Learn what options Sleeper offers

Written by Sleeper HQ

At Sleeper, we have a ton of custom scoring options available for your leagues. You can set the point values to your liking and for all kinds of stat categories and rare plays.

Below, I'll walk through each category and what we offer for each:


Passing

  • Core Passing Stats

    • Passing Yards (1 point for every __ yards)

    • Passing TD

    • Passing 1st Down

    • 2-Pt Conversion
      ​

  • Negative Plays - Mistakes & sacks

    • Pass Intercepted

    • Pick 6 Thrown

    • QB Sacked
      ​

  • Bonuses - Big play rewards

    • 40+ Yard Completion Bonus

    • 40+ Yard TD Bonus

    • 50+ Yard Pass TD Bonus
      ​

  • Efficiency - Accuracy & volume

    • Pass Completed

    • Incomplete Pass

    • Pass Attempts

The Pass Intercepted, Incomplete Pass, and Pick 6 Thrown options will all stack.

So if your QB throws a Pick 6, they would lose points for all three of those categories.


Rushing

  • Core Rushing Stats

    • Rushing Yards (1 point for every __ yards)

      ​

  • Position PPR - Reception bonuses by position

Note that the Yard Reception Bonus do NOT stack. So a player who made a 35-yard catch can only be credited with one of those points values. Any of them will stack with the TD bonus, though.

Bonus

  • Yardage Milestones - Game yardage bonuses

    • 100-199 Yard Rushing Game

The yard ranges are strict and do not stack. If a player has 198 rushing yards and then has a 5-yard carry, they will lose any point value for the 100-199 yard range, and then gain the point value for the 200+ Yard range.

Not for the Combined Rush + Rec Yards, it's possible for one of those total to be zero. A player is eligible for that bonus if he has 150 rushing yards and zero receiving yards.
