How to Play Survival Fantasy Football

Survival fantasy football is a game in which you pick one football team to win each week. If you pick incorrectly, you're out of the game. Win the game by being the sole survivor.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Choose a place to manage your league, or manage it yourself. Yahoo! offers a survival fantasy football league that can be played online. You can also run a league yourself via message board, email, or in person with just a pen and a piece of paper.

2. Study the NFL schedule each week. Choose one team that you think will win their game. Keep in mind that once you pick a team, you cannot choose that team again for the remainder of the season. If you are running the league, compile everyone else's picks.

3. Eliminate players when they pick a losing team. Also eliminate players who did not make a pick by the deadline. Usually a deadline for a survival fantasy football league an hour before kickoff of the first game of the week.

4. Continue predicting a winner each week as the NFL season continues. Win the league by being the last player standing.

Tips & Warnings

• Because you can only pick a team once, save some of the strong teams for later in the competition.
• Survival fantasy football leagues often end in just a few weeks. If everyone is eliminated with several weeks left in the season, start over and play again.
• A variation of survival fantasy football involves choosing a loser every week. This can put a fun spin on the season as you try to be the best at picking bad teams.
• Don't get too risky with your picks. As much as you want to save strong teams until the end, don't eliminate yourself early by going out on a limb in the first three or four weeks.
