fantasy football

Armchair quarterback league

Fantasy football is a game where participants assemble imaginary teams of real professional players and compete based on those players' actual statistical performance.

Managers draft players, set lineups, and make trades throughout the season: I can't watch the game normally anymore—I'm too focused on my fantasy football roster.

The game has become a major cultural phenomenon, driving sports media coverage and gambling markets.
