Scoring settings are the league rules that decide how many points players earn for their stats, such as yards, touchdowns, and receptions.
Scoring settings are the rules that turn what happens on the field into fantasy points. They cover things like how many points a passing touchdown is worth, how much each rushing or receiving yard earns, and whether a reception itself is worth anything. Before the draft, every manager should read these settings carefully, because they change which players are most valuable.
The most common format is standard scoring, where yardage and touchdowns matter most. In a PPR (point per reception) league, wide receivers, running backs who catch passes, and tight ends get a boost because every catch adds a point. Half-PPR sits in between. Other settings, like points per first down or bonuses for long touchdowns, shift value in smaller ways.
Scoring settings also cover defenses and kickers, such as points for sacks, interceptions, or field goal distance. They set penalties for turnovers and missed kicks too. Two leagues can use the same players but feel very different just because of these rules, so knowing your league's settings is a key part of building a winning team.
They change which players score the most points. In a PPR league, pass-catching running backs and busy receivers move up your draft board, while in standard leagues, yardage and touchdowns matter more than catches.
Standard gives no points for a catch, half-PPR gives 0.5 points per catch, and PPR gives a full point per catch. The more points per reception, the more valuable high-volume pass catchers become.
