Scoring
A plain explanation of why our league doesn't play like everyone else's.
What this means for strategy
Standard leagues pay 1 point per 25 passing yards and 1 point per 10 receiving yards. NCFB pays half that rate on both — meaning much lower yardage points across the board — but every passing, rushing, and receiving TD still pays a full 6, and it's full PPR. Net effect: touchdowns and catch volume matter far more than big plays or gaudy yardage totals. A boom-bust deep threat is worth less here than a high-target-share possession receiver with the same "standard" fantasy output.
Milestone bonuses reward true workhorses — a running back who piles up 220 combined rushing yards banks separately-stacking bonuses at 100, 150, and 200 that a committee back splitting the same total across two players never sees.
Interceptions and lost fumbles both cost double the standard penalty, and missed kicks cost real points too — efficient, low-turnover play is worth more here than boom-bust upside.
Defense has real range — a shutout is worth 15, a 35-point implosion costs −4, and sacks pay double. The whole points-allowed ladder sits above standard too: holding an offense to a field goal pays 9 where most leagues pay 7, and under 21 still pays 3. A defense's weekly matchup matters more here than "start your DEF and forget it."
Return work is worth real points and most leagues ignore it — 1 per 30 yards with bonuses that climb to +7, plus a full 6 for the touchdown. A returner buried on a depth chart can still pay off a late-round flyer.
