#TOUCHDOWN POINTS FULL#
The differences in that range matter, but if there’s a 10-score gap from one guy to another, over a full season that’s still only 20 points extra in the six-point leagues, just over a point a game. Most fantasy-relevant quarterbacks (other than the aforementioned run-dominant guys) throw a similar number of touchdowns, from the high 20s to the high 30s. If each touchdown is worth two more points, six-point leagues would give him 100 more points, 531.1 points … and 100.6 more than Ryan. 1 quarterback last year, with 431.1 fantasy points, 70.6 more than second-place Matt Ryan. For the most extreme example, Patrick Mahomes was the No. This is obvious, but it’s still worth noting - when quarterbacks get six points for a passing touchdown, quarterbacks’ scoring goes way up. In short, rushing quarterbacks like Allen, Jackson, and Cam Newton are insanely appealing in normal fantasy leagues, but less so in six-point TD leagues, because they have that much more of a gap to make up. 1.5 points is still 1.5 points, but that’s a much narrower gap than 3.5. There’s still a difference in yardage scoring, but in our above example of the 25-yard touchdown, the passing score is worth seven points compared to the 8.5 points the rush is worth. When touchdowns are worth six points, though, the gap is much lessened. A rushing touchdown being worth 50% more than a passing touchdown helps them make up a gap. But quarterbacks who do a lot of running, like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, can make their fantasy bones in that format even if they aren’t dominant as passers. One play like that isn’t going to make or break a season. In normal leagues, a 25-yard touchdown pass is worth five points (four for the touchdown, one for the 25 yards), while a 25-yard touchdown run is worth 8.5 points (six for the touchdown, 2.5 for the 25 yards). So leagues with six-point TDs don’t automatically take quarterbacks from “draft late” to “load up in the first round.” The changes are more subtle than that.

You aren’t drafting a quarterback versus a running back you’re drafting for value at a position, and that means what you care about more than anything else is how a quarterback performs compared to his fellow quarterbacks, and every quarterback gets the benefit of the extra scoring. The first thing to remember is that things aren’t that different in six-point TD leagues. So today we’re looking at a few things to know about leagues that score like that. There are plenty of leagues that use six points for all touchdowns, passing or otherwise. That is because quarterbacks naturally account for so many more touchdowns than their peers at the other positions, so it keeps QB scoring from being wildly disproportionate.īut it’s not universal. The normal scoring structure in fantasy football is for quarterbacks to get four points for each passing touchdown.
