What is a 'survivor' league?
A survivor fantasy football league is pretty much a league where there's usually going to be a lot of owners, like a national contest - it's just about the only one I know. You draft a team and a lot of teams in the fantasy football league can have the same player, indeed 50 teams can have Peyton Manning if they're all in this contest. Therefore it knocks out the weak teams and the weak owners every week. So it's possible that in week one the bottom 10% of the teams get kicked out and their season is over, so it kind of raises the stakes. It's not too fun if you're that team that gets knocked out in the first two weeks though, and during the season basically less and less teams have a chance to win. Until the end of the season, usually week 14 or 15, there's only a few fantasy football teams remaining. Maybe they'll have a playoff system or maybe they'll just keep knocking out teams. It's a fun way to do sort of one of these national contests. The Survivor fantasy football league might be a free entry, or it might be a really small entry and have a big cash prize for the winner.
