Fantasy football depends on the offensiveness and the defense of the actual team in the league. To score the highest points each week, month or season, you must understand how NFL offensive rankings affect your tally. This will enable you balance a team between its ability to attack and how that will be countered by their opponents.

The ultimate measure of the strength of any team is its ability to score. To rank high, the team, must learn to score more goals. The only factor that can dilute the ratings of a high scorer is a weak defense. When compared to another high scoring team, their goal difference will be used to separate the two. It therefore calls for a high scoring team that is also good at defending.

Yard per play indicates the portion claimed by each team during play. Regular winners score higher on this end compared to losers. This is because the winners score more points, first down and eventual wins. Regular losers have fewer first downs and thus a lower score. This struggle with first downs and wins affects the ranking of a team.

A higher First Down does not always indicate wins or more possession. It should be noted that in 2012, the Cardinals were ranked position twenty seven but started with 3-0 first downs. They are however important in determining ranking and eventual strength of a team. They also combine with Rush Attempts to determine the position of a team.

Yards Per Rush earn betters and fantasy players more points. They are a perfect indication of quality play which is rewarded through ranking. Do not rush into conclusion about the Yards Per Rush. Some teams could turn the tables and post better results as the season grows older.

Passing Attempts determine whether a team will win or loose. Attacking teams make more attempts and have a higher chance of winning. The attempts are therefore an indication of strength and potential. Defenders, however, slow down the advances of attacking players. It is therefore important to find a perfect balance.

Time of Possession indicates the number of times a team remained with the ball. For a team to score and win, it must retain the ball for the longest time possible. A longer period also indicates strength. In some cases, the other team may be better in defense and holding the ball. This is likely to offset an offensive team. A combination of both traits is desired.

Turnovers will make an average team great and an excellent team out of a good one. It indicates the number of offenses and how these offenses are used to their advantage. This may reflect strategy and individual skills by the players. Penalties aid in ranking teams based on which team takes the most penalties and whether these penalties are broken by the opponents or not. The factors will assist you in determining the team that is likely to win you more cash when betting.
