With diehards eager for the return of football, we have some exciting news just in time for the NFL draft. We’ve officially opened Fantasy Football for 2018, so you can sign up today and get in on the fun.

This year you will notice a different look when you log into Yahoo Fantasy Football. We listened to what you had to say and made the following changes to our default settings for the upcoming season to create an even better experience:

1. We’re moving to a half-point-per-reception as the scoring standard

2. There will be a FLEX position, replacing a third receiver spot in your lineup

This will be the configuration for Public and Pro Leagues, and will be the default when creating a league. But don’t worry, if you prefer different settings, you can still customize your league.

[Yahoo Fantasy Football leagues are open: Sign up now for free]

You can also play on Yahoo for cash prizes by joining one of our $20, $50, $100, $250, $500 or (our new) $1,000 Pro Leagues, so you can win even more at Fantasy Football.

NFL Yahoo Cup will be bigger and better in 2018. There will be $150K in total prizes, including $50K to the grand-prize winner for the season and $1K to the weekly winner.

We’re also here if you need help getting started with a season-long or Daily league.
