Three years later, the National Fantasy Football Convention is actually a go.
Thwarted in its first two attempts to hold an event, the NFFC will take place this weekend at Dallas’ Fair Park. The initial attempt was set for the Sands Expo Convention Center in Las Vegas in 2015, but it was delayed after the NFL let players know of the league's policy against appearances in a casino. The second was stalled last year in Pasadena, California, after the league contacted sponsors and alerted them of conflicts.
Roughly 50 players, including 20 Dallas Cowboys, will be on hand for the two-day event that is being hosted by ESPN fantasy expert Matthew Berry.
