Every format is a real rule set.
Full-Season Leagues for 2027
Dynasty: Keep the whole roster every year. Rookie draft each spring, picks trade as assets.
Keeper: Keep a few players every year and draft the rest again.
Redraft: New rosters every year. The league, its history and its members carry over.
Guillotine: Redraft with a cut every period: the lowest team is out and its players go to waivers. The last team standing wins.
Best Ball: Draft and hold. Your best lineup is set for you every week (every day in head-to-head points), scored by points, with no adds, drops or trades.
Leagues you can open without joining. Real stats, each frozen on one day of the season. See the sample leagues.
