How To Play 2025 Fantasy Football (Guide For Beginners)
Fantasy football is a growing game with new users each year. If you've never played fantasy football before, this article has you covered. Below, we'll be talking about the basics of fantasy football and outline how you can put yourself in a position to crush your league mates. Let's dive right into it! How to Play 2025 Fantasy Football If you're not familiar with how fantasy football works, the premise is that you draft a team and watch these players in real time. Based on how players play in real NFL games, you get a certain number of points. These points are centered around yards, catches, and touchdowns. While a ton of different formats, in almost all of them, you face off against someone else in a head-to-head matchup. After competing in a regular season, the top teams make the fantasy football playoffs. From there, the winners advance until a champion is crowned. Beginners Drafting Guide There are a few important things to note. Make sure you know your format and how your roster is constructed. For example, in a typical ESPN league, you'll often only have one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, a flex spot, a tight end, a defense, and a kicker. In those leagues, getting top talent is crucial. While you're going to want to target your running backs and wide receivers first, drafting a quarterback or tight end in round three makes more sense than if you have multiple flex spots. You're going to be able to find average players on your waiver wire (we'll talk about this below), so it's important to shoot for upside. That means targeting players such as rookies who have a low floor but high ceiling. How to Make Trades Going off that same principle, if your league has a shallow starting lineup, you should always want to acquire the best player in a deal. That means that doing two or three for one trades is almost always best for the player getting the top guy. The reason why is that in these shallow leagues, this 'depth' production is very replaceable from the waiver wire. How to Use the Waiver Wire We've mentioned the waiver wire a few times, but what is it? The waiver wire is a pool of players who are not currently on a roster. However, you can't just add these players at any time. Once they start their weekly game, they become locked. Then, once the previous week is over, you can submit a claim or bid for these players. There are two common formats for waivers. FAAB and waiver priority. FAAB just means that you get a set amount of fake dollars per season to spend on free agents. FAAB does not reset, and whoever gets the highest bid for a player gets to add them. For waiver priority, it typically runs based on the standings for the previous week or the entire season. The pro tip here is that most people are too cautious when it comes to the waiver wire. While you shouldn't overreact or go overboard, the best players typically come in the first few weeks. Be aggressive early on without being reckless. How to Crush Your Fantasy Football Draft This final section is the most complex, so we'll provide you with a few more articles to look into. The overarching takeaway is that you need to be flexible and able to adapt. Coming in with a specific draft strategy and only sticking to it is a bad idea. These strategies are meant to be used as guidelines, but if you follow them to a tee, you might be in trouble. Make sure to read this article from myself below. It includes a comprehensive 2025 fantasy football draft guide with all the information you could ever need. The last tip is that you should just try to learn as much as possible leading up to your draft. My author page is a great way to do so, but knowing what's going on in the NFL realm often leads to a ton of success. Have Fun! The most important thing when drafting is to have fun. Fantasy football is just a game, and you should treat it as such. While things can get serious at times, remember what it's all about. Use Fantasy football as a way to enjoy the NFL, connect with friends, and have a good time!

Fact Check: Photo of man giving 2 middle fingers to Trump wasn't taken at 2025 Super Bowl
Claim: A photo authentically shows a man displaying two middle fingers to U.S. President Donald Trump at the 2025 Super Bowl. Rating: Context: A photographer captured the picture during the Iowa at Iowa State college football game on Sept. 9, 2023. A rumor circulating online on Feb 9, 2025 — the day of the 2025 Super Bowl — concerned a photo purportedly showing a man giving two middle fingers to U.S. President Donald Trump, who was in attendance at the game in New Orleans. The most prominent posts we located of users sharing the photo on the day of the Super Bowl appeared on Reddit, TikTok and X. One TikTok photo post (archived) receiving more than 6 million views and 1.4 million likes originally featured a caption labeling the man in the red shirt as a "Chiefs fan." Two posts on X read, "THIS TO THE LOUVRE NOW," and, "CACKLING," receiving more than 2 million and 135,000 likes, and 10 million views and 666,000 likes, respectively. A since-deleted Reddit post titled "We need more of this kind of energy over the next 4 years" had more than 34,000 upvotes. Other examples appeared on Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. However, while the photo authentically showed a man giving two middle fingers to Trump, the photographer did not take the picture at the 2025 Super Bowl. As such, we have rated this miscaptioned, meaning users incorrectly captioned a genuine image. A photographer, whose name we did not yet determine, originally snapped the photo at the Iowa at Iowa State college football game on Sept. 9, 2023. A video from progressive political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen displayed additional pictures of people giving Trump, at the time a former president, the middle-finger gesture. On the day of the game, The Des Moines Register reported the crowd in Iowa "greeted" Trump with "cheers and chants." The reporting also said, "Some attendees did boo and shout obscenities as Trump passed, but he drew far more eager and excited onlookers who appeared unbothered that he faces criminal charges in four separate cases."
