How are these fantasy football scoring leaders calculated?
Every player is ranked by the fantasy points he has actually scored so far this season, added up from his game-by-game box scores. Nothing here is a projection — a player only moves up this board by scoring points in a real game.
Why are quarterbacks on their own tab?
Quarterback scoring runs on a different scale to every other position. A point per 25 passing yards and four points a passing touchdown puts almost every starting QB above almost every running back and receiver, so a single combined list would read as every quarterback in the league followed by everyone else. The Overall tab covers running backs, receivers and tight ends; quarterbacks are ranked against each other.
What does WR1 or RB1 mean on this page?
It is the player's rank within his position on this board, so RB1 is the running back who has scored the most fantasy points this season. It is not a depth-chart label and does not mean he is his team's first-choice back.
Does the scoring format change the order?
Yes. Full PPR gives a point per reception, half-PPR gives half a point, and standard gives none, so pass-catching backs and high-volume slot receivers fall as you move down the formats. Every total on the page is recalculated when you switch, using each player's real reception count in each game.
Why does a player have fewer games than everyone else?
Byes, injuries, suspensions and late-season call-ups all leave a player with fewer games than the schedule has run. The G column shows how many games are in his total, and the AVG column next to it is there so you can judge a player who has missed time on the rate he has produced at.
What is the difference between this page and the pre-draft rankings?
This page is a record of what has already happened. The pre-draft board ranks players by what the betting market expects them to do, built from season-long sportsbook props, and is the one to use when you are drafting.
