What is Fantasy Football?

  • Players build a virtual team of real-life NFL players
  • Team’s success is based on players’ actual performance with points awarded for touchdowns, yards, and other achievements
  • Each week, managers set their lineup and compete against other teams in the league, and the team with the highest total points wins the week

ffverse
