FantasyLite
Fantasy football with no lineups, no waivers, and no homework. Draft 4 NFL teams and enjoy the season.
Traditional fantasy football is a second job. Setting lineups every Sunday morning, chasing waivers at midnight, fielding trade offers from that one guy in the league. FantasyLite keeps the fun and drops the homework. You draft 4 NFL teams, one from each of four tiers balanced by preseason win projections, and your weekly score is simply the real points those teams put up in their actual games.
There is nothing to manage after the draft. No lineups, no waivers, no trades, no add and drop. Every league also includes the Phantom, an AI rival that drafts 4 of the leftover teams and quietly racks up points. Outscore it in a given week and you pocket a +10 bonus. Highest cumulative total after 18 weeks wins the season. Nobody has to pay: joining is free, playing is free, and creating a league is free too, one per season with up to 6 players. FantasyLite Pro at $9.99 a year is an optional upgrade for commissioners who want bigger leagues, several leagues at once, or in-app draft scheduling. And unlike most apps, a new league can start any week of the season, not just Week 1.
What it does
Draft once, done in minutes
Pick one NFL team from each of four tiers, balanced by preseason win projections. Draft instantly or run a live Draft Party with your group.
Real points, zero maintenance
Your weekly score is the actual points your 4 teams score in their real games. There is nothing to set, swap, or babysit all season.
Beat the Phantom
Every league has a built-in AI rival. Outscore the Phantom in a week and earn a +10 bonus on top of your total. No group? Play Solo vs Phantom year-round.
Leagues sized for real life
Play with 2 to 8 friends, a family, the group chat, or the office. Public matchmaking fills open leagues, and the Phantom fills any empty slot.
Start any week
Most apps lock leagues after Week 1. FantasyLite lets a new league start any week of the season, so a late idea in the group chat still turns into a real race.
Free to run, Pro to run big
Creating a league is free: one per season, up to 6 players. Pro at $9.99 a year unlocks leagues of 7 or 8, unlimited leagues at once, and a draft date with notes and reminders for your group.
Who it is for
- People who love football but quit fantasy because it became a chore
- Beginners who want in on the fun without learning waivers and lineups
- Small groups, families, and offices who want a season-long game together
Frequently asked questions
Does everyone in the league have to pay?
Nobody has to pay. Joining is free, playing is free, and creating a league is free too, one per season with up to 6 players. FantasyLite Pro at $9.99 a year is an optional upgrade for commissioners who want leagues of 7 or 8, more than one league at a time, or in-app draft scheduling with reminders.
How is scoring calculated?
Each week your score is the combined real-world points your 4 NFL teams scored in their games. Beat the Phantom that week and you add a +10 bonus. Highest cumulative total across the season wins.
What is the Phantom?
The Phantom is an AI opponent that takes one slot in your league and drafts 4 of the leftover NFL teams. It gives every league a built-in rival, and beating it each week earns bonus points.
Do I have to manage my team during the week?
Never. There are no lineups, no waivers, no trades, and no add or drop. You draft 4 teams once, then enjoy the season.
Can we start a league after the season begins?
