A group of friends from Chicago begin their annual fantasy football league by preparing the league draft, but three-time defending champ Pete has a problem: his wife Meegan doesn't want him to play this season.
Fantasifotboll ger utlopp för väluppfostrad tävlingslystnad och laganda mellan vänner och kollegor, men så är inte alltid fallet.
