How MYFFL works, where it came from, and the rules that govern every yard.

How it started

The Origin Story

2010
8 founding members · 15 seasons

MYFFL was founded in 2010 by a group of eight friends who thought traditional fantasy football scoring was broken. Touchdowns were too random. Yardage was the grind — the real measure of a roster built right.

The idea was simple: score every yard, not just every score. A 200-yard receiver week should matter more than a lucky goal-line carry. Fifteen seasons later, that philosophy has produced some of the most competitive and statistically rich fantasy football in our circle.

What started as a group text and a spreadsheet is now a full league hub — standings, history, records, and a trophy that nobody wants to give back.

Commissioner's Note

"MYFFL runs on trust, competition, and a shared love of the game. The rules exist to keep things fair — but the spirit of the league is what keeps us coming back every August. See you at the draft."
