Some Negatives of the New Scoring Rule

I'll try to remember to bring this to everyone's attention closer to the start of 2016, but now that we've adopted new scoring rules which award points for every yard passing, rushing and receiving, it's good to keep in mind these negatives as well.  Here are a couple of questions I sent off to ESPN, along with answers:

If an RB rushes for -6 yards (say), will his total be recorded as -0.3 points, or 0 points?

Anthony L replies: In the situation you provided, the RB would have -.3 points

If my QB is sacked for an 8-yard loss, does that deduct 0.4 points from my score?  Or does it count as a passing play, so rushing totals are not affected?

Ryne S replies: Any time a quarterback is sacked it will count as negative rushing yards. For example if you quarterback is sacked for -8 yards you would get -.4 points for this play.

Thank you for attending this edition of ESPN answers your scoring questions.
