Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pick my players?

It’s easy! Every player has a specific salary that’s based on their expected performance. Players projected to have more points have higher salaries. Your job is to fill all 9 positions on our fantasy football roster — QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, D, K — while staying under the total salary cap for your team. And you can’t pick more than 4 players from the same NFL team, so choose wisely. To learn more about picking your players, visit our Fantasy Football Training Camp.

How does scoring work?

Scoring is a lot like the traditional fantasy football you’re used to. We use a “half PPR” format, meaning you get 0.5 points for every reception. To learn all the basics of playing fantasy football on FanDuel, visit our Fantasy Football Training Camp.

And for a full breakdown of every fantasy sport’s scoring, see our Rules Page.

Can I play FanDuel in my state?

You can play paid contests in every state except AL, AZ, ID, HI, IA, LA, MT, NV, TX, and WA. In those states with restrictions, you can still play in any free-to-enter fantasy football contest. To help bring fantasy football regulation to your state, visit FantasyForAll.com.
