What are PF and PA in fantasy football?

PF (Points For) is the total points your team has scored, and PA (Points Against) is the total your opponents have scored against you.

PF and PA (Points For / Points Against)

PF measures how strong your lineup has been, while PA measures how tough your opponents' weekly scores have been — together they reveal how much of your record is skill versus luck.

Many leagues use PF as the tiebreaker for playoff seeding precisely because it reflects roster strength better than record alone.
