How Fantasy Reloaded Works

Fantasy Reloaded is fantasy football without the season-long commitment. You never draft against a room of other managers, and you are never stuck with a roster you picked in August. Instead, chance hands you a set of NFL or college teams, and you build the best lineup you can out of what you are given — in about two minutes.

The basic idea

Every game mode is a variation on the same loop. Something random — a set of dice, a spinning wheel, a trivia question — gives you a team. You then draft one player from that team's offense into your roster. Repeat until every roster slot is filled, and your lineup scores real fantasy points from that week's real games.

The skill is not in knowing who the best players are. It is in deciding which of the players in front of you to spend a slot on, knowing that the teams you get later are out of your hands. Take the highest projection every time and you will often find the last roll forcing you into a position nobody wants.

Roster shapes

The standalone games offer three quick-pick formats:

A player only ever fills a slot they are eligible for, and the app puts them in the most specific open slot first — so a wide receiver fills WR1 before it will consume a FLEX you might need later.

In leagues and tournaments, the roster is not limited to those three. A commissioner builds their own shape slot type by slot type — up to four each of QB, RB, WR, TE, FLEX and SUPERFLEX, to a maximum of twelve slots in total. The presets above are just the common starting points.

The game modes

Where your points come from

Rosters score from real box scores, updated live while games are being played. NFL lineups use half-PPR scoring and college lineups use full PPR — the full scoring rules list every value.

Before kickoff, each player shows a projection so you can compare picks. Once their game starts, the projection stays on screen next to what they are actually scoring, so you can see whether a pick is beating expectations or letting you down.

Where you can play

Every mode works in the browser and in the iOS app. Single rosters can be entered on the weekly Leaderboard, where they are ranked against everyone else playing that week, or kept private as a solo game. Leagues and tournaments are invite-based and played with people you choose.
