Players earn points based on the actual performance of these athletes in games, making strategic decisions about which players to draft and start each week. Participants often join leagues with friends or strangers, competing for the highest score over a season. Many platforms offer tools for tracking player statistics and making trades. Fantasy sports have grown in popularity, with millions of players engaging in this interactive way to enjoy their favorite sports.
