Home > Fantasy football (American)

Typically, a fantasy football league is established with 8 - 12 teams. With too many teams, there is a dilution of talent which makes success more dependent upon the luck of getting one special player, rather than the skill to assemble a roster of players that is better than competitors' rosters.

Most scoring depends upon the results of offensive players which are distributed through the league's rosters, typically through a draft. A common format for a roster is:

• 2 Quarterbacks (play 1)
• 3 Running backs (play 2)
• 5 Wide receivers (play 3)
• 1 Tight ends (play 1)
• 1 Placekicker (play 1)
• 2 Defenses (play 1)

(Individual Defense is an optional feature)

• 2 Defensive Linemen (play 1)
• 2 Defensive Backs (Play 1)
• 1 Defensive player of any kind (play one)

Players earn their team points based upon their results from their weekly games. A common scoring format is:

• 1 point for 20 passing yards
• 1 point for 10 rushing yards
• 1 point for 10 receiving yards
• 6 points for a touchdown (passing, rushing, or receiving)
• -2 points for every turnover committed

• 1 point for an extra point
• 1 point for every 10 yeards of distance for a made field goal

• 2 points for every sack
• 4 points for every turnover forced
• 3 points for each touchdown scored off a turnover

Some examples of successful fantasy football leagues include:

• Sandbox.com's fantasy football service
• Yahoo.com's fantasy football service
• Espn.com's fantasy football service

Fantasy football leagues have also been run for Association football.
