Fantasy football was created in 1962 by Bill Winkenbach the part owner of the Oakland Raiders football team.

This all started with him meeting with all his friends in a hotel in New York City. The league members would ¨draft¨ the actual league National Football and American Football League, which was a rival professional football organization that merged with the NFL in 1970.

In fantasy football players going up against each other would accumulate points. The way this works is the football league consists of 10 to 12 players with teams of 10 to 16 spots and a starting line up of a quarterback, one or 2 running backs, two wide receivers, a tight end, a flex player, kicker, and lastly, the defense.

After the draft has ended teams can now make adjustments to their teams and also make trades with other teams, and claiming a player of the waiver wire which means a player that has not been chosen by any team. The team whose players put up the most fantasy points will win. The teams with the best record will make it to the playoffs, meaning the teams with the top two records will get a bye week while the other four teams have to play too advance in week 15.

Finally two teams will advance to week 16, the fantasy championship, and whoever wins that is the league champion.
