Best Answer

Receiving yards in football are calculated by adding up the total number of yards gained by a player when catching passes from the quarterback during a game. Each time a player catches a pass, the number of yards gained from the spot of the catch to where the player is tackled or goes out of bounds is added to their total receiving yards.

How do you add points for fantasy football?

The points are determined based on the player's stats. For example in fantasy football, usually a touchdown is worth 6 points. Also for every 10 yards rushing or receiving, that is another point. For every 25 yards passing, that is 1 point. There are sometimes bonus points rewarded for high yardage totals, but all of this is determined by the commisioner and how they choose to have points calculated.
