Fantasy Football Ranking

A team owner's fantasy football ranking is compiled on a weekly basis, based on the on-field performance of his roster. Scoring usually tracks offensive categories, but defensive aspects of the game are sometimes also factored into a fantasy football player's ranking. A typical scoring breakdown deals with the players that score and engineer points--quarterbacks, tight ends, running backs, wide receivers and kickers.

Determining Fantasy Football Rankings

A sports player earns points by making things happen for his team on the field. Quarterbacks earn points for yardage and touchdown passes. Receivers help their owner's ranking by catching passes, especially for touchdowns. Defense can be taken into account on a team-by-team basis, with players selecting their choice of clubs and earning points tied to the number of points scored against the team. The fewer points the team allows, the more points the fantasy football owner scores, and the more his ranking improves.

However, miscues can cost an online fantasy football owner points as well. Quarterbacks get negative points for throwing interceptions. Place kickers can cost their owners by missing on field-goal attempts. As a point of strategy, it's often advisable to consider quarterbacks who are known for passing accuracy and kickers who show consistency above all else.
