how does fantasy football work? And why are so many US men obsessed with it?

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 :).

To add to what others have said – you pick players at different positions. Each player can generate points for your team based on achieving certain stats in a real-world game.

For example, a running back might earn points for every touchdown he gets, but might also earn points for every 10 yards he rushes, and might lose points for any turnovers he’s responsible for. Generally, you do not pick individual players on defense but rather a team’s defense, which earns points based on generating turnovers, defensive scoring, and limiting the opposing team to a certain amount of points/yards.
