Ever get sick of waiting through an entire NFL regular season to kick someone's butt in fantasy football?
Pull up a stool, my friend. Let's talk.
In the new FOX Fantasy Quick Challenge Fast Draft, you'll be able to flex your fantasy muscle over just one weekend's worth of games rather than the full season! And pretty soon, you'll be able to play for money! Real money! You can finally get rid of all those ski-ball tickets you've been saving to buy your girlfriend a ring!
You can crush just one player — or a whole group of players — in one weekend.
Imagine this: Your buddy or some guy online or your parole officer shoots his mouth off about how you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to fantasy football. But it's already Week 9 — too late for a draft and you don't want to punch him in the face. What's a guy to do?
With FOX Fantasy Quick Challenge Fast Draft, you can issue him a head-to-head challenge using just the players from the upcoming week's NFL games.
Wait 15 minutes for your two-team serpentine draft to begin, with starting rosters including a QB, 2-RB, 2-WR, TE and K, and then you sit back and wait for kickoff of the first game. Once you stomp a mudhole in him, you move on to your next victim.
'Cuz you're a hustler, baby.
Not since Cliff's Notes — nay, not since the seven-minute abs workout — better yet, not since contractions were invented like “don’t,” “won’t” and “o’clock,” has our universe improved so greatly. The cotton gin, combustible engine and the Internet are somewhere in there too.
What's that? You'd like to spread the love by beating several people at once?
You can join a group in our Challenge Lobby for just a two-person game, three-person, four-person, five-person, or heck, you can join 99 other people that think they have a shot. Try playing regular fantasy football in a 100-team league some time — the playoffs begin in Negative-Week 28.
Later this season, you’ll be able to play for $1, $5, $10 or $20 entry fees! Or you can step up to the premium tables (imagine gold velvet ropes surrounding this area) and play for $50 or $100 entry fees!
You can choose to join a group already filling up — or create your own group. That's a nice little option you won't find anywhere else.
All challenges are FREE for now — with no entry and no payout. Consider it your warning shot across the bow of all future challengers. Get in there, draft a couple teams, get a feel for the game, pretend it's a preseason fantasy game. Then — in a couple weeks — unleash the beast for real cash in challenges that count!
Just think, eventually, with you bringing home money each week after playing the new FOX Fantasy Quick Challenge Fast Draft, your family won't hate you for playing fantasy football!
