You'll draft a team of pro football players and compete against other team owners for your league's championship. The game and its rules are designed to mimic pro football as much as possible, so you'll live the same thrills and disappointments that go along with a football season. And your goal is simple: build a complete football team, dominate the competition and win your league's championship.  \nWhy should you be playing Fantasy Football?  \nThe game is easy to learn and fun to play. You'll become more knowledgeable about football than ever before. It does not take a huge commitment to be competitive and requires only as much time as you'd like to invest. And you don't have to be a die-hard fan to enjoy playing. In fact, most people who are trying Fantasy Football for the first time are casual fans.  \nChapter 2 Team & League  \nTeam name: The first step to getting started is creating a name for your new team. This is how you and your team will be identified throughout the season so get creative and have a little fun.  \nJoin or create a league: Your competition will be made up of the other owners in your league. The number of teams in a Fantasy Football league can vary but should always bean even number. You can play with as few as six teams or have as many as 20, or more but the most common league size is 12 teams. You have the ability to choose who the other team owners will be so recruit friends, family, and co-workers to join your league. Or, [you can also join a league run by CBSSports.com](you can also join a league run by CBSSports.com).  \nTeam Rosters  \nWhile leagues differ in their roster sizes and limits, teams are typically allowed a set  \n[http://football.cbssports.com](http://football.cbssports.com)  \nnumber of players. The number of players allowed is usually more than the total number of starters, so teams can have reserve players as well. For example, your Fantasy Football team may be allowed to have 14 players on your roster, but only eight players can start each week. The other 6 are considered reserves on your roster but do not earn points for that particular week.  \nAdditionally, most Fantasy Football leagues use the \"team defensive\" concept. This means that individual defensive players are not drafted; rather, you will draft and earn points based on an NFL team's entire defensive/special teams unit.  \nPosition  \nQuarterback (QB) Running Back (RB) Wide Receiver (WR)  \nTight End (TE) Kicker (K)  \nDefensive Team (DST) All Positions ****  \nTYPICAL FANTASY FOOTBALL  \n*  \nStarting Lineup  \n1  \n2  \n3  \n1  \n1  \n1  \n9  \nROSTER  \n** Auto Draft  \n23421214  \nLive Draft***  \n1 or 2  \n2, 3, 4, or 5  \n3, 4, or 5  \n1 or 2  \n1 or 2  \n1 or 2  \n14  \nThe Fantasy Football Draft  \nYou and the other members of your league will take turns selecting from a pool of available players until all rosters are full.  \nThere are three draft options to choose from:  \n• Live offline draft – The most popular way to draft is to gather all league members together in one location and hold a draft party.  \n• Live online draft – If the members of your league are spread around the country, it’s probably not possible to get everyone together. If you’d still like to experience the thrill of drafting live, you can draft online. This is possible in every league on [CBSSports.com](CBSSports.com).  \n• Automated draft – This draft process is conducted by each team pre-ranking players in the order in which the owner would prefer they be drafted. Players are then assigned to teams based on each team’s draft rankings.  \nBasic Fantasy Football Scoring  \nEach week of the season, your squad will go head-to-head with another team in your league. The team that scores the most points will win that particular game.
