Draft from any NFL season in the record books

Time Machine mode lets you pick an NFL season — 2007, 1998, 2015, last year, whatever — and run a full fantasy draft using that season's real players and real stats. Every argument you have ever had about "who was the better fantasy player" has a real answer in here. You can draft peak-era Peyton Manning, Marshall Faulk, or Adrian Peterson and see exactly how their actual numbers stack up under modern fantasy scoring.

Perfect for offseason fantasy fixes

Most fantasy platforms only work during the NFL season. Time Machine is the GridIron Duels answer to the five-month offseason dead zone. Any time of year, you can jump into a past-season draft and play a complete game with real scoring. It is also a great tool for historical debates — friends who grew up in different eras of football can finally settle, for example, whether late-career Brady or mid-career Marino would have won a head-to-head draft.

Real historical stats, not estimates

The scoring in Time Machine uses actual NFL stats from the season you picked. That includes game-by-game data for the full schedule. No projections, no "what if" numbers — if Randy Moss caught 23 touchdowns in 2007, that is what he scores. This is what makes the mode feel grounded instead of gimmicky: the arguments it settles are settled with real data.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Which NFL seasons are available in Time Machine?

The season selector covers the years where GridIron Duels has backfilled per-player stats. The list expands as more seasons are added.

Does Time Machine use the same scoring as regular fantasy?

Yes. Scoring follows the same full-PPR rules as classic 1v1, but it is applied to the historical stats of whichever season you picked.

Can I play Time Machine in the offseason?

Yes. Because the stats are already final, Time Machine drafts work year-round. It is the recommended way to keep playing GridIron Duels between NFL seasons.
