NFL Fantasy Survivor Pool


Rules

The GDF Fantasy Survivor Pool is a combination of Fantasy Football and NFL Survivor Pools. You pick a different fantasy team each week and need to reach a certain number of points to survive. You can't pick the same player twice.

How the pool works

  • Each week, you will select a team of 9 fantasy players, consisting of:
    • 1 quarterback
    • 2 running backs
    • 2 wide receivers
    • 1 tight end
    • 1 kicker
    • 1 team def / st
    • 1 Flex (any above position)
  • Your team will earn fantasy points based on your players performance, using standard fantasy scoring rules (see below)
  • You can't select the same player twice
    • If you select Aaron Rodgers in week 1, you won't be able to select him again
  • Each week, your team must accumulate greater than a target number of fantasy points, or you will be eliminated from the pool. That target is:
    • Weeks 1-6: 80 points
    • Weeks 7-12: 90 points
    • Weeks 13-18: 100 points

2021 COVID rules

  1. If a game is cancelled or postponed or a player you selected is ruled out because of Covid - all after you have selected the player, the player will be unfrozen and removed from the lineup. You will not be stuck with a player who is not playing because of Covid. You'll have two options:
    • Select a player from an upcoming game that hasn't started. If a 1 pm game is cancelled, you can select a different player from a later game in the week (or another 1 pm game if it hasn't started).
    • You will be assigned the 15th highest scoring player from the week at this position. If you've already selected that player, I'll go to the 16th and so until there is an available player. This option would make sure you get some fantasy pts in case a MNF game is cancelled (or if an earlier game is cancelled and you don't re-select a player).
  2. If the whole season is cancelled early, if there are 10 or more entries still remaining, the pool will be cancelled and everyone's money will be returned. If there are less than 10 entries remaining, the pool will be considered complete and winners will be selected per the rules

    Payout:

    • If their are 1 or more surviving entries after week 18:
      • The surviving entry with the most fantasy points at the end of the season wins ~80% of the pot
      • All other surviving entries will split ~20% of the pot
