptions, and fumbles lost) that make up the vast majority of standard league scoring. Special-teams and 2-point conversion bonuses vary too much by league to include in a general-purpose calculator; add them manually if your league awards them.
What's a good weekly fantasy point total?
As a common rule of thumb among fantasy analysts (not an official statistic), a weekly QB1-caliber performance is roughly 18+ points, and a strong RB1 or WR1 week in PPR is roughly 15+ points. These are informal fantasy-community guidelines that vary by league scoring and season, not a published league average — treat them as a rough gut-check, not a hard target.
Does a fumble lost always cost 2 points?
In most standard scoring, yes — a lost fumble costs 2 points, matching the penalty for an interception. Some leagues only penalize fumbles lost to the other team (not fumbles a player recovers himself), which is what "fumbles lost" specifically means and what this calculator assumes you're entering.
