New this season: a double-header format. Every week you play two match-ups instead of one.

• Match-up 1 — Head-to-Head: your usual matchup vs. another manager
• Match-up 2 — League Median: your score vs. the week's median (8 teams land above, 8 below)
• Two results each week → a 28-game W–L record across the 14-week regular season
• No more 8th-seed wild card: most Points For (8th–16th) no longer earns a playoff berth — seeding is now set by W–L record, with PF as the tiebreaker
• Double-headers apply to the regular season only — playoffs & consolation stay straight H2H

A brand-new Playoff Fantasy League — your fantasy season now runs all the way through the Super Bowl. Why stop at Week 17??

• Runs the full NFL playoffs — Wild Card → Super Bowl (4 weeks)
• Played on FanTrax (Yahoo! has no playoff fantasy). Sign up before Wild Card Wknd — Jan 16, 2027
• Same scoring as our Yahoo! league. Full setup details to come

• Each week, draft a full lineup: QB · RB · RB · WR · WR · TE · FLEX · K · DEF/ST
• Daily-fantasy style — anyone can pick any player, no head-to-head
• One-time use: once you play a player, you can't use them again the rest of the playoffs
  • Play Josh Allen in the Wild Card round? He's unavailable for you to select in subsequent weeks
  • Strategy: balance your best weekly lineup against which teams will keep advancing

• Most total points across all 4 playoff weeks wins
• Prize is 1× buy-in, paid from the existing buy-in pot
• Everyone starts fresh — a last chance to win it back (or pad your winnings!)

The Weekly Winners Challenge will take on a new format this season. We'll still have weekly challenges — but instead of paying out cash each week, every manager will collect points based on how they finished in that week's stat category.

• Each week, every manager ranks 1–16 in that week's stat category. Points are awarded by finish — 50 pts for 1st, 38 pts for 2nd … 1 pt for 16th — similar to F1 rankings/points
• At the end of the 14-week regular season, the manager with the most accumulated points wins 1× buy-in; 2nd place 0.4× buy-in; 3rd place 0.1× buy-in
• If a manager has multiple players in the top 16 of the stat category, only the highest player/stat will be taken; all 16 managers will score/rank 1–16
• In case of a tie, points will be added up for all tied positions and split evenly amongst the tied managers
• No more weekly competitions during the playoffs (Weeks 15–17)
