Multiplication
Touchdowns and receptions are each worth a fixed number of points, so every line is a multiplication fact: touchdowns × 6, or receptions × 1 (PPR).

Fantasy Football Scoring Calculator
PPR stands for “points per reception” - it means a player earns 1 extra point every time they catch a pass, on top of normal yardage and touchdown points. Half-PPR awards half a point per catch, and Standard scoring awards none, so only yards and touchdowns count. Type any stat line below to see exactly how it turns into a fantasy score, line by line.

The default rules
Standard fantasy football scoring
These are the same defaults used across LitZone's player comparisons. Leagues can change any of these numbers, so always check your own league's rules - the calculator below lets you override the one rule that usually differs: points per reception.
| Category | Rule |
|---|---|
| Passing | 1 point per 25 passing yards |
| Passing | 4 points per passing touchdown |
| Passing | −2 points per interception |
| Rushing | 1 point per 10 rushing yards |
| Rushing | 6 points per rushing touchdown |
| Receiving | 1 point per 10 receiving yards |
| Receiving | 6 points per receiving touchdown |
| Turnovers | −2 points per fumble lost |
Receiving - points per reception (this is the rule that changes by format)
PPR
1 point
Half-PPR
0.5 points
Standard
0 points
Fumbles lost is a common addition to these rules, not part of every league's settings - check your own scoring page before assuming it applies.

What math skills this practices
Built for roughly grades 3-8 - old enough to handle multi-step arithmetic, young enough that division and decimals are still fresh practice. No prior fantasy football knowledge is required.
Division by 10 and by 25
Yardage points come from dividing rushing and receiving yards by 10, and passing yards by 25 - practical, real-world division with numbers that rarely come out even.
Decimals
Dividing yards by 10 or 25 usually leaves a decimal (like 8.3), so kids practice reading, comparing, and adding decimal amounts, not just whole numbers.
Negative numbers
Interceptions and fumbles lost subtract points. Adding a negative number to a running total is a concrete, motivating way to practice signed-number arithmetic.

FAQs
PPR stands for "points per reception." In PPR scoring, a player earns 1 point every time they catch a pass, on top of the usual yardage and touchdown points. Half-PPR awards 0.5 points per catch, and Standard scoring awards 0 points per catch, so only yards and touchdowns count.
