In a nutshell, you draft players, and based on how they perform in real life, you rack up points, whoever has the most points wins.

yeah, why don’t you ask your husband?

but it goes like this:
1. you set up a team.
2. pick some of the best players to be on your team (which you sometimes won’t be able to do.)
3. play your team vs. the other persons team
4. and hope that your players have a good game so that you can rack up as many points as possible.

you pick players for your team and you get poitns based on there preformace, such as 5 points for a touchdown pass and like -2 points for an interception or fumble

Hi,
In fantasy football you’re basically in charge of managing a “fantasy” football team.
You’re given a team and have to choose the best players from the NFL to fill the spots on your team. Each week you trade/add players to your team depending on how other players do and who the players team is playing. Each team in his fantasy league does this and according to how each individual player does, he get’s points for how they’ve performed (eg, Touchdown 6pts, rushing 100 yards 10 pts…etc etc). Some people gamble some don’t. It’s VERY addicting!
As his wife it’s a good way to free up your Sundays and Monday nights to go shopping with his money while he watches football.

Hope this helped.
