This high school football season, we’ve got a new series here at WATD. Each week, the Sports Exchange boys will draft a fantasy football team comprised of five local players–one quarterback, two running backs, and two wide receivers/tight ends.
In a bit of friendly competition, we’ll see whose squad wins out each week.
Statistics will be used to calculate points on a modified fantasy scale, with touchdowns worth six points, quarterbacks receiving one point per 25 yards passed, and every 10 yards rushing or receiving earning one point as well.
