Fantasy+ Football League: Rulebook

Welcome to Fantasy+ Football, where strategic drafting meets predictive prowess! Compete weekly and throughout the NFL regular season by building your ultimate roster and making insightful “more/less” predictions.

1. Game Overview

Fantasy+ Football is divided into two exciting divisions:
  • Fantasy Division: Draft a weekly roster of 11 NFL players and earn points based on their real-life performance. Compete for the highest fantasy point total.
  • Picks Division: Test your NFL knowledge by making up to 5 “more/less” predictions on player fantasy scores each week.
Scores in both divisions accumulate throughout the NFL regular season for overall season-long contests, with weekly winners also crowned.

3. Building Your Weekly Roster (Fantasy Division)

Each week, you’ll draft a new team of 11 players from pre-determined player pools for each position.

  • Kicker (K): 1 Slot
  • Defensive End (DE): 1 Slot

3.2. Player Pools:

  • Each position group (QB, RB, TE, K, DE) will have a pre-determined pool of eligible NFL players from which you can draft. These pools may vary slightly each week based on matchups, injuries, and other factors.
  • You can only select players from the designated pool for that specific position.

3.3. Drafting Your Team & Lineup Edits:

  • Navigate to the “My Team” section of the platform.
  • Select one player for each roster slot from the available player pools.
  • You can edit your lineup and fill open slots at any time before the scheduled start time of the individual player’s game.

4. Making Your Weekly Predictions (Picks Division)

In addition to drafting your team, you can make predictions on player performance.

4.1. Prediction Type:

  • For up to 5 individual NFL players each week, you’ll predict whether they will score MORE or LESS than their projected fantasy score.
  • Projected fantasy scores will be provided for eligible players within the “Team” or “Players” sections of the platform.

4.2. How to Make a Prediction:

  • Go to the “Team” or “Players” section.

  • Click on the arrows next to a player’s projected score to select “More” or “Less.”

  • You can make between 1 and 5 predictions each week.

4.3. Prediction Deadline:

  • All predictions for a given player must be submitted before that player’s real-life NFL game begins. Once a game kicks off, predictions involving players in that game are locked.

No players or winners are entitled to prizes. The tournament organizer may choose to award nominal prizes to winners or people who achieve certain score thresholds, at our discretion. Prizes will be nominal in value and may include, but are not limited to, discounts to sponsor stores, discounted subscriptions to sponsor services, or gift cards. Prizes will typically be communicated and distributed via SMS text message to the verifiable phone number used to create your account.

8. Important Reminders

  • Deadlines are Player-Specific: Pay close attention to individual player game times for lineup and prediction submissions.
  • Winner Determination: Weekly winners will be determined after all Monday Night Football games for that week conclude. Any scoring changes or stat corrections from our data provider made after this point will not impact the final contest results for that week.
  • Check Player News: Keep an eye on NFL news, injuries, and lineup changes to inform your drafts and predictions.
  • Fair Play: Engage in respectful competition and sportsmanship.
Good luck and may the best Fantasy+ player win!
