Daily fantasy sports are contests that last just one day or one week. Like traditional fantasy sports, players compete with a team they’ve selected. However, DFS games offer several advantages over traditional fantasy leagues:
- No season-long commitment. Contests usually last just one day or week.
- Level playing field. There’s no draft, so everyone can pick the players they want (e.g. within a salary cap).
- Less luck involved. The short timeframe minimizes the impact of unpredictable factors like injuries.
