Each day at 12 noon (Central Time), the submission window closes and every roster locks. The spinning numbers keep spinning until 1 p.m. (Central Time), when they stop to reveal a randomly selected career year and game number. All submitted contest tickets will be scored using those two numbers, with winners posted at 2 p.m. (Central Time). Good luck!

WANT TO BE AN ULTIMATE PLAYER?

Every other fantasy game makes you a spectator with a spreadsheet. Roster Stars puts you in the lineup. The Ultimate Player is a full 13-year football career with no name on it — until you claim it, and it becomes yours.

The Ultimate Player jersey: Roster Stars number 1

Every Ultimate Player wears the Roster Stars white — number 1, whatever position he plays.

THE SIX CAREERS

Ultimate Player QuarterbackAVG 15.46 · SALARY $12,400
Ultimate Player Running BackAVG 12.69 · SALARY $8,900
Ultimate Player Wide ReceiverAVG 11.69 · SALARY $7,100
Ultimate Player Tight EndAVG 8.30 · SALARY $5,000
Ultimate Player KickerAVG 7.05 · SALARY $4,600
Ultimate Player DefenseAVG 9.23 · SALARY $9,300

Thirteen years is a full career on Roster Stars — the same standard the legends are measured by. An Ultimate Player’s career average stands at full value, and his price is set by the same formula as everyone else’s.

HOW THE CAREERS ARE MADE

★

Stitched from real football. Each Ultimate career is crafted from real games by real players — a few games from one man, a few from another — woven into one honest 13-year career.

★

The bad days are in there too. Real careers have zeros and did-not-plays, and so do these. When the spinning numbers land on your year and game, you get whatever that day holds — a goose egg, or a game they’d write songs about.

★

Same career, your name. Everyone who plays Ultimate Player Wide Receiver plays the same career. What makes it yours is the name on the jersey: yours.

HOW TO PLAY YOURSELF

1

CLAIM YOUR JERSEY

Every Ultimate Player wears the Roster Stars white, number 1. No picture needed — the jersey is you: you get the jersey, you’re on the roster.

2

FIND THE GOLD COLUMN

On your roster, the gold ULTIMATE column runs right beside the DNP column. Click the box on the row where you want to play and your player card pops out — your name, your jersey, your numbers. Hit PUT ME IN THE GAME and the slot is yours.

3

SEE YOUR NAME IN THE LINEUP

Your roster now shows your name at your position, next to the legends. When the numbers stop, your Ultimate Player scores by the same rules as everybody else — and yes, DNP Insurance covers you too.

THE RULES

★

One dollar to play yourself. Adding the Ultimate Player to your roster costs $1 per roster — you’ll see it under Your Additions when you review and pay.

★

One man, one position. You can play yourself at one position per roster — you’re only one person, even in fantasy.

★

Every contest, every day. Your Ultimate Player is available wherever his position fits, under the same salary cap as the legends around him.

★

Scored like a legend. The same two numbers that score Jim Brown score you. What’s more fair — or more fun — than that?
