about the league

Anti-Hero League Mission:

The goal of this league is to be the most engaging and fun fantasy league you've ever participated in.

Unlike redraft leagues, you're going to be building your franchise over several seasons.  Unlike standard dynasty leagues, your players will be under contract so you'll have to work within a salary cap that creates many management decisions throughout each season.

This league will require you to be involved outside of the standard August-December fantasy season.  However, the calendar is set up to not be overwhelming and important events are spread out to make them easy to manage.

Check out the League Calendar below along with links to key things you need to understand.  Take some time to review the League Bylaws and don't hesitate to ask questions in the league chat!
