How to play

A new fantasy team every Tuesday. There's no draft, no roster to manage, no waiver wire. Every week you get seven packs of player cards, build a brand-new lineup from what you pull, and play one head-to-head matchup. Next Tuesday it all starts over. You can never fall out of it.

1. Tuesday: last week's starters go up for auction. Wednesday: seven packs show up, three players each. Open a pack, pick one to start.
2. That's your lineup: QB, two RBs, three WRs, and a FLEX.
3. Players lock when their games kick off. Until then, change your mind all you want.
4. You play one opponent. Most points wins. Standings are by record.
5. Good picks earn coins. Coins buy a player at Tuesday's auction, an upgrade, or extra rerolls.

Tuesday AM

Last week is final and coins are paid. The auction opens: every player anyone started last week is on the block.

Wednesday

Bids close at 11am ET. If you won a player, he's in your lineup. Seven packs drop right after, dealt around every sale — a bought player is in no one else's pack. Open them whenever you like; Thursday-night cards lock Thursday night.

Thu – Mon

Games. Each player locks at his own kickoff. Scores update live. Watch your matchup.

Tuesday AM

Result is final. Standings update, coins land, the Recap hands out the week's awards, the next auction opens. Repeat.

Seven spots: QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, FLEX (FLEX takes an RB, WR or TE). One pack per spot, three players who play that position in each. Tap a sealed pack, flip the cards, tap the one you want.

Every pack has a rarity: Legendary, Epic, Rare, Common. A Legendary pack holds three of the best players at that position this week; a Common pack holds three you'd normally bench.

Everyone gets the same mix every week: 1 Legendary, 2 Epic, 3 Rare, 1 Common — shuffled across your seven spots at random. The luck isn't whether you get a Legendary; it's which spot it lands on and which three stars are inside.

Rarity is decided fresh each week from that week's projections, position by position:

• Never in a pack: players on bye, or listed Out, IR, PUP, Doubtful or Suspended. Questionable players are fair game.
• You never see the same player twice in your own packs.
• A player is dealt to at most 3 teams in the league in a week. Packs are dealt for everyone at once in a random order, so opening order never matters.

• Change your pick in any pack as often as you like — until the player you picked kicks off. Then it's final.
• Each card locks at its own kickoff. A Thursday-night card is off the table Thursday night; you can still choose between the two Sunday cards.
• Forgot to pick? No zeros. When one option is left he starts for you; if the last ones kick off together, the highest projection does. Auto-picks are marked: they score and earn coins like any starter, but the right-pick bonus is for calls you made.
• Starter ruled out before his game? Switch to another card, or the app swaps in the best one still available. Hurt during the game is just football.
• Ruled out — or a game-day scratch — with nothing left to swap to? If your starter is scratched and the other cards in that pack have already played, you don't take a zero: the pack scores as the lowest of the cards that played, capped at your starter's projection. Something, but not hindsight — their scores are already known, so the best one would be a free look-back, and a scratch should never pay more than the slot was expected to. Marked as a bench floor; it earns coins like any auto-pick. A “Questionable” who turns out to be inactive counts too: once his game is over with no snaps, he's treated as ruled out.

Earned on Sunday, spent on Tuesday. They never expire during the season.

A typical week earns around 100–150. One catch: a player you bought at the auction earns you no coins. He wins you the game, not the bank — that's what keeps the leader from running away with it.

Every Tuesday, every player anyone in the league started last week goes up for sale. Spend coins to buy one for a spot in this week's lineup — or trust the pack.

• Sealed bids. Bid a number, nobody sees it, highest wins and pays what they bid. Losers keep their coins.
• Minimum bid 10. Ties go to the worse record.
• Going rate. Every winning bid is public after the close, and while bidding each player shows what similar ones sold for in this league before — a price anchor, not a live high bid.
• A bid names the spot he'd fill (RB, WR, FLEX…).
• Opens Tuesday morning, closes Wednesday 11am ET (earlier only if the week's first game is unusually early — the app shows the exact time).
• Bid on as many players as you like. When bids close, the biggest bids settle first; you can win at most 1 and only one per spot, and a win is skipped if you can't cover it. Two bids for the same spot means the smaller one is a backup.
• Win, and the player fills that spot as a locked Bought card; you get packs for the other six. He's in no one else's pack — yours for the week.

Full PPR. Nothing exotic.

• One opponent a week, round-robin, everyone plays everyone.
• Scores update live while games are on, with each player's quarter, clock, game score and box-score line. A win-probability bar reads the projected margin against how much football is left.
• Swipe (or tap the chips) to see every other matchup in the league. Your head-to-head record with that opponent sits under the names.
• Once a pack locks, both benches show — you see what your opponent left on the table, and they see yours.
• Standings by record, then points for. Coins show alongside. Schedule lists every week's opponent and your projected playoff spot; Playoffs shows the bracket as it stands today.
• Tap any team anywhere for its page: record, lineup, hit rate, what they leave on the bench, season results, recent plays. Tap any player's name or the i on a card for stats, this week's projection, news and his game log.
• The Tape is the league feed: big pulls, every pick, auto-picks, rerolls, purchases, upgrades, finals. If someone left 40 on the bench, it's on the tape.
• Recap — every Tuesday: the week's awards (top score, blowout, nail-biter, bench king, sniper, pull of the week, big spender), each matchup's MVP and bench regret, and a share card for the group chat.
• Your result pops up the first time you open the league after a week goes final — score, coins, awards, anything you unlocked. Confetti if you won.
• Trophy case on every team page: achievements earned from real results (First blood, Century, King of the week, Heater, Ice cold, Upset, Sniper, Jackpot, Big spender, Bench regret, Champion). The champion gets the trophy.

• Injury watch on This week: any starter tagged Questionable, Doubtful or Out, with a one-tap swap to your best healthy card. Out before kickoff swaps automatically; Questionable is your call.
• Email when packs drop (with last week's result and awards), when you have unopened packs on a game day, the day before bids close, and when you win an auction. One switch on the League page turns it all off.
• Commissioner notes pin to the top of everyone's This week page.
• Add the site to your phone's home screen and it runs like an app.

For a 10-team league: regular season through week 14, then the top 6 make the playoffs, seeded by record then points. Week 15: seeds 3–6 play while the top two rest. Week 16: semifinals. Week 17: the final, plus a third-place game. Everyone else plays consolation matchups and keeps opening packs and earning coins. The champion is crowned when week 17 goes final.
