How does a fantasy football league work?
You get together eight, ten, twelve, or even fourteen owners per league. Each owner is responsible for drafting their own team so you'll have a draft at the beginning of the season where you'll go through and pick your players. Each owner will be responsible for that team throughout the season, so there's a lot of activities to do during the season. You can pick up players or you can drop players every week in what's called a free agent or waiver process, and that can kind of tweak your roster. You can also make trades with other teams in the league. The fantasy football league is going to start when the NFL season starts, or a couple of weeks before when you do your draft. It will go all the way until just about the end of the NFL season. Towards the end of the NFL season, say week fourteen, fifteen or sixteen, that's when December is starting so that's when the fantasy playoffs are. And that's when all the best teams in your league will go into usually a single elimination tournament. They will play playoffs just like the NFL playoffs and the winner will be determined. Usually it's around week sixteen of the NFL season. That's pretty much how the fantasy football league is comprised. You'll keep track of all the events in your league, usually on a website where they can keep track of who's winning, who's losing and who comprises each roster and who's on each team.
