 ## Fantasy Football {#sec-fantasyFootball}
 
 As noted in the [Introduction](intro.qmd), fantasy football is an online game where participants assemble (i.e., "draft") imaginary teams composed of real-life National Football League (NFL) players.
-A fantasy football "league" is composed of various participants (each of whom has an imaginary team), and they play against each other.
-Leagues are commonly composed of 8 or 10 teams, but leagues can have more or fewer participants/teams.
+The participants are in charge of managing and making strategic decisions for their imaginary team to have the best possible team that will score the most points.
+Thus, the participants are called "managers".
+Managers make decisions such as selecting which players to draft, selecting which players to play (i.e., "start") on a weekly basis, identifying players to pick up from the remaining pool of available players (i.e., waiver wire), and making trades with other teams.
