Smart Draft
DraftKings, a cross platform experience for NFL Daily Fantasy Sports, is the smartest and fastest way to draft. Users join contests and develop a team according to players’ salary valuations, which stem from historical accomplishments. Player data and ratings are aggregated in order to facilitate a seamless crafting process for your successful Daily Fantasy Sports roster. You have the ability to see how each player affects the team, but also be strategic in how you draft with the constraint of a $50,000 salary cap for a cash or tournament experience.
Reimagining Fantasy Football
DraftKings is crafting a dynamic and transformative experience with their Daily Fantasy Sports platform. Fantasy sports isn’t new, but the founders created a daily experience that most fantasy players could only get throughout the 17 week season. Instead of season-long leagues, where you keep the same players and often watch as your favorite or best players endure injuries or differing performances, your team lasts only one week at a time.
