There’s a guy in my league that’s 0-8. His record got me thinking about what I would do if I had no chance of making the playoffs. After punching a hole in my wall, I’d probably have a clearance sale of my top players. You know, accept a bench player + a twelve-pack of beer as fair trade value. I’m not the commish this season, so I’m cool with shady behavior.
 
The next thing I’d do is scratch my competitive itch by playing at one of the weekly fantasy football sites. These sites let you play for cash and prizes one weekend at a time. No season long commitment. If you’re 0-8, it’s a great way to win back your league buy-in. If you’re 8-0, it’s a great way to make money with your proven superior knowledge of the game.
 
We’ve introduced some of you to one of these sites, FanDuel, through our exclusive $1,000 Beat the Expert contest and our Start/Sit Accuracy Challenge. FanDuel’s been a great partner and I’m not just saying that because they sponsor our great prize giveaways. We’ve already given away more than $20,000 of their money this season!
 
There are literally dozens of these sites with more launching every week. To help you find the best ones, we’ve put together a new Contests & Games page. The content there will be updated periodically to share great promotions and offers from the top daily fantasy sites.
 
So if you’re feeling the itch and you can’t hop on a flight to Vegas, I suggest checking out one of the sites we recommend. Oh, and despite my gambling references, playing daily fantasy games for cash is a legal activity. Scratch away!
