So you've been thinking about playing a little fantasy football, but the only sleepers you know about come from the furniture store? No problem. The little bit of information that follows will have you offering intelligent fantasy football analysis to your friends at the water cooler in no time.
So, what exactly is it?
Fantasy football makes a game out of predicting how NFL players will perform. You choose players for your team based on these predictions. The person most successful at this (most likely thanks to a combination of skill and luck) wins. The information on this page can help with the skill part. You're on your own in the luck department.
What kinds are there?
First of all, there are draft leagues and auction leagues. Draft leagues determine an order in which teams pick players. Auctions are a more complex but also fairer way of choosing players, where anyone can have any player as long as they are the highest bidder.
Fantasy football also varies in length. Some leagues last one season, while others go on indefinitely. The long-term leagues may allow you to keep some players from one year to the next.
How do I get started?
Sign up to play at one of the links under the "play fantasy football" section on the left of this page. Or you can join a friend's league or search the internet for other leagues. Soak up all the knowledge you can from sites like this one and experienced fantasy football players you know.
