Custom Recipes: Play fantasy with new preset scoring formats

Introducing Custom Recipes! A simple way for leagues to play with unique scoring formats curated by the celebrities, creators and talent you already know and love. No rebuilding your league settings from scratch and no complicated configuration, just pick a Recipe and play.

Custom Recipes give your league a richer, shared identity. Run the same settings as your favorite creator, or try one of the popular non-default formats fantasy players have been asking for. Think bonus points for long runs, fumbles costing you double and more.

One-tap to apply so there's no rebuilding your league from the ground up. Play the same way as the creators and talent you follow and with formats you've been asking for.
