Fantasy Football Contests

In most fantasy sports games, participants acquire players through drafts or auctions, and then track their actual game statistics each week to score points in the fantasy league. However, players have the option of taking part in simplified contests online that don't distribute players via a draft. This levels the playing field, as the participant with the luck of the draw and the ability to select the top-performing player at a certain position is often able to pad his cumulative point total, thanks to the player's consistently excellent statistical performances.

Fantasy Sports Game Formats

Some online fantasy sports sites open up the entire field of NFL players to every single participant, requiring only that participants fill their rosters by choosing a designated number of players at each position. One configuration is for a team to be made up of one quarterback, a pair of running backs, a trio of wide receivers, a single tight end, a place kicker and one defensive player.

The best sports games test skill, not luck. Playing in online contests that allow participants full control over their rosters makes the outcome dependent entirely on the skill of each team's owners, not on the luck of the draw at the draft.

Fantasy Sports Game Master is an online sports game site that allows players to hand pick their own teams, with no restrictions, while offering weekly rolling cash prizes to the best-performing teams. The site also offers a $10,000 guaranteed cash prize to the team owner with the highest year-end point total.
