• Fantasy Football is a fantasy sports game based on statistical results generated by National Football League and/or college football players and teams. Leagues are organized with a set group of "owners" that compete in weekly head-to-head or cumulative points systems. Leagues hold a draft or auction before the start of the season to form rosters, and just like in real football, owners can make trades with other owners for players, and sign and waive players. The last few weeks of the season are generally used for playoffs to help determine the league champion.
