Draft
Owners must manage a team of 12 players throughout the playoffs to accumulate the most league points.
Owners will initially complete their roster by selecting one player from each team that qualified for the playoffs. In the
second round as teams are eliminated from the playoffs, owners can have as many as two players from the same team on their
roster. After the second round of playoffs, owners can have as many as 5 players from the same team on their roster. As teams
are eliminated from the playoffs, owners are allowed to restock their roster within the following guidelines: 4 changes
after week 1; 2 changes after week 2; 2 changes after week 3.
3. Roster Requirements
Maximum of 12 players at all
times. No more than one player per NFL team in the first round and no more than two players per NFL team in the second round.
After the second round of playoffs, owners can have as many as 5 players from the same team on their roster.
4. Starting Lineup Requirements
- 2 Quarterbacks
- 4 Running Backs
- 4 Receivers (includes Tight Ends)
- 1 Kicker
- 1 Team Defense/Specials Team
5.
Scoring
PASSING
- .05 points for every yard passing (works out to 1 point every 20 yards).
- 6 points for every passing touchdown
- minus 1 point
for every interception and lost fumble
RUSHING
- .10 points for every yard rushing (works out to 1 point every 10 yards).
- 6 points for every rushing TD
- minus 1 point for every lost fumble
- 6 points for
a recovered offensive fumble for a touchdown (RB, QB, WR, TE)
RECEIVING
- .10 points for every yard receiving (works out to 1 point every 10 yards).
- 6 points for every receiving TD
- 1 point for every
reception for WRs, Tight Ends and QBs
- 0.5 points for every
reception for RBs
- minus 1 point for every lost fumble
KICKING
- 1
point for every extra point
- 3 points for every field goal
from 1-30 yards
- 3 points for every field goal plus .10 points
for every yard after 30 yards (i.e. a 47-yard field goal would be worth 4.7 points)
DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS
- 1 point for every sack
- 2 points for every interception or opponents' fumble recovery
- 6 points for every touchdown (interception return, defensive fumble return, punt or kickoff return, blocked field
goal return, blocked punt return). All special teams and defensive points are awarded to the team responsible, not the individual
player. Should a kicker, punter or field goal holder throw a pass off a fake attempt, however, the offensive output for that
offensive play would go towards the individual player, not the specials team. Also, any lost fumble or "muff" on
a specials team play does not result in negative points for that individual player.
- 2 points for every safety
- 12 points for a shutout
by the entire team
- 8 points for allowing 2-7 points by the
entire team
- 4 points for allowing 8-12 points by the entire
team
- 2 points for allowing 13-17 points by the entire team
6. Free Agent Acquisitions
After week one of
the playoffs, you can pick up new players to fill out your playoff roster. In the second round as teams are eliminated from
the playoffs, owners can have as many as two players from the same team on their roster. After the second round of playoffs,
owners can have as many as 5 players from the same team on their roster. Transactions are limited each week. 4 changes after
week 1; 2 changes after week 2; 2 changes after week 3.
7.
Bonus Multipliers
Each week during the contest, fantasy points are multiplied by the number of weeks each player
has been on your roster. So if you pick Peyton Manning to be one of your starting QBs in the first week of the playoffs, you
would earn his points from week one. If the Colts won that wild card game, his points in the second round of playoffs would
be multiplied by two. If the Colts advanced to the AFC Championship Game, his points would be multiplied by three and then
by four if the Colts reached the Super Bowl. Any team that receives a first-round bye, automatically has their points multiplied
by two during their first game. Once one of your players are eliminated from the playoffs, you can pick up a new player for
that upcoming round, but the multiplier would begin at one because you just added him to your roster.
8.
Roster Time Frame
All rosters must be finalized five minutes before that weekend's first playoff
game. No lineup changes will be allowed after that first kickoff.
