How to play

A new fantasy team every Tuesday. Open seven packs, pick your lineup, beat your rival that week.

The idea

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: 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, a peek, or extra rerolls.

Your week

Last week is final and coins are paid. Seven new packs arrive, sealed. The auction opens.

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, new packs. Repeat.

Packs & rarity

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.

Locks

  • 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.
  • 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.

Hate all three? Get three new players of the same rarity, never a repeat, as long as nobody in the pack has kicked off.

first one each week is free, then doubling

Peek · sealed pack

See one random card without opening. The pack stays sealed, so it still counts for the auction. That card is face-up when you open.

Upgrade · sealed pack

Bump a pack up one rarity and redeal it at the higher level. Stays sealed.

Coins

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.

The auction

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.
  • A bid names the spot he'd fill (RB, WR, FLEX…).
  • Opens Tuesday morning, closes 12 hours before the week's first kickoff — Wednesday morning in a normal week.
  • At most 2 buys per team per week.
  • Win, and the player fills that spot; your pack for it goes away. He's pulled from everyone else's sealed packs — yours for the week.
The one rule to remember: you can only bid for a spot whose pack you haven't opened. Open your RB pack and see who's inside? You've given up the RB auction this week. The app asks before you open a pack while the auction is on. Bid and lose? Open the pack Wednesday like everyone else. Every Tuesday you're choosing, spot by spot: the mystery of the pack, or paying for a sure thing.

Matchups & standings

  • One opponent a week, round-robin, everyone plays everyone.
  • Scores update live while games are on.
  • 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.
  • The Tape is the league feed: big pulls, every pick, auto-picks, rerolls, peeks, purchases, upgrades, finals. If someone left 40 on the bench, it's on the tape.

Playoffs

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.
