Fantasy Football Scoring Calculator (PPR / Half / Std)
Turn any player stat line into fantasy football points under Standard, Half-PPR, and Full-PPR scoring at once, using standard league point values. Free.
Fantasy Football Scoring Calculator
Enter a player's stat line to see their fantasy points in all three standard scoring formats at once — Standard, Half-PPR, and Full-PPR. The only difference between them is how much each reception is worth, which is why pass-catchers swing so much by format.
How to Use the Fantasy Scoring Calculator
Enter the stat line
Fill in passing, rushing, and receiving numbers from any box score — leave the irrelevant ones at zero. A running back's line, for example, uses rushing and receiving but not passing.
Add turnovers and 2-point plays
Interceptions and fumbles lost subtract points; two-point conversions add them. These swing close matchups, so don't skip them.
Compare the three formats
The result shows Standard (no reception points), Half-PPR (0.5 per catch), and Full PPR (1 per catch). Pass-catching backs and slot receivers gain the most going from Standard to PPR.
Check your league's rules
These are the most common settings, but custom leagues vary — some use 6-point passing TDs, bonuses for 100-yard games, or different yardage scales. Adjust your read if your league differs.
How Fantasy Scoring Works — and Why PPR Changes Everything
The Standard Point Values
Fantasy football converts real NFL production into points using a set of widely shared scoring rules. Passing yards are worth one point per 25 (0.04 each), reflecting that throwing is high-volume; rushing and receiving yards are worth more at one point per 10 (0.1 each). Touchdowns are the big swings: rushing and receiving touchdowns score six points, while passing touchdowns are usually worth four (a common house rule makes them six). Turnovers cost the offense — an interception or a lost fumble typically subtracts two points — and a two-point conversion adds two. These base values are nearly universal, which is why a quarterback who throws for 300 yards and two scores lands around 20 points in almost any league, and a running back who gains 100 total yards and finds the end zone sits in a similar range.
The decisive variable is the reception. In Standard scoring, catches are worth nothing on their own — only the yards and touchdowns count. PPR ("points per reception") adds one point for every catch, and Half-PPR splits the difference at half a point. That single rule reshapes player value. A pass-catching running back who hauls in six checkdowns or a slot receiver who turns ten targets into eight grabs gains six points in full PPR purely from volume, vaulting them up the rankings, while a touchdown-dependent deep threat barely moves. This is why draft boards, waiver priorities, and trade values look different across formats, and why knowing your league's setting is the first thing any fantasy manager checks. The calculator showing all three at once makes the gap obvious: watch how much a high-catch line climbs from the Standard column to the PPR column.
"In Standard, you draft touchdowns; in PPR, you draft targets. The same stat line can be a quiet day or a league-winner depending on one rule — how much a reception is worth."
Custom Leagues and the Global Fantasy Audience
The values here are the common defaults, but fantasy is endlessly customisable, and serious leagues tinker. Six-point passing touchdowns reward quarterbacks more heavily; "TE premium" adds extra per-reception points for tight ends to boost a thin position; bonuses for 100-yard rushing or receiving games and 300-yard passing games reward ceiling performances; and some leagues dock points for incompletions or reward first downs. Defensive and kicking scoring add another layer entirely. Always confirm your specific league settings before drafting or setting a lineup, because a player's value can shift a full tier between rule sets. Fantasy football's audience now stretches well beyond the United States — the NFL's international games in London, Germany, and elsewhere have grown large followings, and managers across Europe, Australia, and Asia run leagues on the same scoring math. Wherever you play, the engine is identical: turn the box score into points, with the reception rule as the dial that sets everything.
10 Facts About Fantasy Scoring
Passing yards score 1 point per 25 (0.04 each); rushing/receiving 1 per 10 (0.1).
Rushing & receiving TDs score 6; passing TDs usually 4 (sometimes 6).
Interceptions and lost fumbles typically cost −2 each.
PPR = 1 point per reception; Half-PPR = 0.5; Standard = 0.
The reception rule is the only difference between the three main formats.
PPR boosts pass-catching backs and slot receivers the most.
A 2-point conversion adds 2 points to the scorer.
Custom leagues may add 6-pt passing TDs, yardage bonuses, or TE premium.
The same line can be a quiet day or a league-winner depending on format.
The scoring math is identical worldwide — only league settings change.
Frequently Asked Questions
- You convert a player's real stats into points: passing yards at 1 per 25 (0.04 each), rushing and receiving yards at 1 per 10 (0.1 each), rushing and receiving touchdowns at 6, passing touchdowns usually at 4, minus 2 for each interception or lost fumble, plus 2 for a two-point conversion. Then, depending on the format, you add points for receptions: 1 in PPR, 0.5 in Half-PPR, and 0 in Standard. This calculator shows all three totals at once.
- The only difference is how much a reception is worth. Standard awards nothing for a catch (just the yards and touchdowns), Half-PPR gives 0.5 points per reception, and Full PPR gives 1 point per reception. Everything else is identical. This makes high-volume pass catchers — especially receiving running backs and slot receivers — much more valuable in PPR than in Standard, which reshapes rankings and draft strategy.
- In most leagues a passing touchdown is worth 4 points, while rushing and receiving touchdowns are worth 6. The reasoning is that the quarterback only throws the ball, so they share credit with the receiver who runs it in. Some leagues use 6-point passing touchdowns to boost quarterback scoring; this calculator uses the common 4-point default. If your league uses 6, add 2 points per passing TD to the totals shown.
- Because a catch is worth a full point on its own in PPR, regardless of yardage. A running back who catches eight short passes earns eight points from receptions alone, before any yards or touchdowns — turning a modest yardage day into a strong fantasy day. This rewards volume and consistency over big plays, lifts pass-catching backs and possession receivers up the rankings, and reduces the boom-or-bust nature of touchdown-dependent players. In Standard, those same catches are worth nothing by themselves.
- They match the most common defaults, but always check your league. Custom leagues vary: some use 6-point passing touchdowns, yardage bonuses (extra points for a 100-yard or 300-yard game), TE premium (extra per-reception points for tight ends), first-down scoring, or penalties for incompletions. If your league differs, treat these totals as a baseline and adjust. The reception value and passing-TD value are the two settings most likely to differ from this calculator's defaults.
- Just enter all their stats — the scoring doesn't care about position. A quarterback who runs for a touchdown gets both passing and rushing points; a running back who throws a trick-play touchdown gets passing points too. Fill in every category the player produced in (passing, rushing, receiving) and the calculator sums them. This is also how you'd score the rare "Taysom Hill" type who contributes across all three phases.
- No — this calculator covers offensive skill players (quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends). Kicker scoring (field goals by distance, extra points) and team defense/special-teams scoring (sacks, turnovers, points allowed, return touchdowns) use entirely separate, league-specific rules that vary widely. For those positions, consult your league's settings directly. The offensive scoring here is where the vast majority of fantasy points and roster decisions live.
- Almost always it's the per-yard fractions. Most apps award decimal points for yardage (0.04 per passing yard, 0.1 per rushing/receiving yard), so 78 receiving yards is exactly 7.8 points — this calculator does the same. A few leagues round yardage points down to whole numbers, which would make 78 yards worth 7. If your totals are off by a fraction, your league likely rounds differently or uses a slightly different yardage scale; the touchdown and reception math is standard.
- Increasingly so. The NFL's international games in London, Germany, Mexico, and elsewhere have grown sizeable fan bases, and fantasy leagues now run across Europe, Australia, and Asia. The scoring math is identical wherever you play — the box score is the box score — so this calculator works for any league worldwide. Only the kickoff times and the trash talk change; the points are universal.
- Draft for whichever your league uses — the difference is real. In PPR, prioritise high-volume pass catchers: receiving running backs, slot receivers, and target-hogging tight ends climb the board because every catch is a point. In Standard, lean toward touchdown-dependent, high-yardage producers and goal-line backs, since catches are worth nothing on their own. Half-PPR sits between and is the most common modern setting. Use this calculator on last season's box scores to see how your targets score in your exact format before draft day.
