Fantasy football is played online. A league is formed, usually having 10 - 12 teams. There is a draft, where each team drafts players from the NFL to be on their team for each position. In my league we must draft 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 3 wide recievers, 1 tight end, 1 kicker, 1 defense, and 5 extra players for any position. Some leagues differ, making you draft coaches or specific defensive positions. During the NFL season, the players that you drafted get points earned or deducted depending on what they do in real life games. They usually get points for yards and touchdowns. Lose points for turnovers. If your defense causes a turnover, then you get points for those as well. The points that all of your team has earned are tallied up against whichever fantasy team you are playing that week, deciding a winner. Hope that info helped!
