Daily Fantasy Sports 2013

The daily fantasy sports industry is exploding in 2013, and daily fantasy football is the reason. Major daily fantasy sports websites are launching expensive ad campaigns. Last season, FanDuel was the leader among sites advertising. They paid for premium ad space with Google and ran ads on Yahoo! Sports Radio.

This season FanDuel has taken it to another level. They now have TV commercials on ESPN. Sure, so does MyPillow. I'm not saying that a TV ad creates legitimacy of a product because it definitely does not (I am looking at you Sham-Wow). TV ads mean that a business has a large amount of capital, and that is vital to the longevity and success of a business. FanDuel's ads may not legitimize the industry, but it is clear that the daily fantasy sports industry is not going anywhere.

Earlier this week there were rumblings that CBS Sports is inching its way closer to joining the daily fantasy sports industry. Large invest firms are already pouring money into the current sites. Why? A lot of money can be made from daily fantasy football.

Believe it or not, we are still in the early days of the daily fantasy sports industry. The 2013 daily fantasy football season will play a major role in the development of this industry.

Daily Fantasy Football Strategy - NFL Week 2

Early in the season, the NFL favors the pass. Light preseason work affects defenses more than it does offenses. Add to that the fact that modern passing systems are much more complicated than running games (the exception being the zone read rushing attack). Thus, in daily fantasy football for week 2, the points are going to come from quarterbacks and wide receivers.

Although it may be tempting to pick a low priced QB this week, it is probably not the right choice. Saving at QB to spend on RB is not effective right now. Last week only two RBs rushed for over 100 yards, and only two RBs were in the top 20 in daily fantasy football in scoring. I will concede the notion that a cheaper QB will allow a daily fantasy sports player to load up at WR, and may be the recipe to take down a GPP and win a lot of money.
