What is alt receiving yards?

Alt receiving yards, or alternative receiving yards, is a statistic used in fantasy football to calculate a player's receiving yards in a non-standard scoring system. In standard scoring formats, receiving yards are typically awarded one point for every 10 yards gained. However, in alt receiving yards scoring systems, different point values may be assigned for every 5, 15, or 20 yards gained.

Alt receiving yards can impact a player's fantasy value significantly, as certain players may benefit more from this scoring method than others. Fantasy owners should be aware of the alt receiving yards scoring system in their league and adjust their player rankings and draft strategies accordingly.
