How do I earn points in fantasy football?
You earn points in fantasy football leagues by having your players score during the week. So basically, on Sunday if a quarterback gets passing yards or passing touchdowns, he'll score points for you. If a running back, a wide receiver or tight end rushes the ball and if they get 100 yards then a lot of the time they'll score ten points for you. That's usually how the scoring system goes. It really depends on how your scoring system in your fantasy football league is, but basically if you get yards and touchdowns, you'll score points. Now kickers and team defenses score a little differently. If Kickers get a field goal, that's pretty much three points for you. If they get an extra point, that's one extra point for you. With Team defense, they get points by preventing points. If they have a shutout they'll score a lot of bonus points for you. If they get sacks and interceptions, theyll score points for you. I think the key though is that people a lot of times overrate kickers and team defenses when they first start. The key to scoring points in a fantasy football league is yards and touchdowns, because that's going to be the most consistent thing every week. If you get a quarterback like Peyton Manning, every week he's going out and he's throwing for 300 yards and two touchdowns. He's going to be very consistent scoring points for you every week and that's what you're looking for, consistency. Even running backs and wide receivers, guys that do it every single week, are the ones to look out for and use in your fantasy football league.
