Weekly Fantasy Football (1 Viewer)

[After the Rain]

Through the FBG fanduel freeroll I got started in weekly fantasy football and it has been a lot of fun. While I still have my regular leagues, I have to admit that I am into the weekly a lot more (maybe to the detriment of my other teams). With this different perspective though, I find myself considering things differently. The question of "start or sit" isn't as big of a deal as "who is the best value guy". Sure, I'd start Ray Rice each week in regular leagues, but no way would I put him in my lineup each week in fanduel or draftstreet.

I was just curious as to whether or not I am relatively unique in my focus shift or if this is moving into the mainstream of FFB.

I haven't played but I can see where this could be the next big thing.

Ok - I consider myself pretty versed in fantasy but what is weekly fantasy football?

You pick new guys each week?

That's actually a very reasonable question to ask. It's my understanding that there's about a thousand different versions out there and, yes, they are primarily non-roster type games.I run an FFTOC-type contest, for instance, where you pick a different starting lineup every week. You can use anyone you like within the confines of the lineup definition but you can only use a player once all year. I'm also experimenting with a small (6-8 player) poker league where we hold an online auction every week to buy new lineups and then play a head to head schedule.It's hard for me to believe that these types of games are the "coming thing" but they fit pretty nicely for some of us who may be a little bored with traditional fantasy.
