One and done fantasy football.
Use him, lose him.

One and done is a fantasy football format with one rule: you can pick any lineup you like each week, but you can use each player only once. There is no draft, and nobody owns any players.

PlayoffBlitz runs one-and-done leagues for the regular season and for the NFL playoffs.

Create a League

How one and done works.

One rule creates all of the strategy.

Pick anyone

Every week, every member sets a lineup of eight from the same player pool. Two members can start the same quarterback in the same week.

Only once

Once you start a player, he's gone for the rest of the season. Use him, lose him.

So the question is never only who is best this week. It's: should I use him now or save him for later?

Most points wins

Points add up every week. Nobody is knocked out, and the member with the highest total after the final week wins the championship.

One and done, survivor, suicide, knockout.

Cousins, not twins.

A survivor pool

Also called a suicide pool or a knockout pool. You pick one NFL team to win each week, and you can use each team only once.

Pick a loser and you're out.

One and done fantasy football

You pick eight players each week, and you can use each player only once.

Nobody is knocked out. Points add up all season, so everyone is still playing in the last week.

What they share

The use-it-once rule. In both games the real decision is when to use your best pick.

Fantasy football meets survivor

If you've played a survivor pool, you already understand the hard part of one and done: a pick you make now is a pick you can't make later. FantasyPros described PlayoffBlitz as "a survivor style fantasy football pool", and that's a fair way to put it.

The difference is that one bad week doesn't end your season. You're picking players for points, not a team to win, so a rough Sunday costs you ground, and you can make it back.

Two seasons, same rule

The regular season league runs NFL weeks 1 to 16 and draws from all 32 teams. The playoff fantasy football league runs four weeks, from Wild Card weekend to the Super Bowl.

Both are one and done, both have no draft, and both take unlimited members on one league fee. The rules page has the details.

One and done questions.

What does one and done mean in fantasy football?

One and done means each player can be used only once. You pick any lineup you like each week from the whole player pool, and once you start a player he's gone for the rest of the season.

Is one and done the same as a survivor pool?

No. In a survivor pool, also called a suicide pool or knockout pool, you pick one team to win each week and you're out when your team loses. In one and done fantasy football you pick players, nobody is knocked out, and the highest point total wins.

Is there a draft in a one-and-done league?

No. Nobody owns any players, so there is nothing to draft. Every member picks from the same player pool every week.

Is one and done only for the NFL playoffs?

No. Most one-and-done leagues only run during the NFL playoffs. PlayoffBlitz runs a 16-week regular season league as well as a four-week playoff league.

How many people can play in a one-and-done league?

On PlayoffBlitz there's no limit. Because nobody owns any players, a league plays the same with six members or sixty.
