The Fantasy Four
Call the top scorer at every position — nail all four and take the pool.
The Fantasy Four is our fastest weekly prediction game: four calls, one for each skill position. You aren't building a lineup or chasing a salary cap — you're naming the single player you think will finish as the week's top fantasy scorer at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end.
Pick from both conferences, or narrow the field to the AFC or the NFC only. A smaller pool is a more knowable one — if you only watch the AFC, the AFC-only variant is a contest you can actually handicap.
How it works
Before the week's first kickoff you submit four picks — one QB, one RB, one WR, one TE — from the pool's conference scope. When the games go final, we compute the actual top fantasy scorer at each position from real box-score points. Every pick that matches the real position leader is worth 5 points, so a card scores 0, 5, 10, 15, or 20. A perfect four-for-four card wins that week's pool outright; if nobody goes perfect, the pool rolls over to the next week and your points bank toward the season-long standings.

When it runs
Weekly during the NFL regular season, Weeks 1–18. New AFC-only, NFC-only, and combined pools open each week and lock at the week's first kickoff. Settles once the week's games are final; the season standings resolve at Week 18.
An AFC-only card, Week 6
You enter the AFC-only pool and make four calls: your QB, your RB, your WR, and your TE — each the player you expect to lead the AFC in fantasy points at that position this week.
Sunday settles. Your QB pick finishes as the top-scoring AFC quarterback → 5 points. Your tight end also leads all AFC tight ends → another 5. Your running back and receiver each finish second at their position → 0 points there.
You land on 10 points — a strong week, but not the perfect 20 it takes to win the pool outright. Nobody else goes four-for-four either, so the pool rolls over to Week 7 and your 10 points bank into the AFC season standings, where a title still pays out at Week 18.
