What exactly is fantasy football? You pick “skill position players,” like quarterbacks, running backs or wide receivers, on different NFL teams to make your own individual all-star team. Each player on your team is awarded points based on how well he plays in each game, and if your players get more points than the other teams’ players, then you win that week’s game.

What do you get out of it? Fantasy football is a fun way to be competitive with your friends. Every week you have a chance to talk some smack about who has the best team that week.

Do you need to know everything about football to play? You definitely don’t need to know everything about football to be successful. We have two first-time players in the Beijing league, and both of them are in the playoff hunt. A competitive spirit and paying attention are far more important to being good at fantasy football.

How can we join? The NFL regular season is almost over for the year, but we are organizing a fantasy game for the NFL playoffs. The winner will get over ¥1,000 in gift vouchers, and all proceeds go to CAI’s charity for children of migrant families.

What’s your ultimate football fantasy? Well, setting aside my childhood dreams of actually playing football in the NFL, my football fantasy would be to be at the Super Bowl to watch my beloved Kansas City Chiefs play.
