For kickers, all extra points are one point and all field goals are at least three points with an extra bonus point for field goals made over 40 yards and another bonus point for field goals made over 50 yards. Individual defensive players (linked to below, but notincluded in overall rankings) earn one point for each solo tackle , one point for each sack , two points for each interception and six points for each touchdown. Team defenses include special teams and are treated similarly for sacks, interceptions and touchdown returns, while a more complex system, based on the outcome of each individual game, is utilized for points allowed per game.Please note: These overall fantasy rankings are based on total points earned for the season. They do not account for position scarcity, number of owners drafting and their drafting styles, roster restrictions, custom league scoring rules or other items that should be considered while drafting.Want to know how the best players of today would do against the greats of all-time Find out using SimMatchup or build a team of the best ever and competeagainst others in the SimLeagues .Paul Bessire is the Product Manager of Content and Quantitative Analysis for WhatIfSports , a division of FOX Sports Interactive specializing in fantasy football simulation analysis and football sim games.
