What are 'fractional points' in fantasy football?

Fractional points in fantasy football leagues is a thing I like actually. It's a way for every yard to matter. So in a lot of fantasy football leagues, 80 rushing yards will equal eight points but 85 rushing yards will also equal eight points. So you're stuck on eight points until you get to 90 yards. Now if you use fractional points, which a lot of fantasy footbal leagues use, this would go for the passing yards and the kicking, even if you have yardage requirements or whatever. So if you have 85 rushing yards, you'll get 8.5 points. Instead of just rounding off, every yard that you get is taken into account. I don't see any downside to having fractional points within your fantasy football league because the stat system does it for you. They keep track, and that way if you get 89 yards, you're not screwed over by you only getting eight points.
