What TOT Means For Defensive Players
You may also see TOT next to defensive players in a box score. There, it means total tackles, which combines solo and assisted tackles.
Positions Where You Will See TOT Most
Most players score in only one way, so they do not need a combined total. Two positions are more likely to.
Quarterback
Quarterbacks can throw and run with the football, sometimes scoring both ways in the same game. A total is a quick way to sum up their day.
Just remember that a total does not show the full fantasy picture. Many leagues give fewer points for passing touchdowns than rushing touchdowns, so two quarterbacks with the same total can score differently.
Wide Receiver
Receivers mostly score by catching passes, but many offenses also give them carries. If a receiver scores both ways, TOT shows how many times he reached the end zone.
