Your Guide to All-22 in 2023
Getting Started with All-22
Thank you for signing up to play All-22! We're excited to bring you the most detailed and realistic fantasy football game in existence. This new fantasy football experience is jam-packed with features and strategic components to truly make our subscribers feel like they're building a deep roster of talented football players. This document includes everything you'll need to develop your roster-building strategy in the All-22 fantasy football format.
SCORING
The All-22 Scoring Formula:
PFF Weekly Grade X Positional Value = Points
PFF Weekly Grade
The players on your roster will be graded on every snap of every game. On a 0-100 scale, each player’s PFF grade will reflect the quality of their play. Most would agree, the performance of your QB and that of a LB, have very different impacts on the outcome of the game. Therefore, it wouldn’t be fair to score them on the same scale. To address this, we’ve implemented a positional weight multiplier.
Positional Weights
As mentioned above, different positions have very different impacts on the outcome of the game - that’s why the best QBs get paid much more than the best LBs. The example in Exhibit 1 demonstrates how All-22 uses positional earnings to develop positional weights.
The 2023 positional earnings and weights for each position used in All-22 are listed below.
Scoring Example
For a LB with a weekly PFF score of 88.2, his performance would plug into our formula as follows:
88.2 (Grade) x 4.26% (Weight) = 3.76 (Points)
We implement this formula for every offensive and defensive player in your starting lineup, add them up, and get your team’s total score. Each week, your team’s total score will be a 0-100 score (similar to a team-wide PFF Grade) that is measured against your opponent’s, to see who will claim victory.
Personnel Packages & Formations
Unlike any other platform, All-22 allows you to choose a formation/personnel package to match the strengths of your team. If you feel like you’re stacked at receiver - great - go with 11 personnel and start 3 of them. If you’re a little thin at LB this week - no problem - run a 3-4 or Nickel and take a LB off of the field. Regardless of formation, positional weights will not change and will always total 100%. This is just another layer of strategy and customization built into All-22.
Be mindful, that switching a formation on the My Team page will automatically adjust your starting lineup based on your depth chart. Depending on the formation, you’ll either have an additional WR, RB, or TE on Offense or an additional DI, LB, or CB on Defense. Your final starting lineup must include both an Offensive and Defensive formation so that you can be ready to compete. Below are your choices:
Offense
11 = 3 WRs
12 = 2 TEs
21 = 2 RBs
Defense
3-4 = 3 DIs
4-3 = 3 LBs
Nickel = 3 CBs
Depth Chart
As stated previously, the Depth Chart represents your squad’s starting lineup, based on the formations you’ve chosen. In addition, and of equal importance, the Depth Chart also represents who your backups are and how much depth you have at each position. On a weekly basis, you’ll want to consider each player’s matchup and previous performances to potentially adjust your Depth Chart. This is about you spotting talent and making sure you can identify a favorable matchup. As you’ll learn below, the introduction of auto-sub in All-22 means; the teams with the strongest depth charts, have the best possible chance to win.
Auto-Sub & Snap Minimums
Here’s where your depth is tested. As the person in charge, you’ll need to decide who should be the next man up at every position. If any of your starters get hurt or benched early in the game, you won’t be forced to play with 10 guys - that’s not real football. Instead, the next man up will be called into action, just like the pros.
Auto-sub is made possible through pre-set snap count minimums. For each position in your starting lineup, a minimum snap count must be reached in order for a player's grade to qualify. If the minimum is not reached by the end of your player’s game, All-22 will substitute the next player from your depth chart automatically. The snap count minimums for each position are listed below.
Roster
You’ve got a lot of positions to fill and depth to build. This game was designed to test your ability to spot talent on the field and build a roster capable of sustained success. In the seasons following your inaugural 53-round draft, you’ll continue to build your roster through rookie drafts, free agency and trades. At no point, during the regular season, may your roster exceed 53 players. If your roster is over the limit at the start of the game week (Thursday at 8PM) your team will face an automatic disqualification and earn a loss for the week. We don’t want this to happen to any team, so we’ve implemented warnings throughout the platform to avoid this issue.
Position Minimums
When drafting, your team must fulfill the minimum requirements for each position.
Offense
QB: 2
RB: 3
WR: 5
TE: 3
T: 4
G: 4
C: 2
K: 1
Defense
S: 4
CB: 4
LB: 4
ED: 4
DI: 4
P: 1
League Standings
Want to know where you stand? Head to the League Home page to find the League Standings. On this page, you will see where you rank against your competition. You will be ranked in order of the following results:
Overall Record
Divisional Record
Total Points
Regardless of how many teams there are in your league, there are two divisions and only 3 teams from each division will be awarded a playoff spot. Depending upon the size of your league, you may have up to 9 divisional games each season! These divisional games are how rivalries are born. After 13 weeks, if you find that you’re tied with your divisional competition in both the overall and divisional record, All-22 will rank you by the total number of points that your team has scored throughout the season. Who doesn’t love a shootout?
Draft Rankings
The All-22 draft rankings were developed with many data points in consideration; Player Age, Positional Importance, YoY Playing Time, Projected Playing Time, Grade Progression/Regression, Grade Projection, Draft Round, Draft Year, and more. These rankings are generated to reflect where each player may be drafted if the entire league put every player back into a draft pool and started over. If you’ve ever participated in a Madden Franchise Draft, this will be very similar.
Free Agency
Waiver Period
You may bid on free agents for the upcoming weekend after Tuesday at 5 AM ET. Your bids will be processed every Wednesday at 8 AM ET. Remaining free agents will be added on a first-come, first-served basis after waivers are processed.
Blind Bidding
Each team will be given 300 blind bid dollars at the start of each season, to be spent on free agents. At the end of the season, any remaining blind bid dollars will not carry over into the next season. In the event that your team and another team bid the same amount on a particular free agent player, the player will be awarded to the first team to place the bid.
Matchup
Scoring Algorithm
As mentioned above, the score for each player in your starting lineup is determined by the following formula:
PFF Weekly Grade x Positional Weight = Points
Grade Release
Grades will be released as they become available through PFF. Following gameday, All-22 will continuously request these from the PFF data feeds, to ensure the grades are available as soon as possible.
Follow the All-22 Twitter page (@All22_PFF) for grade release announcements and game updates.
Stat Corrections
All-22 will check for stat corrections every Tuesday at 2pm ET. At 2pm ET, the results of the weekend’s games will be finalized and league records and standings will be updated accordingly. It is possible that PFF shows a slightly different grade (usually well within a point) for a given player in a given week. This would mean that the grade was adjusted after the previously mentioned correction check and will not be reflected in All-22.
Total Score
Each week your win or loss will be determined by your Total Score. Your Total Score for each week is simply the sum of each player’s Points in your starting lineup.
Trades
Trade Processing
Trades are processed immediately after they are accepted, assuming none of the players involved in the trade have started their game for the week. If a trade does involve a player whose game has already started, the trade will be processed on the following Tuesday. Check your “League Settings” page to confirm the Trade Deadline in your league.
Trading For Draft Picks
All leagues in All-22 are intended to be dynasty leagues. You may trade future draft picks up to 4 years into the future. The draft order will be set after the season, in a last place to first place order. Draft pick trading is disabled in all startup drafts.
IR PRocess
When a player gains IR status in the real-life NFL injury report, that player is automatically moved to the Injured Reserve section of your roster and does not count toward your 53-man roster. Users may choose to move players with this tag out of IR and back onto the Active Roster if it's believed the player will be ready by the start of their game. In this instance, the IR player will count towards the user's 53-man roster. If a player's IR tag is removed after Tuesday at 2PM ET, the user will be given until the following Tuesday to manually promote the player to the active roster before the system does so automatically.
Settings
Your team settings may be changed at any time. You may change your logo, team colors, team name, etc. The league settings may be viewed but only edited by the commissioner of your league. If your commissioner is unresponsive, please email info@all-22.com to consider replacement.
