A tool used to estimate a quarterback’s potential performance in fantasy football, quantified in a numerical score based on predetermined scoring rules. These rules typically assign points for passing yards, touchdowns, and rushing statistics while deducting points for interceptions and fumbles. For example, a quarterback might earn 1 point for every 25 passing yards, 4 points for each passing touchdown, -2 points for each interception, and so on. The sum of these values represents the final fantasy point total.
The ability to project quarterback output offers a significant advantage in managing a fantasy football team. Accurately forecasting player performance assists in making informed decisions regarding player selection in drafts, setting weekly lineups, and executing trades. Historically, manually calculating projected fantasy points was a time-consuming process. These tools automate the process, providing quick and relatively accurate estimations, enabling efficient team management and strategic decision-making.
