Understanding PA in Fantasy Football
In the context of fantasy football, PA stands for Points Against.
This is a standard statistical category used in league standings and team summaries. It represents the cumulative total of points that have been scored by all of your opponents' teams against your fantasy team over a given period, typically the entire season to date.
- Calculation: PA is determined by adding up the scores achieved by each opposing team you have played against in your weekly matchups.
- Significance: It reflects how many points your team has allowed its opponents to score. While not a direct measure of your team's roster strength in the same way "Points For" (PF) is, it can sometimes be used in tie-breaking scenarios, depending on your league's specific rules. A lower PA means fewer points were scored against your team.
- Usage: You will typically see PA listed in your league's standings table, alongside other metrics like Points For (PF), wins, losses, and ties.
Essentially, PA provides a measure of the offensive output your team has faced from its opponents throughout the fantasy football season.
