Fantasy Football Points Allowed 2025-26

Whether you're in a season-long fantasy football league or playing daily fantasy sports, you should keep an eye on fantasy points allowed. Every defense has its own strengths and weaknesses, which can translate to how many fantasy points will be allowed. This page from Lineups ranks each defense in terms of fantasy points allowed. The tabs on this page let you compare scoring from the main fantasy football sites. You can also flip through scoring and see the overall number of fantasy points on a per-game basis. The page's weekly slider lets you narrow down specific weeks or the entire season. The numbers on this page reflect how many fantasy points defenses allow over the course of a season.

How To Read The Fantasy Points Allowed Page

The tabs on this Fantasy Football Points Allowed page let you sort all the stats with ease. This lets you easily check the numbers for a specific scoring format or fantasy site. It's vital to have the correct information entered in, as stats can vary greatly between different sites and scoring formats. If you're looking for stats from a specific time, such as the second half of the season or from weeks eight through twelve, the weekly slider can help get the information you're looking for.

The defensive rating on the left part of the table is one of the key aspects of this page. These unique Lineups ratings are based on various stats to show the talent level of a team's defense. It's important to know that these ratings are based on basic stats rather than fantasy points allowed.

Moving from left to right, the table shows each position with a number underneath, showing how many fantasy points are allowed to that position. The rank will show you how successful that defense has been when it comes to allowing fantasy points in comparison to the rest of the league.

Why Sample Size Matters

The NFL has a relatively short regular season when compared to other major sports. Currently, there are 17 games scheduled throughout the NFL regular season. Meanwhile, both the NHL and NBA seasons, meanwhile, last for 82 games each year. And the MLB regular season spans a whopping 162 games. Statistically, a full season of stats in the NFL might not give as complete of a screenshot as in other leagues.

Additionally, plenty of outside factors can shift the stats for a player's performace in a single NFL season. Did the offensive line play well that year? How many starters missed time due to injury? Did the team play a difficult schedule? How did the defense perform? Answering these questions can give the whole story behind a season-long performance.

Even the year-to-year numbers don’t always accurately represent potential fantasy performance. Offseason moved such as trades, free agent signings, and picking players in the NFL Draft can have a major ripple effect. And changes in coaching staff can be instrumental in both individual and team performances.

Overall, it's best to understand why a certain amount of fantasy points were allowed on a given week. The stats will vary greatly throughout the year, especially early in the season. An underperforming defense can tighten things up in the second half of the season after some adjustments or a coaching change. Injuries and scheduling can also result in some statistical variance.

Defensive Performances and Fantasy Points

It's essential to analyze defensive performances when you're planning out a fantasy football strategy. Sometimes, defenses allow more points due to poor coaching or a lack of talent on the field. For example, a team's secondary can struggle, allowing quarterbacks, tight ends, and wide receivers to record more fantasy points. Meanwhile, a defense that's strong against the run will limit fantasy production from runing backs.

Offensive play styles also factors into defenses allowing fantasy production. A defense that sees a lot of opposing volume through the air is going to equal more fantasy points to the passing positions. Defenses that are on less talented teams might see more running back volume against them because opposing offenses are playing ahead and running the ball at a higher volume.

There are a number of ways that defenses can allow fantasy points. For example, a defense might allow a lot of fantasy points to running backs, but it is key to figure out if that's on the ground or through the air. Additionally, a defense might give up more receptions or yards to wide receivers, but not as many touchdowns. It's important to dig a little deeper into the numbers when it comes to fantasy points.

How Scoring Formats Dictate Fantasy Points Allowed Rankings

Scoring formats are going to be a major factor in DFS. For example, certain formats reward more points for each reception. A defense that allows a lot of receptions to running backs is going to rank much differently in PPR leagues in comparison to standard formats. On DraftKings, once a 100-yard mark is hit, the user gets a bonus. The same goes for 300+ yards for passing. These types of fantasy bonuses can be crucial. Teams that allow more yardage and touchdowns are going to rank high across the board, but in standard leagues, those are the two most important scoring categories.

Lineups has plenty of great tools for daily fantasy sports fans. And this Fantasy Points Allowed page is a great way to keep up on not just which teams are allowing the most and least fantasy points, but which positions are most effective against each team. The information is simple to sort, meaning fantasy sports fans can easily find the specific stat they're searching for.

Daily fantasy sports apps has become available in a wide variety of different areas in the U.S. iGaming sites, on the other hand, aren't available in that many states across the country. However, online casinos are extremely popular in the states where they've launched. For example, no shortage of bettors have signed up for Pennsylvania Pennsylvania online casinos.
