Lineup submissions Player transactions can be handled any number of ways. When some order is needed, the record and points scored are typically the first two factors considered. After the Monday night game, the commissioner compiles the stats, integrates the stats and awards wins, loses, and ties. He then reports the results along with the previous week's player transactions and in what order the transactions the following week will be. Winners are either determined by playing in the above fashion until the end of the NFL season, or by taking the last two or three weeks of the NFL season and holding a fantasy league playoff.
Some people play their whole roster every week.
Most leagues allow you to submit a predetermined distribution of positions as your starting lineup for that week. Rosters can be altered through trades and waiver wire transactions. Some leagues allow injury substitutions from the waiver wire for those roster players ppearing on the weekly NFL injury report. Some allow ties to stand while others will break a tie using the longest TD scored, etc. Once you have completed your weekly schedule which is most likely 13 or 14 weeks comes the playoffs.
