How Can I Start Getting Into Fantasy Football, And Football In General?

Well, most of my friends are in Fantasy Football Leagues and they always are watching the football games. I never have any idea what they are talking about when they talk about the points and stuff.Is there any way I can start to get into the whole Football thing, and make a Fantasy Football league of just me versus some computer guys so I can learn how to do it for next year? Can someone just give me a brief rundown of how fantasy football works and how I can get into Football and Fantasy Football Leagues please?

Answer:Basically, you own a team and draft NFL players for various positions (QB,WR,RB,TE,Defense,Kicker). Once you have your roster, you pick and choose who you want to start and bench for that particular week. Once your roster is set, you wait and see how each of your players did. Points come from Rushing,passing,and receiving yards and touchdowns for offense. Kickers get points for FG's made and extra points made. Some leagues give bonus points for distance. Defense can be either a team or player depending on your league. you get points for points allowed,sacks,interceptions,touchdowns etc. Basically go to the point section of your league to get the detaisl on points. To join a league talk to your friends and ask them who is starting the league. You can also look for public leagues on here, people are always looking for players. good luck!

What Exactly Is Fantasy Football And How Does It Work?

My husband is doing that fantasy football thing and I would like to know what it is and how it works. Thanks!

Answer:Hi, In fantasy football you're basically in charge of managing a "fantasy" football team. You're given a team and have to choose the best players from the NFL to fill the spots on your team. Each week you trade/add players to your team depending on how other players do and who the players team is playing. Each team in his fantasy league does this and according to how each individual player does, he get's points for how they've performed (eg, Touchdown 6pts, rushing 100 yards 10 pts...etc etc). Some people gamble some don't. It's VERY addicting! As his wife it's a good way to free up your Sundays and Monday nights to go shopping with his money while he watches football. :D Hope this helped.

Who Should I Start In Fantasy Football, Willis McGahee Or Edgerin James This Week In The Playoffs?

Our fantasy football league has our playoffs during the football playoffs. I need to start one of these guys. I know that neither is a good option, but want some advice to see what others think.

Answer:McGahee willk get way more carries then james even though james has more upside mcGahee is the safer pick

What Fantasy Football Website Is Best For A Lot Of Teams And Offline Draft?

I am looking for a website that offers Fantasy Football for about 15-20 teams. Also, we were planning on doing the offline draft. Thanks for all your help.

Answer:Yahoo is very good and I also heard that fleaflicker.com was just as good. Just stay away from Fox Sports. Had it last year and they screwed up every week.
