Thankful For Daily Fantasy Sports

CHICAGO - Nov. 23, 2016 - PRLog -- Though this NFL season has been subpar in quality of play by comparison to many recent seasons, fantasy football players have failed to notice. They have noticed the normal rash of high-profile injuries and how they affect their teams, as normal. Fantasy sports contests have grown so popular that they are offered as Daily contests, Weekly, Monthly and full-season contests. If it were up to the players and the fantasy sports companies offering the contests, every game would have a fantasy sports contest tied to it. Of course, the state governments have determined that this is too close to gambling and require that multiple games are involved in the contests for the states that allow Daily Fantasy Sports to be played by their constituents. That requirement limits DFS contests to one per week except for three weeks during the NFL season where 2 days during the week have 2 or more weeks. Thanksgiving has 3 NFL games, thus providing enough contests to have 2 full days of DFS contest this week.

"Thanksgiving week is one of our favorite weeks of the season, though extremely hectic as Week 11 is barely in the books and we are loading up for Week 12." said Bill Parsons, President of Maximum Fantasy Sports. "We offer DFS leagues for Thursday and Sunday as well as Weekly leagues that cover the whole week for Week 12. Additionally, our season-long contests are heading towards the playoffs, adding additional excitement to this week. With so much going on, we decided to wait until Week 13 to offer our last set of Four-Week Frenzy leagues (Monthly).", Parsons added. DFS contests are offered in various forms, such as Salary Cap and Draft leagues. Days such as Thursday, where only 6 teams are in play, there is a lot of overlap in players from player's team-to-player's team. Sites such as Maximum Fantasy Sports offer contests that keep NFL players in each contest unique to a participant's team by allowing them to build their team via an online draft. These leagues are found on the company's Open Leagues (http://www.maximumfantasysports.com/OpenLeagues.aspx) page. NFL games seem as natural on Thanksgiving as turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie so there is no reason not to allow a DFS contest help you ward off that late afternoon tryptophan-induced nap.
