In fantasy sports like basketball you have to gauge how many rebounds, steals, etc. your team will get on a week-to-week basis.

I can only compare it to the Premier League one, and the NFL is more complex. I don't necessarily mean confusing, just complex. Once I did a mock draft and learned what a waiver was, I was pretty much good to go. But the PL one is simple - you have a total value for the squad from which to pick 11 starters and 3 subs, you only one get free transfer a week, theres no restrictions on different managers selecting the same players, and the league table is based on total points. So the NFL one was a little surprising to me, a 12 team league, a draft, a head-to-head each week. It wasn't really what I was expecting.
Also the PL FF is just a bit of fun amongst friends. It's very rarely mentioned on TV coverage etc, whereas the NFL FF has a life of its own. It's huge.
Anyway my team is:
Tom Brady / CJ Spiller / Ahmad Bradshaw / Julio Jones / Jordy Nelson / Kellen Winslow / Julian Edelman / Andy Dalton / Nate Washington / Jason Snelling / Isiah Pead / James Jones / Heath Miller / David Akers / Chicago Bears
