Fantasy football has been the same game for twenty years. FantasyX changes one rule, and it changes everything. EVERY PLAYER, ONE SHOT Draft a brand-new roster every week. But once you've used a player, he's gone for the rest of the season, locked in your graveyard. Your stars aren't yours to ride all year. You have to decide when to spend them. WIN THE WEEK. SURVIVE THE SEASON. Burn your best quarterback in Week 1, or save him for the playoff push? Ride a breakout receiver now, or bank him for a tough matchup later? Every lineup is a real decision, and every decision is permanent. BRING STARS BACK TO LIFE Earn a limited number of revives with big weeks: start the top scorer at a position, put up a flawless lineup, win with a deep-roster pick, or take down the first-place team. Revives are rare. Use them wisely. START ANYTIME A fresh draft every week means nobody has a head start. Join in Week 1 or Week 9 and you're on level ground with the whole league. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT • Live scoring and matchups • Leagues with friends, custom scoring, commissioner tools • Standings, playoffs, and full season history • Every active pro football player in the pool, not just the top 300 • Mock drafts anytime, league or no league FREE TO PLAY No entry fees. No cash prizes. No gambling. Just the deepest strategy fantasy football has ever asked of you. Draft your league. Dig your graves.
