    Fantasy football involves drafting players from the NFL to earn points based on their real-world performance each week. Managers get 15 draft picks and compete against others in their league. Strategic decision-making involves calculating players' projected points per game to determine the best options while considering scarcity of top players and opportunity costs of choosing one player over another. For example, trading an injured quarterback for a wide receiver who scores 5 more points per week, despite keeping a high-scoring receiver on the bench.
