NFL Scoring NFL scoring on DraftKings is very similar to other sites in the industry, with the major difference being a full point per reception scoring system. This means if a player makes a catch, they get one fantasy points. Possession receivers have more of an advantage here, and cheaper running backs and wideouts can be more of use. When setting your offensive, you’ll want to note the difference in reception points — which are worth twice as much at DraftKings. In addition, 3 bonus points are awarded for high performance games for passing, receiving and rushing. Receptions: 1 point at DraftKings, 0.50 points at FanDuel.
In a standard league, the eight players on a team's active roster earn points based on the statistics they generate in actual NFL games. These fantasy points are added together for a weekly team score. Statistics from bench players do NOT earn fantasy points. The winner of an fantasy football game is the team with more points earned for the week (two weeks for playoff games). In the event that both you and your opponent accumulate the same number of points, a tie will be awarded. No playoff game can end in a tie (see the Playoffs page for more information).
