fantasy player

Drafts imaginary teams

A fantasy player is someone who participates in fantasy sports—games where participants assemble imaginary teams of real athletes and compete based on those players' actual statistical performance.

He's been a fantasy player for years, obsessing over his lineup every Sunday.

The term can also refer to the real athletes selected for these rosters: He picked up two fantasy players off waivers this week.
