Apex Fantasy Leagues Use PPR Scoring
Points-per-reception or PPR is the scoring format that all Apex leagues use. In PPR leagues, a full point is awarded for every reception tallied by a player.
Starting Lineups
Apex leagues currently host three different lineup types, all featuring PPR scoring. Our most popular format is the Original.
Original
Each Original starting lineup contains 10 players:
1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 K, 1 DEF
Deep
Each Deep starting lineup contains 11 players:
1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 K, 1 DEF
Superflex
Each Superflex starting lineup contains 11 players:
1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 K, 1 DEF (Can start QB at 1 Flex)
Dynamic
Each Dynamic starting lineup contains 9 players:
1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex (RB/WR/TE)
Dynamic Superflex
Each Dynamic Superflex starting lineup contains 10 players:
1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 3 Flex (RB/WR/TE), (Can start QB at 1 Flex)
Dynamite
Each Dynamite starting lineup will contain 9 players, including a Superflex:
1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex (RB/WR/TE), (Can start QB at 1 Flex)
Flexible
Each Flexible starting lineup contains 10 players:
1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1 K, 1 DEF
In most formats, the ‘Flex’ position is qualified by any eligible running back, wide receiver, or tight end. In Superflex, the ‘Flex’ position is qualified by any eligible quarterback, running back, wide receiver, or tight end. Bench spots will depend on the league type.
Owners can change their starting lineup up until each player’s kickoff time. Once a game has started, the players involved in that game are locked into their positions.

Special teams touchdowns include punt or kickoff return, blocked field goal return, and blocked punt return touchdowns. Individual players who score a touchdown on Special Teams will also receive 6 points for their fantasy team. Only the opposing team’s offensive and special teams points count against the team defense.
*As a reminder and as outlined above, only Team Defenses can receive defensive stats such as sacks, interceptions, fumble recoveries, and interception/defensive fumble return touchdowns. Players like Travis Hunter who are listed as a WR (an individual offensive position) can only receive the stats detailed on the “Offensive Scoring…” table.
