FAQ
General
What's the difference between Historical Challenge, Live Lobbies, and In-Season League?
Historical Challenge uses archived season stats and is ready to play now. Live Lobbies draft real, active NFL players for the current week - also ready to play now, one shot per lobby. In-Season League is a separate season-long mode with persistent membership and league standings — coming soon.
What is the FLEX position?
RB, WR, or TE - it's your choice! This gives you more options when building from random teams.
Can I shuffle to get a different team?
No. You cannot shuffle to get a different team.
Can the same team appear twice?
No. There are no repeats in each game.
Can a team have no player for my position?
No. Every random team includes a player at every roster position, so a draft never leaves a slot empty.
Do you use PPR scoring?
Yes! Full point PPR - every reception is worth 1 point.
How is defense (DST) score calculated?
1 pt per sack, 2 pts per interception, 2 pts per fumble recovery, 6 pts per defensive or special teams TD, and 2 pts per safety. Plus a points-allowed bonus: +10 for a shutout, +7 for 1-6 allowed, +4 for 7-13, +1 for 14-20, 0 for 21-27, and -1 per point allowed over 27.
What happens when I complete my roster?
See your final score! Your roster shows each player's fantasy points and your total.
Live Lobbies
What are Live Lobbies?
Live Lobbies draft real, active NFL players for the current week instead of historical stats. Sign in, pick a lobby (standard roster, or a novelty roster like Oops All WRs), and draft your 8 picks - one shot, no redraft. Then track your live score and worldwide rank on the lobby's game view as the real games play out.
Historical Games
What's the difference between Quick Start and Custom Game?
Quick Start jumps straight into a draft using the most recent season with every mode off - no setup required. Custom Game lets you pick your own season, set a team name, and turn on Fumble, Timed, or Whiplash mode before drafting the same 8-player roster.
What is the Daily Challenge?
One shared challenge generated every night at midnight ET: a random season plus a random mix of Fumble, Timed, and Whiplash mode. Everyone drafts the same ruleset, with one attempt per account (or per device if you're not signed in), then sees their score against the global and local leaderboards.
How do I play with friends?
Starting a Custom Game or Quick Start creates a private game with a share code — separate from the weekly Live Lobbies. Send the code to friends, or have them use Join Lobby, so everyone drafts under the same season and settings and can compare scores on the shared lobby page.
Are the stats from the entire season?
Yes! Full season stats including all regular season games for your selected year.
Does scoring include playoff games?
No. Point totals for every player and team defense only count regular season games - NFL playoff stats are never included in season totals.
Can I reset my challenge?
Yes, for Quick Start and Custom Game — reset anytime to go back to configuration and start over. Daily Challenge and Live Lobbies are one shot each, so they can't be reset once started.
