How sports stock markets work

  1. Find your player or team

    Choose an NFL fantasy position or team league. Every listed player or team has its own stock page, where you can explore the market before signing up.

  2. Read the price

    Compare the share price with the standings and payout schedule. The market’s expectations can change with performance, injuries and playing time.

  3. Know the finish

    At settlement, final standings determine the payout per share. NFL players compete within their position under the market’s fantasy scoring rules.

  4. Trade your view

    Place an order with a price and share quantity. Sell before settlement if a buyer matches your order, or hold for the final payout. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Pricing and payouts

A stock price is what traders will pay for a share. Buy and sell orders meet on the order book; an order fills when there is a matching order on the other side.

At settlement, the market’s final standings and payout schedule determine what each share pays. Team markets use team finishing positions. NFL fantasy markets use fantasy-point standings within each position.

Your purchase price still matters. A positive payout can be less than what you paid for your shares.

What drives price movement

Performance, injuries, playing time and upcoming matchups can change what traders expect. Prices move when buy and sell orders match at new prices.

Fantasy rank and stock price answer different questions. Rank tracks a player’s performance under the market’s scoring rules; price reflects what traders will pay for that player’s shares.

  • Read the scoring rules and payout schedule first
  • Compare players within the same position market
  • An order needs a matching buyer or seller to fill

Start with NFL fantasy. Find your position.

Quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and kickers each have their own market. Compare players within a position, or explore a team league.

NFL players and team stocks to explore

Open a stock page for its price, standings and market details. Start with a player you follow, then compare the rest of their market.

A few things to know

Am I buying ownership in an athlete or team?

No. FanFolio stocks are shares in a sports simulation. They do not represent ownership of an athlete, a sports team or their earnings.

Do I need to wait until the season ends?

You can place a sell order while the market is open. It fills only when a buyer matches it. Shares held through settlement pay according to the market’s final standings and payout schedule.

What does PPR mean for NFL player stocks?

PPR means points per reception. The market’s scoring rules also cover other statistics relevant to each position. Fantasy points determine player standings; traders determine stock prices.
