Fantasy Football Round Dos

Due to popular demand I have returned to further explain the world of fantasy football. There are many ways to participate in fantasy football. There are some people who make their own leagues and point systems and go through a bunch of steps and thought processes in order to win for prize money but unlike those people I like to think that I have a life (and no income), so I use the online version. There are a couple of websites that offer fantasy football. Están nfl.com, yahoo.com and some others, all with their own point systems, but I use espn.com. Within espn.com there are a few different types of leagues or you can customize your own rules. You have the option of joining a public league, where you are randomly matched up with people you don't know, or ganging up with your buddies and rashin' on each other.  The standard rule system is that each player you have is awarded points for the amount of touchdowns and yards they have in their game. The two positions that don't follow this system are kickers and defenses. For kickers each kick they make gives them points, the farther the kick the more points. The defenses are given points for limiting the number of touchdowns the other team gets and different types of plays they do. For example, interceptions, fumbles, sacks, etcetera. After everyone has played the total points are added up and the team with the most wins that weeks matchup. Keep it fricky fricky fresh, the end.

  1. Could you give some examples of who's on your team and how many points each of your players racks up this week (for example)? That would help me get a better sense of how this works. How do you decide what players to pick? can you pick any players you want? can you make mid-season trades?
