I had a teacher in high school who was obsessed with fantasy football and wrote for a fantasy sports column in an online newspaper. I know how actual sports work, but what about fantasy sports? How do they know who wins, looses, teammates, etc…

Fantasy sports is basically an online version of sports where the human players “draft” a team.
This team is actual players in real life.
Let’s say it’s football for our example
Say you take Lamar Jackson from the Baltimore Ravens as your quarterback.
You play him, and the rest of your team. It could be anyone from any team.
You get points based on actions these players do in their games. If Lamar throws an interception you might lose points..if he runs the ball and scores a touchdown you might get points. If he throws passes you get points. Etc etc.
You then take all the points you got and compare it to your opponent who is another player who did the same thing. They picked a different QB different defenders and offense and special teams.
