Do you create an imaginary team of dudes from different pro/college teams and somehow get stats from those individual players' performances in totally unrelated games?

You pick real players for your team and get points based in how they do in real life in various stats, if your guys get more points than the other teams guys, you win that week.

And its a regular season with playoffs and a championship.

I think so. They also have it for other sports. Like 20 years ago my brother won a tournament in fantasy basketball. I think he got a trophy and a cash prize or something

You draft a team of NFL players, usually a QB, one or two RB, 3 to 5 WR, a TE, a K and a D.

Say you take Tom Brady as your QB. He throws for 250 yards and 2 TD 1 interception. If yards are worth a point per 10 yards, you get 25 points. If a TD is worth 6 points, you get 12 points. The interception is negative 3 points. Tom Brady earned you 39 points for the week.

It goes the same for all players, and all the points add up at the end. Say you finish with 189 points. The person you are facing finishes with 161. You win the week, your record is 1 win 0 losses.

Its based on the single weekly game the players you have on your team's performance, and the points apply accordingly.

A lot of people play for money. You all but in at the start and whoever wins the tournament gets the pot. Im currently in on with 12 people. We each paid 20 bucks to buy in. Whoever comes in first place gets it all.

Watch "The League" >_> I actually don't know much about fantasy football or football in general, but it is very educational and very entertaining.

Yeah I play in pay NFL, NHL and MLB leagues each year. Last year I made $1200 winning one league and being 2nd place in another. I only paid out $150 to play.
