How is DraftKings scoring different from FanDuel scoring?

In the NFL, a reception is 1 point on DraftKings and 0.5 on FanDuel, and a fumble lost is -1 and -2. In the NBA, FanDuel pays 3 for a steal or a block and DraftKings pays 2, with a double-double bonus. In the NHL, FanDuel pays more for goals and assists, and DraftKings pays bonuses.

NFL

The two sites score every other NFL stat the same: 1 point per 25 passing yards, 4 for a passing TD, 1 per 10 rushing or receiving yards, 6 for a rushing or receiving TD, and 3 for 300 passing yards or 100 rushing or receiving yards. So a pass catcher with many catches gains more on DraftKings.

NBA

College basketball on DraftKings scores as the NBA. FanDuel's college scoring pays 2 for a steal or a block.
