The formula

NFL: 0.04 × passing yards + 4 × passing TD − INT + yardage bonuses + rushing, receiving and return points. Captain total = base points × 1.5.

Worked example

300 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and one interception score 12 + 8 − 1 + 3 = 22. A Showdown Captain with the same line scores 33.

Scoring references

Reviewed November 6, 2026. NBA bonuses count points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. A triple-double earns both the 1.5-point double-double and three-point triple-double bonuses.
