How D/ST fantasy points work

1 per sack, 2 per interception or fumble recovery, 2 per safety or blocked kick, 6 per defensive or return touchdown, plus points allowed: 0 = 10, 1-6 = 7, 7-13 = 4, 14-20 = 1, 21-27 = 0, 28-34 = -1, 35+ = -4.

This is the reverse of the player matchup screens: instead of a defense against a position, it is every defense against this offense.
