Can anyone explain fantasy football in 50 words or less?

I don't want to bore the lounge. I just don't understand how it works. Anyone?

1. How about just one?

Dungeons and Dragons for the jock crowd... :hide: (Hey, I still play both)

I pick multiple players from multiple teams from across the league. Each player scores points for me depending on how well he does in the real life game. The quarterback on my team throws three touchdowns-- I get x points/touchdown. The running back runs for three touch downs, I get x points/touchdown. At the end of the weekend, after everyone's players have played their real life games, we tally up and see whose players scored the most points and there you have it-- the winner for the week.

Egads! I admitted that I play D&D & FF! Geek alert!

4. You create teams of the NFL players

using a draft and trades. Then your play other teams each week. Your team scores points, by how the NFL players do that week. So if your QB scores 3 touch downs you get say 10 points. The team usually has a quarterback, running back, wide receivers and tight ends. They usually have a team defense, where points are scored for interceptions and limiting the other team's yardage and points. So you add up the points for both teams, and the one with the most points is the winner.
