Bulls vs. Bears

How Bulls vs. Bears Works

Bulls vs. Bears is a season-long fantasy stock market where NFL players are priced like stocks. You buy shares with virtual capital and your portfolio value rises or falls based on how those players perform each week.Instead of drafting a fixed roster, you trade freely every week, growing your portfolio from opening bell to the championship.

Scoring

Share prices, weekly settlement & portfolio value

Every player in the market has a share price derived from their projected fantasy output. Six blended forecast models run behind the scenes to set the opening price each week.

Share prices

Each player's price reflects their projected performance: higher projected output means a higher price per share. Prices reset each week based on fresh projections, so the market always reflects current conditions.

Weekly settlement

After Sunday's games, every position settles. Your share count is multiplied by the player's actual fantasy point total that week. Beat the projection and your shares appreciate; miss it and they lose value.

Portfolio value

Your score is the total dollar value of your portfolio at any moment: cash on hand plus the market value of all your holdings. Grow it faster than everyone else and you win the league.
