All points scored by the other team count against the defense.

The big difference in this system lies in the defenses. Two primary things:

  1. Defensive TDs only earn 3 points
  2. Fantasy Points allowed cost you points faster than other comperable leagues
Look for defenses that get lots of takeaways and sacks while keeping the score low. yardage allowed doesn't matter.

ESPN Traditional:

Just take the performance system and remove anything with zero or negative point value from the list above. That is:
  • Interceptions Thrown
  • Fumbles Lost
  • Missed Field Goals and
  • More than 17 Points Allowed
