[Missouri-l] Fantasy Football

[Denny Huff, (MCB - A Great Place To Be)]

Please reply to Josh with your questions.

 

Hello,

 

I realize not everyone knows exactly how fantasy football works, so
hopefully this helps. A fantasy football league usually consists of

10-12 players, but the more the better. Each person in the league picks a
name for their team and selects NFL players for their team.

All the members of the league agree on a day where they come together for
the draft. This is when each fantasy team owner picks the NFL players he or
she wants for her team. There are several different ways the draft can be
carried out. We can discuss what will work best for our group once we know
how many people are playing. The draft order is usually determined randomly
to keep it fair. Obviously, the sooner you pick, the better opportunity you
have for getting a better player. You want to pick the players who will
score the most points for your team.

The number of points your fantasy players score is determined by how well
they perform during their actual NFL games. For example, let's say you have
Peyton Manning, the quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts, on your fantasy
team. If he throws four touchdown passes against his opponents , let's say
Houston, that's 24 points for your fantasy team. You would also receive
additional points for the number of yards he passes for during each game.
Let's say in the same game Manning passes for 300 yards. This would usually
get you another 15 points for your fantasy team. Conversely, when bad things
happen, your team loses points. If Manning gets sacked, loses a fumble, and
thows an interception, something like six points would be deducted from his
fantasy score. These same principles apply to every position on your fantasy
team. Your team must have a quarterback, two running backs, three wide
receivers, a tight end, a field goal kicker, and a defense.

The better your players do statistically, the better your fantasy team does.

 

We can use a website to host our fantasy league, or I can run the league for
us. We can discuss what would work best later on.

 

I know this is a lot of information at once, I promise it sounds more
confusing than it is. If you have further questions regarding fantasy league
rules or football terminology, don't hesitate to contact me.
