Here you go, from Wikipedia.


Fantasy football is a fantasy sports game in which participants (called "owners") are arranged into a league. The person who creates the league is called the commissioner, and that person invites other owners into his/her league. Each team drafts or acquires via auction a team of real-life American football players and then scores points based on those players' statistical on-the-field performances. A typical fantasy league will employ players from a single football league, such as the NFL or an NCAA division. Leagues can be arranged in which the winner is the team with the most total points at the end of the season, or in a head-to-head format (which mirrors the actual NFL) in which each team plays against a single opponent each week. At the end of the year, win-loss records determine league rankings or qualification into a playoff bracket. Most leagues set aside the last weeks of the regular season for their own playoffs.

I think you start out by purchasing players in an auction, then every week your team of players is pitted (statistically, based on the individualy real-life players' performance that week) against other teams of players owned by other participants. Winning games gets you points, person with the most points at the end of the season wins.

Can anyone confirm if this is correct?

I remember there was a fantasy football (soccer) league at my school and whoever came out top at the end of the season got some vouchers or something. To me it just goes to show sport can be as nerdy as anything else.
