Football season is finally here and DraftKings has both College Football and NFL contests covered this week - so what better way to celebrate than to try and win your fair share at DraftKings? Over $1 Billion in prizes will be awarded in DraftKings' fantasy football contests this season, and this weekly spotlight is the place to go to find out what's happening each week.
THE FANTASY FOOTBALL $15 MILLION WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
DraftKings has one of the biggest fantasy football contests with the $15 Million Fantasy Football Contest / Event. Aptly called "The Biggest Fantasy Football of All Time," the Fantasy Football $15 Million World Championship will take place in San Diego on December 20th, 2015. 200 entrants will qualify for this event (for as little as $3). Then, the Top 10 will be featured on ESPN on NFL Divisional Weekend live in Los Angeles to compete for the chance at the top prize of $5 Million. Enter today!
THURSDAY CONTESTS
While Thursday contests normally have a smaller prize pool than the Sunday contests, they're still no slouch (as you'll find out below) and they include ALL of the NFL games each week. For insight into strategy that's specific to Thursday contests, check out this article by Footballguys' own Phil Alexander.
