- Fantasy football glossaryOne line per term, so that no other note in this encyclopedia can use a word you have not been given.
- How an NFL offense makes fantasy pointsAn NFL team runs a fixed number of plays each week and hands them to six or seven people, so fantasy football is a fight over the division of a pie, not over talent.
- How the league is wonThe league is now confirmed at ten teams. Its former scoring, roster, waiver, payout, regular-season and playoff rules remain unchanged: the strategic consequence is a shallower player pool, not a newly invented league format.
- Player archetypesTwelve labels that describe what a football player does, so that a name you have never heard becomes a thing you can reason about.
- Reading an NFL depth chartAn ordered list of who plays each position for a team — useful, frequently dishonest, and the source of the single worst naming collision in fantasy football.
- The 2026 season calendarSeventeen games squeezed into eighteen weeks, which is why every team disappears for one of them — and why the calendar is a draft-day constraint, not a thing you look up in October.
- The four players you already knowFour names you kept from last year's autodraft, used as four doors into the ideas you actually need before the draft.
- What basketball teaches you wrong about footballEleven instincts that make you good at fantasy basketball and will lose you money here, each paired with what football actually does instead.
- What each fantasy position actually doesSix roster slots, six different machines — and most of the players on an NFL field cannot fill any of them.
- Your league, in one pageEvery confirmed setting in this league on one screen — the reference card to reread on draft day, with no argument in it.
