ZenSports uses a point system to keep track of how players in a lineup for a DFS contest perform. Based on players accomplishing certain results within a game, such as scoring a touchdown or intercepting a pass, points are then awarded to that player. Points are automatically calculated as the games for a contest progress. The more points that a player earns, the higher the score will be for that contestant’s particular entry. The more overall points that a contestant has from their lineup, the higher the place that he/she will be in (both during the contest and at the conclusion of it).
NFL Point calculations are based on the scoring guide below:
