basically on draft day you draft players for key offensive positions such as QB, HB, WR and you draft a whole teams defense. Then you start the players you want before the real regular season football games start. So if you have the Bucs defense started and they get 2 INTs and hold the other team to 7 points in their real game that week you get so many fantasy points. Same thing for every position. If you have Vick and he rush's for 200 and throws 300 and 2 TDs you get a butt load of points. Then your team is put up against a different team from your league each week and whoever has the most points wins that game. Whoever has the best record at the end of the season goes to playoffs and etc. Hope I havent confused anyone.
