Fantasy sports is basically where you and friends have a "draft" and make teams. Your teams are made up of real life players, but all from different teams. Then, you trade with other managers, and try to improve your team throughout the season. The stats are based on the real life stats of the players on your team that season. If a guy gets a touchdown in real life, he will get you a TD on your fantasy team, if he's on your roster. It's fun, and creates friendly competition between your friends

A fantasy sport (also known as rotisserie, roto, or fairy-tale sport; or owner simulation) is a game where fantasy owners build a team that competes against other fantasy owners based on the statistics generated by individual players or teams of a professional sport. Probably the most common variant converts statistical performance into points that are compiled and totaled according to a roster selected by a manager that makes up a fantasy team. These point systems are typically simple enough to be manually calculated by a "league commissioner." More complex variants use computer modeling of actual games based on statistical input generated by professional sports. In fantasy sports there is the ability to trade, cut, and resign players, like a real sports owner.
It's estimated by the Fantasy Sports Trade Association that 16 million adults in the U.S., age 18 to 55, play fantasy sports. Fantasy sports is also popular throughout the world with leagues for football, cricket and other non-U.S. based sports.

Where people pick any of their favorite players from any teams to comprise their ideal imaginary team. There is also betting and gambling structured around fantasy sports. It's serious business for some people.
