Fantasy sports may have began as a way to allow the general public the ability to assume the role of manager, but it has progressed into so much more. You get to be the owner or manager. You are essentially Daryl Morey, the Houston Rockets general manger. Build your team and compete weekly against other owners.
Every year fantasy sports pays out approximately $2 billion in winnings, whether through DraftKings or FanDuel. The competitiveness of the league you are in greatly depends on the owners and the knowledge of your particular fantasy game. Everyone seems to have jumped on the fantasy bandwagon and in doing so, hopefully developed a deeper appreciation for the work these athletes put in.
