To answer Pockets and Niki, fantasy football is an online game using NFL players and their weekly performance. You can start/join a league and before the season starts, there will be a draft. At that point, you can pick your key position players and your offensive/defensive lines and special teams. You are taking who you feel are the best players from any team. Once you have your team selected, you can pick which players you want to start each week. In most leagues, you can even trade players until the NFL trade deadline.
Now that you have your starting line up, you wait until the first week of football to finish up. All of your players are graded and get points according to touchdowns, completions, catches, running yards, tackles, and other important plays. Most leagues that I`ve heard of have you playing another team in your league. Whichever of those two teams score the most points off of the system described above, is declared the winner. The rest of the season repeats itself as the weeks go by.
It may seem relatively simple, but it`s quite the opposite. To succeed, you need to know as much about the teams and key players as you can. The more you know, the better edge you`ll have against the other teams in your league.
EDIT***It looks like I took a bit too long to type out that response. Nice answer Blueline.

I don`t think we will get money involved in our league atleast not this year. I believe that makes 5 including me so far.
We need 5-7 more. We will have to use the chat room to do our draft so I hope it works and doesn`t keep kicking people out.
So far we have;
1. me
2. CWCAD
3. audiboy
4. Stephan
5. Blueline 1
6.
7.
8.
9.

Is it something that is hard to to and do you have to know about football to do it (probably right)?? I dont get into those kinds of sports im more into the x sports (atv racing, dirt bike racing, snowboarding, bmx, etc...)
I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

I played fantasy football for the last 2 years. I walked into the draft as a favor to a friend who couldn`t make it. I had no idea what I was doing. Someone handed me a sheet with the players ranked by yahoo and I pretty much just picked the next available best player on the list. I came in second that first year. I won`t tell how I did last year.
Since I started it got addictive. Spent all day Sundays with the television on rooting for players instead of teams. I actually like it that way. Since Tampa dumped Dungy and Marino retired, I haven`t much cared for my local teams.
This statement is true for me also. I enjoy keeping up with the players and not the teams. I am a Cowboy fan, so maybe they`ll give me something to cheer about this year.Since I started it got addictive. Spent all day Sundays with the television on rooting for players instead of teams.

Ok, I am hooked now - I`m in if it doen`t bother you that I am a complete rookie.
