How to Play Fantasy Football on MindSports
Whether you’re new to fantasy football or a returning champion, MindSports makes it simple to jump in and start competing. Here’s how it works:
1. Create an Account
Getting started takes less than a minute. Simply sign up with your email, choose a unique team name, and set up your profile. No complicated setup, no hidden fees — MindSports is designed to get you in the game fast. Once you’re in, you’ll have full access to leagues, player stats, community chat, and game tools.
2. Join or Create a League
Fantasy football is best played with friends — or fierce rivals.
You can join a public league and get matched with other Canadian players, or create your own private league with people you know. As commissioner, you get to set the rules:
• Draft type (live or auto)
• Scoring format (standard, PPR, custom)
• Number of teams
• Playoff structure
Draft Your Dream Team
The draft is where champions are made. In a live online draft, you’ll take turns selecting NFL players to build your team — quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, kickers, and defenses. Each pick matters. Research players using our real-time projections, injury reports, and expert insights. Draft with strategy — balance stars with sleepers, think long-term, and cover bye weeks.
Manage Your Team Every Week
Your drafted team is just the beginning.
Each week, you’ll need to:
• Set your starting lineup
• Bench underperformers
• Watch for injuries and hot waiver wire pickups
• Make smart trades to improve your roster
MindSports gives you live alerts, smart recommendations, and weekly match previews, so you never miss an opportunity to gain an edge.
Score Points & Climb the Leaderboard
Players on your team earn points based on their real-life NFL performance — yards gained, touchdowns scored, field goals made, and more. Your goal? Outscore your opponent each week in head-to-head matchups. Win enough games, and you’ll rise through the standings, reach the playoffs, and get your shot at the championship.
