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 :).

Men make up the majority of players, but it’s popular among women too. My wife is in 3 leagues. The league we are in together has two other women. Her work league is 50% women.
Generally each fantasy team starts 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 2 wide receivers, 1 tight end, 1 kicker, and 1 defense. Then you have 5 bench players. With there being 10-12 teams in each league. At the start of the season there is a draft and everyone fills there team. Then each week you pick which players you want to start and they are scored based on receptions, passing yard, rushing yards, etc. You play head to head each week and eventually there is a playoff.
