Who are you starting this week?
Seven sealed bids, $25 each: win the card you can see or take the blind one free.
Rules. Every player starts with our projected stat line for the week, shown in whole numbers; until you change a stat, his projected points use our exact expectation (a 0.6-touchdown projection counts as 0.6). Click a number and scroll, use the arrows, or type to change it; projected points and ranks update as you go. Prefer to skip the numbers? Switch to Drag into order and drag each player up or down, or type his finish position; players start in our projected order, and switching back to stat lines keeps your drag order for later. Whichever way is selected at kickoff is the one that counts. Your top 32 QBs, 75 RBs, 75 WRs and 32 TEs are your position boards, and the top 100 of the players you tick make The Big Board. Each board is scored on its own when the week’s games are final: 5 points for each exact finish and 1 for each finish one rank away, in standard half-PPR scoring. Projections combine each player’s recent form, the betting market’s team totals, what the opponent allows to the position (green easy, yellow neutral, red hard), the kickoff weather forecast and the injury report, with an injured player’s targets and carries passed to his teammates. Boards lock at the week’s first kickoff. Free to play: badges and bragging rights only.
Your league’s scoring. Signals are model readings, not guarantees. History from 1999.
One ranking through your window. How values work
Blind Team Building is a free fantasy football auction you can play against the computer, or against a friend on one phone. Each player has $25 to fill the same lineup: a quarterback, two running backs, two receivers, a tight end and a flex. Every round deals two cards of similar standing for one lineup spot: one face up, one face down. Both players bid in secret for the face-up card. The higher bid pays and takes him, and the other player takes the blind card free.
After seven rounds the site says who built the better team. With this season’s players it uses projected points a game; with past seasons since 1999 the winner is whoever’s seven seasons scored more fantasy points. The result saves as an image, and a link deals the same cards to anyone else.
Round one deals a face-up Malik Nabers and a face-down card of similar standing. You bid $9 of your $25 and your friend bids $6: you pay $9 and take Malik Nabers, and your friend takes the blind card, Tyler Warren, for nothing. You now have $16 for six rounds and your friend still has all $25, so the next face-up card is likely theirs.
Build the team that scores more. With current players that is projected points a game; with past seasons it is the real fantasy points those seasons scored.
Yes. Play against the computer, or pass one phone between two players.
The face-up card goes to one player and the blind card to the other, so a tie still fills both lineups.
No. Share the link and anyone can play the same deal.
