Vampire features:

A Fantasy Football Vampire League is a fun and unique twist on the traditional fantasy football format. The “vampire” is a manager who has a special rule allowing them to grow stronger by defeating other teams. Here are the basic rules for a typical Vampire League:

Vampire Team

  • One manager is designated as the Vampire. This team operates slightly differently than the others in the league. Often, the Vampire is given a significant disadvantage to balance their ability to “steal” players.
  • The Vampire does not participate in the draft like the rest of the league. Instead, they inherit a team of random players or a team full of bench players from other managers.

Vampire Power – Stealing Players:

  • Each week, the Vampire can “bite” an opponent.
  • If the Vampire defeats an opponent in a matchup, they can “steal” one of the opponent’s starting players (typically from their starting lineup).
  • The player stolen must be a starter, and the Vampire must add them to their own starting lineup. This gives the Vampire team an opportunity to improve over time.

Weekly Mathcups

  • The Vampire plays against the rest of the league just like a normal fantasy football team. However, since they start with a weaker roster, they often face an uphill battle.
  • If the Vampire loses, nothing happens, and they keep their team as is. If they win, they get to pick a player to add to their roster from the opponent they just beat.

Injuries, Suspensions, and Bye Weeks:

  • If a player the Vampire steals is injured or on a bye week, the Vampire still gets the benefit of that player being added to their team, though they can’t steal a replacement for the time being.

Bloodthirsty

  • The vampire gets top waiver pick each week.
 

Endgame

  • The Vampire’s goal is to eventually build a team strong enough to compete with the rest of the league. Once they start accumulating stolen players, they can become a serious contender as their roster improves.
