Predicting touchdowns can be difficult, but red zone production and usage is a great way to make informed decisions as we embark on yet another fantasy football season.
As a league the NFL amassed a total of 1,286 offensive touchdowns in 2018. That number was up considerably from the 1,113 in 2017, and while passing scores increased by 106, rushing touchdowns saw a higher percentage increase (15.5%) than passing (14.3%).
The jump in fantasy production is even greater as ball-carriers and pass-catchers racked up 2,634 standard points (six points per touchdown), while passers threw for 3,388 points (four points per touchdown).
