What Is Fantasy Football?
It’s a game where you draft real NFL players to create your own dream team. Their real-life stats each week earn your team points. You compete against friends or other players each week.
Key Positions:
QB – Quarterback
RB – Running Back
WR – Wide Receiver
TE – Tight End
K – Kicker
DEF – Team Defense
Goal:
Score more points than your opponent each week and make it to the playoffs.
How It Works:
Join a League – Usually 8–12 people.
Draft Players – Pick your team (QB, RBs, WRs, etc.).
Set Lineups Weekly – Choose which players will “start.”
Earn Points – Based on real-life performance (yards, touchdowns, etc.).
Win or Lose – Your team faces another team each week.
Playoffs – Top teams make it to the postseason for a shot at the championship.
Scoring Example:
TD pass = 4 points
TD run = 6 points
10 rushing yards = 1 point
Missed FG = -1 (depends on league settings)
