What is Fantasy Football?
Fantasy Football is a game where you can create

owners such as yourself based on your teams
statistics from week to week.

Starting Fantasy Football
Here are the ways to start your own league.

• Find some friends to play with you.

• Develop a schedule for the whole season.
• Develop a scoring system to score your weekly
  play.

Draft Method
The easiest way to create a draft is to simply
draw numbers out of a hat and determine the draft
order. Of course the number one pick is the
best. Then simply pick players to fill the
positions of the roster.

Finding statistics to the players is simple. A
couple of websites below will show every
statistic to fill in your numbers for your
players. NFL.com ESPN.com

Cheat Sheets
Cheat sheets are real handy and are made up by
football experts. Cheat sheets list the players
you should draft first and so on. Many cheat
sheets are available on the Internet. There are
also cheat sheets in football magazines. Cheat
sheets can help a great deal because the draft is
the most important part of fantasy football.
