Players who contribute points to your team


Description

Who will score points for your team.


Resolution

You receive scoring for all players in your active lineup, including the Utility position, regardless of where they appear in actual games. Once earned, fantasy points and scoring are not removed even if the player is moved to the bench, waived, or traded to another team.

Bench players will not receive stats that count in your score. The purpose of the bench is to allow roster flexibility when players are injured, not scheduled to play, or are performing poorly. We keep track of their stats, which you can find located on your team page.

Players picked up from free agency/trades/waivers only counts in your stats going forward from the time you add them to your roster. You do not inherit those points/stats that the player earned while a member of another team, nor do you lose the points/stats accrued by a player while he was on your team if you later drop or trade him.

Head-to-head leagues

Your matchup screen always displays the current lineup for both teams. Stats can be displayed for bench players if they were active earlier in the week and later moved to a bench position. Since the stats were accumulated when the player was active, they're added to the matchup totals.

If you drop a player in the middle of a weekly matchup and they were active on your team during the week, their stats also will appear on the matchup page, with "--" listed as their position.

Rotisserie and Points leagues

The Team Log allows you to view the statistics contributed by all members of your team throughout the season when they occupied active roster spots, even if the player has been traded or released from your roster.

To access this tool, select Team Log from your team page. You will be able to view the Team Log for your team as well as the statistics accrued by the other teams in your league. 

 Here is a video that will further explain how scoring works.  This video features Fantasy Football; scoring for other fantasy sports differs slightly.
