I had never heard of this until I read that Josh Gordon asked to be released by the Hawks so he could play in it.
Apparently fans set the rosters, make the play calls, and decide the challenges.
Johnny Football is also in the league.

The whole "fluid roster" with weekly drafts thing; Just seems a bit disingenuous to me, in terms of an actual team winning consistently or generating any sort of continuity. The bigger picture aspect of bringing an app to life with actual players is pretty awesome, though. I gotta think that there is money to be made, similar to fanduel and draft kings with this sort of thing.

Seems like a lot of risk, for only $400-$750/game..
