AntSports Performance 2 Scoring System includes TDs and yardage. This scoring system favors NFL players who score TDs. This is not a yardage heavy scoring system. QBs in this system do not score as many points as QBs in other systems.

All NFL players use the following scoring system. There is not a separate system for QBs or RB :

1 point per 25 yards rushing (1-25 yards = 1 pt, 26-50 yards = 2 pts)
1 point per 25 yards receiving
1 point per 50 yards passing (1-50 yards = 1 pt, 51-100 yards = 2 pts)

6 points for each rushing TD
6 points for each receiving TD
3 points for each passing TD

2 points for each rushing extra point
2 points for each receiving extra point
1 point  for each passing extra point

-1 points for each INT

Since the scoring system applies to all players, that means if (1998) Brad Johnson throws a TD pass to himself, he gets 3 points for a passing TD, 6 points for a receiving TD, for a total of 9 points for one play. Not bad! If a PK threw a TD pass on a fake FG, the PK would be awarded 4 points for a passing TD and whatever yardage points he got on the play.

PK scoring :

Extra Point     : 1 point
FGs <  50 yards : 3 points
FGs >= 50 yards : 5 points (51 yard FG = 5 points). 

Kicking an extra point : 1 point

DT/Special Team Scoring :

DT/ST TD = 6 points
Safety   = 2 points
INT      = 1 point
Fumble   = 1 point
                     
Defensive
Points Allowed  Points
--------------  -----
Shutout           7
 1 -  9           5
10 - 19           3
20 - 29           1
  30+             0

Defensive Points Allowed is the amount of points your NFL team (DT) gives up that week. Example, your DT is Jacksonville. If Jacksonville plays Bears and the Bears can only score 6 points, using the table above, your DT (Jacksonville) would earn 5 points for Defensive Points Allowed. Clarification : It's the points that the opposing teams scores, not just the points the DT allows. If Bears scored their only points on a INT returned for a TD, those points still count as points allowed. So, when choosing a DT/Special team, you really must take into account the entire NFL Team (offesive and defense). The reason I count points against this way is during the offseason, you can go to NFL.com and easily look up Points allowed.

Any points your player scores, your player gets. That means if Jenkins, MarTay WR ARI runs back a kickoff for a TD, not only does the Arizona DT/Special Team get credit for a TD, but also Jenkins the WR get 6 points for a TD also.

Note: If the offensive is on the field, they turn the ball over, and the offensive tackles a defending player in the endzone for a safety, 2 points are awarded to the offensive player that tackled the player for a safety. This happened, Sea vs Oak (2000). Seattle had the ball and SEA RB Watters fumbled and the ball bounced fast towards the Oakland endzone. An OAK CB and a SEA WR raced towards the ball. The OAK CB picked up the ball on the 2 yardline. His momentum carried him into the endzone, where the SEA WR tackled him. Scoring a safety for SEA and 2 fantasy points for the SEA WR.

Clarification for Fake FG and Fake Punts : Fake FGs and Fake Punts are consider offensive plays and not special teams plays. The D/ST can score points 1) when the defensive is on the field, 2) when the kickoff return team is on the field, and 3) when the punt return team is on the field. (12/24/01)

Defination : A fumble is defined as a fumble recovered from the opposing team. Just forcing a fumble doesn't count. The Defensive/Special Team must recover it (to count as a fumble at AntSports, it must be a turnover). A muffed punt or kickoff that is recovered by the kicking team counts as a special teams fumble recovery. A blocked punt or kick current does not score any points, but I will consider it for the 2004 season.
