Have you ever wondered what TOT means in fantasy football? You’ll often see this acronym appearing in your fantasy football matchups, leaving many fantasy football managers puzzled.
It is typically used in fantasy football to display the total of touchdowns or tackles that a player has accumulated, regardless of whether they are passing, rushing, or receiving.
The stat may say 2 Ru TDs if a player has two rushing touchdowns. From this, you can tell that the touchdowns came from rushing since “Ru” is before the touchdown.
A passing touchdown or receiving touchdown should be noted as Pa TD for passing or Re TD for receiving.
Having multiple touchdowns in different categories can make it hard to display all the information on the screen.
A majority of fantasy football managers use their mobile devices to create their lineups and check their matchups. To fit everything on the screen, apps like Yahoo or ESPN use abbreviations.
There is usually not enough room to display all the statistics when a player has passing yards, rushing yards, passing touchdowns, and rushing touchdowns.
These apps use TOT acronyms to display how many touchdowns a player has thrown, caught, or rushed. This allows managers to get a quick overview of their players’ performance.
A breakdown of the stats by category can be found by clicking on the player’s name. The condensed statistics under the TOT category simply make it easier to check out your team.
In Dot Ball Defense, what does ROT Mean?
When looking at a box score, you may notice that many defensive players have a TOT statistic next to their name.
TOT stands for total tackles, which includes both solo and assisted tackles.
The TOT on defense displays the total number of tackles each player made.
Positions Which Often Need TOT Stats
Usually, positions in football score touchdowns only in one way, so they do not require the TOT category since their totals usually fall under passing, rushing, or receiving.
There are a few positions that tend to score touchdowns in multiple ways.
Quarter Back
Since quarterbacks throw and rush touchdowns, the TOT stat is often used for them.
In almost every game, quarterbacks throw touchdowns, but they can also rush them in as well.
It is common for quarterbacks to score several touchdowns throughout a game. Since some come via passing and others via rushing, it is not uncommon for their total touchdowns to be displayed.
When displaying total touchdowns for a quarterback, passing touchdowns are usually worth a different amount than rushing touchdowns, which makes the TOT stat a bit confusing.
Wide Receiver
In today’s NFL, wide receivers are not only known for catching the ball, but also carrying it.
These days, wide receivers often score rushing touchdowns as well as receiving touchdowns thanks to NFL trickery.
In this case, you might notice the TOT acronym beside the player’s name. Because rushing touchdowns and receiving touchdowns are abbreviated differently, the TOT tag indicates how many touchdowns the player has scored.
