Fantasy Football
What's The Deal?
Fantasy football is a game where serious football fans can draft their own teams and use the regular games to try to end up with the winning team.
There are many fantasy football leagues because you can create your own with a group of friends.
You pay a registration fee and choose players from all of the NFL teams. The fantasy football season starts with a draft. You and your friends get together and each person takes a turn choosing a player for his/her team. The ratings for each player are based on how well he did last season and the object of the game is to have all the best players on your team.
You don't have to watch every single football game during the year to accumulate all your players' points. The league provides you with all the stats on your team throughout the season and adds them up for you. The site you use for your league has several features to help you keep track of how your players are doing, such as the list of injured players and the weekly review of the games.
