Not reported

  • Two-point conversions
  • Offensive return touchdowns
  • DST points-allowed tiers, so FanDuel DST points can't be worked out
  • Yardage bonuses. FanDuel's 2024 and 2025 articles describe them, a comparison updated Oct 6, 2026 says FanDuel has none, and we found no 2026 FanDuel page.
