OK GUYS! WHAT Is FANTASY FOOTBALL?

Question

I don't get it. Please give me lot's of details!!!! Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You get a certain amount of people in a league. You draft real players in the NFL. You have to draft a certain amount off people at each postion. And every week you play someone different from the your league. What ever the people you drafted on your team do in thier real NFL games goes towards your fantasy team. (Say you have QB Tom Brady, he throws 3 touchdowns in a game. Your fantasy team gets three touchdown passes). Each position has differnt categories. (EX. rushing TD's, Receving TD's, Passing TD's, Rushing yards, etc. For each category your team gets a certain amount of points.  You put up the points your fantasy team got vs you opponents and who ever has the most points wins.  

Answer 2

Fantasy football is were you and other "players" are in a "league" and you all pick NFL players to make yourselfs a team that will score the most TDs, Yards ect ect.

Heres something from Wikipedia

Fantasy football is a fantasy sports game in which participants (called "owners") are arranged into a league. The person who creates the league is called the commissioner, and that person invites other owners into his/her league. Each team drafts or acquires via auction a team of real-life American football players and then scores points based on those players' statistical on-the-field performances. A typical fantasy league will employ players from a single football league, such as the NFL or an NCAA division. Leagues can be arranged in which the winner is the team with the most total points at the end of the season, or in a head-to-head format (which mirrors the actual NFL) in which each team plays against a single opponent each week. At the end of the year, win-loss records determine league rankings or qualification into a playoff bracket. Most leagues set aside the last weeks of the regular season for their own playoffs. Three major fantasy football sport providers are CBS, ESPN, and Yahoo!.
