Every sport has its particular scoring. For more information on other sports, check out the MISC section on our rules page.
Cumulative projections: Any projection joined by the plus (+) symbol means that that pick is a combination of those stats. 'Rushing yards + Receiving yards' for example is the combination of both stats.
Any stats, yards, or TDs accrued on Special teams will not count towards any pick'em pick (unless the pick is a Special Teams specific projection).
Game High markets are resulted on the player that totals the most of the listed statistic in the game, across both teams. If multiple players tie for the top total, they will all be graded as the high scorers.
“Fewer” markets are resulted based on NFL.com statistics. The selected player must have less of the listed statistic for a selection to be a winner.
Kicking Points: Points scored from successful kicks. 3 points for a FG Made, 1 point for an XP Made. (XPs do not count towards the FG Made projection.)
Total Fumbles: Per the NFL Guide for Statisticians, “a fumble is an act (other than pass or kick) that results in a player’s loss of possession of the ball or his failure to handle a ball which has been properly centered to him.” A player will be credited with a fumble if it is recovered by his team, the other team, or goes out of bounds.
Fumbles Lost: A player will be credited with a Fumble Lost when he fumbles the ball and it is subsequently recovered by the opposing team.
