PlayoffBlitz runs a full regular season fantasy football league, NFL weeks 1 to 16, with no draft. Each week you set a lineup of eight players from any team with a game, and you can start each player only once all season.
Most points after week 16 wins. No waiver wire, no add-drops, no roster to babysit.
Create a LeagueOne lineup a week. That's the whole commitment.
Every player on the active roster of any NFL team with a game that week, available to every member at the same time. Nobody drafts and nobody owns any players.
Teams on a bye sit out that week's pool, since their players have no game to score in.
Set a new lineup every week. Eight starters, the same all season:
Each NFL player can be started only ONCE all season. Sixteen weeks means sixteen different quarterbacks.
The stars run out fast. By November the question is who you saved, and how deep you're willing to dig.
Four numbers cover it.

The usual game starts with a draft night everybody has to make, a cap on how many teams can play, and a roster you tend with waivers and add-drops until January.
PlayoffBlitz skips all of it. There's no draft and nobody owns any players, so every member picks from the same player pool every week.
The best part is who you get to pick from. You're not limited to the three or four really good players you drafted. The best quarterbacks and the best running backs in football are there to pick from every single week.
It also means a league can be any size. Eight friends or eighty coworkers play the same game on the same league fee, and the members join free.
In a regular season league each player locks when his own game kicks off. Your Thursday night pick locks on Thursday, and you can keep changing the rest of your lineup until those games start.
The regular season league ends after week 16. When the NFL playoffs start, a separate four-week playoff fantasy football league picks up, with the same lineup and a much smaller player pool.
The rules page has the full version, and all player score totals are detailed on the points page.
Yes. In PlayoffBlitz nobody owns any players, so there is nothing to draft. Every member picks a lineup of eight from the same player pool each week, and the only limit is that each player can be started only once all season.
Sixteen weeks, NFL weeks 1 to 16. The league skips weeks 17 and 18, so you can enjoy the holidays.
A team on a bye isn't in that week's player pool, because its players have no game to score in. You pick from the teams that are playing.
Each player locks when his own game kicks off, so you can keep editing the rest of your lineup until those games start. Commissioners can make exceptions at their sole discretion.
As many as you like. Every PlayoffBlitz league has unlimited members, and the league fee is the same for eight friends or eighty coworkers. Members join free.
Regular season leagues open in August, ahead of NFL week 1.
Leagues open in August. Create one, invite as many people as you like, and set your first lineup before week 1.
