Girls Who Draft: Fantasy Football 101

Описание: Fantasy Football 101: Everything You Need to Know Before the Season Comes Back

You don't need anyone to explain this to you slowly. You need someone to explain it once, correctly, without the bar-stool energy.

This is fantasy football from zero — what it actually is, who's on your team, how points happen, how the draft works, and what your week looks like once the season starts. Plus the three 2026 rule changes that actually move fantasy points around.

The NFL season kicks off *Wednesday, September 9* (Patriots at Seahawks), with the first real fantasy Sunday on **September 13**. Drafts are happening right now — so this is the moment.

*THE THREE THINGS PEOPLE GET WRONG*

1. You're not picking which teams win. You're collecting individual production.
2. A benched player scores you zero. Set your lineup before kickoff, every single week.
3. The waiver wire is where seasons get won — not the draft.
