European here. I have heard of the concept of fantasy football, but never quite gotten what is so appealing about it, how it works (you pick players from different teams?), and why grown (wo)men are willing to dedicate hours of their life to it. Please explain :).

Not just men. I love checking stats and player reports for an hour or two every day. It’s a lot of fun to try to make the best starting decisions using research and gut instinct.
Then as the points roll in real time, you’re on the edge of your seat as you see your choices play out. There’s so much excitement as Thursday night approaches, as if the weekend starts then.
Then excitement again on Monday and Tuesday as waivers open and any hidden gem players who are still available may be scrutinized and possibly picked up as a “sleeper.”
It’s a very rewarding and intuitive game. And things don’t always go as expected. The more time you put in researching and analyzing, the better your choices. As the season gets into playoffs however, the stress and excitement starts to wear at me. There’s certainly a sense of relief as the season ends.
