The 2017 NFL season has finally and officially arrived!


Tonight’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots will kick-off the 2017 NFL regular season and we have three full fantasy football leagues kicking off as well! We’ve been working hard to make sure everyone who wanted to participate could do so and to arrange and pay for the leagues. The drafts were held on Tuesday night and the leagues are set to begin a full season of competition!



Leagues and Managers


For the three leagues, there will be two administrators. Leagues 1 and 2 will be managed by @bigpchef and League 3 will be managed by @sevinwilson. Here is the list of the leagues and their participants:

League Rewards


All SBD post rewards from league updates will be used to cover league costs and participant rewards for the regular- and post-seasons. The SBD rewards from this post and future league updates from this account – @ats-david – will be used to cover league costs, payouts, and a portion will go to my fantasy sports development fund.

The rewards for the regular- and post-season participants will be accumulated from the update posts from @bigpchef and @sevinwilson throughout the season. These rewards will be pooled together and then divided evenly between each of the three leagues. Post rewards will be split 75/25, with 75% going to regular-season payouts and 25% going to the post-season playoff challenge. Regular-season rewards will be paid out as follows for each of the three leagues:


PlaceReward (% of league total)
First30%
Second20%
Third11.75%
Fourth8.75%
Fifth7.50%
Sixth5.50%
Seventh4.50%
Eighth3.50%
Ninth2.50%
Tenth2%
Eleventh2%
Twelfth2%


We have also secured donations from league sponsors, which you can find at the bottom of this post.



Playoff Challenge


At the end of the regular-season and upon completion of the fantasy leagues, the top four participants in each league will be eligible for the NFL Playoff Challenge! This contest will have a separate prize pool that accumulates throughout the season and may have additional donations to sweeten the pot!

We will provide more information about this contest as the season progresses and I will provide periodic updates regarding participants and potential rewards.

What a great organization and team behind this event. I love seeing such a quality crew working together to make something of this quality pop right up. Thanks for sharing the updates on the league.

All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

Ok Buddy... I hope I've got everybody followed and witness votes like ordered! (I had to write in @followbtcnews, is that the right guy?)

Hey @richq11 yes buddy.. You got my witness voted..thank you very much.. I am excited about this Football League..this is going to lots of fun!!!

I'd be a lot more excited if I'd have remembered the draft and hadn't fallen asleep! I'm a writer and usually wake up at around 3 AM full of ideas.

You're very welcome for the vote... I am looking forward to the league. I did great last year. I had Matt Ryan (who I've followed since BC) nobody wanted him- he was a free agent!

Cant wait for the week 1 matchup... The hurricane is not only destroying small islands, but also my chances of winning week 1!

I'll probably be meeting Irma soon enough.

haha.. think she just hit.. Luckily in the steemit league I had no Dolphin or Buc players, in my other league I have 3....

thanks for this
