Fantasy Football: A league based on the actual statistics of NFL players. Each team is assembled through an auction or a draft, with the objective to outscore your opponent each week. Leagues can use either basic scoring, or custom scoring where touchdowns, field goals and extra points (and sometimes, yardage, safeties, etc.) are given point values. Teams often play head-to-head with the league's best teams advancing to the playoffs and ultimately the league championship.
