Here’s more about fantasy football, how it works and how it got its start.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who’s on your fantasy team?<\/p>\n

Fantasy gridiron football was created by Bill Winkenbach, former part owner of the Oakland Raiders,<\/a> in 1962, according to Britannica.<\/p>\n

The businessman and sports enthusiast created the first fantasy football league with a group of friends in a New York City hotel.<\/p>\n

They called themselves the Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League (GOPPPL), the encyclopedia site continued.<\/p>\n

In 2022, over 62.5 million people joined and participated in a fantasy sports league in the U.S. and Canada \u2014 with 79% of those fantasy participants playing fantasy gridiron football, the Fantasy Sports and Gaming Association said online.<\/p>\n

A 2023 survey showed that 48% of the fantasy sports league is made up of individuals between the ages of 18-34, the site continued.<\/p>\n

Back in 1988, only 500,000 individuals took part in a fantasy league.<\/p>\n

The league didn’t hit one million participants until 1991, the fantasy organization stated.<\/p>\n

Stats show that 35% of fantasy league participants are women, the Fantasy Sports and Gaming Association reported.<\/p>\n

“The level of women playing was more than I expected to be, for sure. It still tilts male, but not nearly to the extent I thought it would,” Noah Brode, a senior content writer at CivicScience, shared with USBETS, a site that reports on U.S. gambling news.<\/p>\n

Female participants in the fantasy sport have gone viral on TikTok<\/a> \u2014 garnering millions of views after sharing their “draft secrets.”<\/p>\n

Over half of fantasy football players are men \u2014 making up 64% over the fantasy sports participants, the Fantasy Sports and Gaming Association shared online.<\/p>\n

The most fantasy points scored by one player in a single game goes to Clinton Portis in 2003, according to the Pro Football Network, a site that reports on NFL news, analysis around fantasy football the draft and more.<\/p>\n

During the game in week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> and the Denver Broncos, the running back accrued 55.4 fantasy points.<\/p>\n

“Portis scored two rushing touchdowns in the first half before putting the game away with three rushing scores in a 10-minute span across the third and fourth quarters,” the Pro Football Network reported.<\/p>\n

“He finished the game with 218 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, and 36 receiving yards.”<\/p>\n

When creating your team for fantasy football, you will end up with 16 players in total, including your bench.<\/p>\n

The nine players that make up the starting lineup are “one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, one flex player (RB\/WR\/TE), one kicker and one defense\/special teams,” ESPN stated online.<\/p>\n

The remaining seven players that you picked up during the draft<\/a> will remain on your bench.<\/p>\n

The default setting for public fantasy leagues lasts only 14 weeks in the regular season, according to the NFL.<\/p>\n

The playoffs will continue from week 15 to week 18.<\/p>\n

Yet not every team is able to make it to the playoffs \u2014 so choose your team wisely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
