We are playing with All-Purpose-Yards, thinking that it will actually track APY, but INT and Fumble Yards are missing. Where is the option to include that in the scoring system?
All-Purpose Yards are defined by the NFL as just Receiving+Rushing+Kick Returning + Punt Returning yards. It's just those 4 categories. There are no options currently to add other statistics and call it a new category such as APY+Passing or APY+INT and Fumble Yards like you're asking for. It's possible down the line we can look into adding these, but we don't have them now and won't for this season. Thanks.
Could you link me the definition please? Im just curious, as every definition i saw includes interception returns. It would be nice to have Interception return yards as an option, doesn't have to be included in APY. Int Yards show up on every game stat sheet and would give commissioners more options.
That's our mistake in not explaining it correctly. For fantasy purposes, we just consider all-purpose yards Receiving+Rushing+Returning (just punts and kickoffs).
You're correct that all-purpose yards includes interception yards and fumble yards (we don't support these for this season), but will look into it in the future.
However, you're correct the official NFL description would include interceptions and fumble return yards because the defender does turn into an "offensive player" once possession changes.
It's a little ambiguous. By the book, you're correct. By the way we currently score, it's not supported - but you bring up a good point and it's possible in the future.

You're correct that all-purpose yards includes interception yards and fumble yards (we don't support these for this season), but will look into it in the future.
For instance, you can see APY just lists Receiving + Rushing + Kick/Punt Returns here at pro football reference: pro-football-reference.com - Career leaders; pro-football-reference.com - season leaders
