Make Your Fantasy League Better - Final Edition

Over the last few weeks, Sarge has listed several ways for you to improve your fantasy league. The best part of improving your fantasy league is the fact that there are no exact rules or ways to go about it. You and the other members of your league can make any and all changes that you want. With that said, here is the final suggestion to improve your fantasy league.

Picking Winners Each Week

Fantasy Football is usually about the players. However, there is another phase of football that can add to your league - THE GAMES. That's right, they play games in the NFL every week. There are winners and losers. Picking winners of each game is a great way to add competition to your fantasy league.

If you use a website to host your league, which you should, some will have a menu for each league member to pick NFL games each week. If you really want to add to the difficulty, you can find a way to use point spreads. In our league, points awarded for picking winners of games is compatible with the points awarded for players performance. We also have bonus games. We have found that the games that are split evenly in picks are the ones that should be valued more. Picks are not revealed on our website until kickoff of that particular game. With 10 members in the league, any game that is divided in picks by 5-5 or 4-6 is considered a bonus games and worth twice the points of games that are divided 0-10, 1-9, 2-8, or 3-7. If someone fails to pick a game, that is an automatic LOSER. Lack of effort is not rewarded here.

Fantasy Football can be about more than just the players. The more in depth, the more competitive and enjoyable. Sure anyone can realize that Chris Johnson should have a monster game against a weak defense but it takes a little more knowledge to determine who will win between the Colts and Patriots. It can get really entertaining when you need a player to do well but the opposing team to win because you have points riding on them winning.

Fantasy Football is great but you can make it better. BRAINSTORM! Stretch the limits to make your league unique and better than any other.
