Hi everyone, I submitted a ticket to football guys but I have not heard a resolution to this. Am I going crazy or am I the only one who sees that the projected fantasy points are not being calculated correctly?
Our league just has some very basic scoring rules. We have 0.10 points per yard rushing/receiving and 6 points per rushing/receiving touchdowns. No other bonuses and no penalties for fumbles. Nothing else. Just that.
In Draft Dominator Classic, Jonathan Taylor has projected 1585 yards rushing + 363 yards receiving which should be (1585 + 363) * 0.10 = 194.8 points. He also has 15 rushing TDs and 2 receiving TDs projected. That should be (15 + 2) * 6 = 102 points. So 194.8 + 102 = 296.8 total projected points. But Draft Dominator Classic is showing 279 fantasy points, a difference of 17.8 points lower than it should be. I know that there could be some potential rounding error, but not that much.
For rushing/receiving yards, it looks like it’s only calculating 90-94% of the true projected points. But to eliminate any rounding, I can test this by making modifications to the projection statistics and isolate statistics for only 1 category. For example,
There is also error in the Draft Dominator Web version. This morning, I downloaded the latest projections as of today, 8/19/2022. Using the same scoring system that was synched from our league, and using the 2022 FC (Footballguys Consensus) the estimated projection statistics match up - 1585 rushing yards, 363 receiving yards, 15.3 rushing TD, and 1.8 receiving TD. There is a very slight rounding error, but again, nothing to make up a huge number. But the Draft Dominator Web version projects 309.7 points for Jonathan Taylor which is actually 12.9 points HIGHER than what it should be. Overall, Draft Dominator Classic and Draft Dominator Web are showing a difference of 30.7 points.
Am I going crazy or are other people seeing the same calculation errors? I’ve been using Draft Dominator for almost 10 years and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever checked the calculations before. I have screenshots of all of the tests and scenarios, but it doesn't look like I can include them in my post. But happy to share if anyone is interested.

- If I “zero” out all projection statistics (rushing/receiving & TDs) for Jonathan Taylor, it does correctly list 0 fantasy points.
- If I ONLY list 100 rushing yards, it should be 100 * 0.10 = 10 points, but it lists 9 points.
- If I ONLY list 1000 rushing yards, it should be 1000 * 0.10 = 100 points, but it lists 94 points.
- If I ONLY list 10000 rushing yards, it should be 10000 * 0.10 = 1000 points, but it lists 936 points.
- If I zero out everything except enter 10 rushing touchdowns, it should be 10 * 6 = 60 points, but the app lists 56 points.
- If I only enter 100 rushing touchdowns, it should be 100 * 6 = 600 points, but it lists 562 points.
- If I only enter 1000 rushing touchdowns, it should be 1000 * 6 = 6,000 points, but it lists 5,618 points.
