How are regular-season ties broken in the standings?

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more players finish with the same overall record, the following system is used to break the tie:

  1. Overall winning percentage.
  2. Fantasy points scored.
  3. Fantasy points scored in Week 17.
  4. Fantasy points scored in Week 16.
  5. Fantasy points scored in Week 15.
  6. Fantasy points scored in Week 14.
  7. Fantasy points scored in Week 13.
  8. Fantasy points scored in Week 12.
  9. Fantasy points scored in Week 11.
  10. Fantasy points scored in Week 10.
  11. Fantasy points scored in Week 9.
  12. Fantasy points scored in Week 8.
  13. Fantasy points scored in Week 7.
  14. Fantasy points scored in Week 6.
  15. Fantasy points scored in Week 5.
  16. Fantasy points scored in Week 4.
  17. Fantasy points scored in Week 3.
  18. Fantasy points scored in Week 2.
  19. Fantasy points scored in Week 1.

In the event that a playoff game ends in a tie, the deadlock is broken using the following system:

  1. Most touchdowns scored by entire starting roster.
  2. Most fantasy points by starting quarterback(s).
  3. Most fantasy points by starting defensive team(s).
  4. Most fantasy points by starting defensive player(s).
  5. Most fantasy points by starting defensive back(s).
  6. Most fantasy points by starting defensive linemen.
  7. Most fantasy points by starting wide receiver(s).
  8. Most fantasy points by starting running back(s).
  9. Most fantasy points by starting tight end(s).
  10. Most fantasy points by starting kicker(s).

Notes:

  • When breaking a tie in a playoff game, the only statistics used are from that specific game.
  • All touchdowns scored by the team (passing, rushing, receiving, and defensive) are counted in the playoff tiebreaker.
  • For any end-of-season ties, the final week of your league's regular season are the first week used to break the deadlock.
  • For any tie where a weekly point total comes into play, only those weeks where all teams involved in the tie received fantasy points are considered.
