In fantasy football, you are able to create a custom league with friends, family or co-workers; or join in a public league or even a league that someone else has already created. You can also continue your own league from the previous season. With any of the leagues you could either “buy in” which can cost any amount of money, to play in the league or you could participate in a free league. You can also have more than one league, but there can only be one “leader” or person that is the head of that league.

Fantasy football allows you to “draft” players in the following six categories; quarterbacks, wide receivers, running backs, kickers, tide ends, and defense. Every week you choose the player that you want and you will set a roster or start sheet for who you will want to start in those areas. For defense, you pick a teams’ actual defense and this is the only category that you do not choose an actual player.
