I’m New to Fantasy Football. This is my Journey.

Hi there! I’m Amilee, a 36-year-old who’s new to Fantasy Football. Despite knowing nothing about it, I’ve joined a Fantasy Football league because my friend invited me. Now, I’m diving in to learn everything I can and I’ll be sharing my journey with you all. Fingers crossed I do well! Take a look at my team!!

Back in college, I picked up the basics of football while playing on a girls’ flag football team. It clicked for me—playing the game and then watching it on TV helped everything make sense.

I’m familiar with the basic rules and I know Travis Kelce plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. As a Taylor Swift fan, I enjoy watching her watch the games and cheer from the sidelines as any normal football player’s girlfriend would do. (Check out pictures from The Eras Tour here in my photo gallery.)

So, I’ve got my fantasy team, cleverly named “Go Taylor’s Boyfriend.” Tonight, the Chiefs and Ravens are playing, and it’s also my first Fantasy Football match up. According to ESPN.com, I now have a 51% chance of winning against my friend.

I feel like the ESPN sound is going to haunt me in my sleep this season. I’m already hearing echoes of it in my brain.

Tune into the game tonight at 8:20pm for the Chiefs vs Ravens game. You can watch it on Peacock if you have a subscription.
