What is 'total points' or 'fantasy points' scoring in fantasy football?
The total points scoring in fantasy football is different , it's more like fantasy baseball actually. What fantasy points are all about is that you score points just like in head-to-head, based on what your players do. So say our running back gets a hundred yards, that's going to be worth ten points. But the difference in a total points fantasy football league is that instead of adding those points up to go against a team every week, you're just going to add up all those points for the whole season. So basically you'll keep track of who's scored the most amount of points and just keep adding them up week by week by week. It kind of knocks out teams a little earlier and some teams will fall behind, so that's a negative of these types of fantasy football leagues, but it might be a little more fair in terms of the truly best team wins the fantasy football league. It depends for fantasy points leagues, there's going to be a lot of different types of scoring systems. They might get a little more involved where you get bonus points for scoring over a hundred yards, or they might get more involved in terms of defensive stats, like safeties and different things like that. I tend to see the total points as getting a little more creative in terms of what scores a point. But the big thing is, instead of facing a different team and having wins and losses you get to who scores the most points, whatever its going to be, wins the fantasy football league.
