Lineup & scoring A few quick settings tell us where scarcity and scoring advantages really come from.
Primary scoring format Standard / Non-PPR Half-PPR Full PPR PPR with bonuses Custom scoring Not sure
Starting QB 1 QB 2 QBs No QB / unusual format Not sure
Starting RBs 1 2 3
Starting WRs 1 2 3 4
Starting TEs 0 1 2
Flex spots 0 — No flex 1 — RB / WR / TE 1 — QB / RB / WR / TE 2 — RB / WR / TE 2 — QB / RB / WR / TE 1 flex + 1 superflex Other / custom setup Not sure A regular flex uses RB/WR/TE. A Superflex can also use a QB.
Set the lineup shape first. Then we’ll use the scoring rules below to decide which player types gain or lose value.
Passing yards per point 10 yards 20 yards 25 yards 50 yards Not sure
Passing touchdown points 4 points 6 points Not sure
Interception penalty -1 point -2 points No penalty Not sure
Points per reception 0 (Non-PPR) 0.5 (Half-PPR) 1 (Full PPR) 1.5 2 Not sure
Rushing yards per point 5 yards 10 yards 15 yards 20 yards 25 yards Not sure
Rushing points at threshold 0.5 points 1 point 2 points 3 points Not sure
Receiving yards per point 5 yards 10 yards 15 yards 20 yards 25 yards Not sure
Receiving points at threshold 0.5 points 1 point 2 points 3 points Not sure
Reception scoring is separate because it changes the value of volume. Each rushing and receiving row keeps the yardage rate beside the points awarded at that rate.
Starting RBs 1 2 3
Starting WRs 1 2 3 4
Starting TEs 0 1 2
Flex spots 0 1 2 3
Rushing bonus at No bonus 100 yards 150 yards 200 yards Not sure
Rushing bonus points 0 3 points 5 points Not sure
Receiving bonus at No bonus 100 yards 150 yards 200 yards Not sure
Receiving bonus points 0 3 points 5 points Not sure
Kicker scoring Standard distance bands Custom distance/miss values No kicker Not sure
Defense/ST scoring Standard D/ST categories Custom points/yards allowed No D/ST Not sure
Custom kicker details — these are the values that can make long-leg kickers more useful or make misses especially costly.
Custom D/ST details — add the key values if your league changes the usual defense scoring.
Most leagues only need the main settings above. If your platform shows unusual scoring, choose Custom and add a screenshot or note later.
Any important special scoring? None of these 6 points per passing TD Yardage bonuses TE premium Points per first down Custom / I’m not sure
Draft date
Draft & keepers Your draft slot changes the turns we highlight. Keeper information changes who is actually available.
Do you know your draft position? Your draft position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
How many players can each team keep? 1 2 3 4+ Not sure
Other managers’ keepers, if known These players are treated as unavailable named keepers. If owners are known, you can add that in the notes.
If your draft position is not known, your keeper stays attached to your customer profile while other named keepers can be listed at the top of the projected draft order.
Third-round reversal No Yes Not sure Most normal snake drafts do not use this.
Your draft style This is where the board starts sounding like advice for you instead of advice for everyone.
How should we balance safety and upside? This is your risk preference, not a command to reach. High upside means we’ll give more weight to players with league-winning ceilings when the draft value is reasonable. It does not mean reaching wildly for any player with a big projection.
How much fantasy football experience do you have? This is my first league I play, but I keep prep pretty light I know the game and want a sharper plan Not sure
What matters most to you? Reliable weekly starters Maximum upside Balanced roster construction Positional advantages Finding sleepers Avoiding busts
Drafting QB early Happy to take an elite QB Only if value falls Prefer waiting No preference
Elite tight ends Will pay up for one Only if value falls Prefer waiting No preference
Players you especially want or want to avoid
What should the cheat sheet emphasize? Knowing who to pick when I’m on the clock Avoiding players too early Running out of RBs or WRs Finding late-round sleepers Knowing when to draft K/DEF
