FanDuel: Week 9 Spotlight

Footballguys Staff's FanDuel: Week 9 Spotlight Footballguys Staff Published 11/04/2015

Another week is in the books, but the fantasy football season is just getting warmed up. The place to play one-week fantasy football is FanDuel and this weekly spotlight is the place to go to find out what's happening each week.

 

Sunday Contests

The Sunday contests include FanDuel's largest tournaments. These begin at 1pm ET on Sunday and include all of the Sunday NFL games plus the Monday night games.

Footballguys FanDuel Championship

It's just $10 to play and the top-500 (out of 1,130) double up their cash each week. Plus Footballguys' own Joe Bryant, David Dodds, and Sigmund Bloom will be entering the contest too. And if you finish ahead of those three, you'll be playing in a final round in Week 11 that offers $40,000 in FREE prizes. You do not want to miss out on this contest and it filled up early again last week. Play now!

Sunday Million

FanDuel's largest contest of the week is their Sunday Million. It's just $25 to enter and awards $3,000,000 with $500,000 to first place! All you need to do is finish among the top-26,405 to win cash. Play now!

Sunday Rush

While the Sunday Million may be the biggest contest, it's possible that the Sunday Rush is the best, which stands strong at $1.25 Million in total prizes. The best part is that it's only $5 to enter and you'd have a shot at the $100,000 first place prize. And all you need to do is finish among the top-57,500 entries to win cash. This contest has been known to fill early, so be sure to enter sooner than later. Play now!

 

Thursday Contests

While Thursday contests normally have a smaller prize pool than the Sunday contests, they're still no slouch (as you'll find out below) and they include ALL of the NFL games each week. For insight into strategy that's specific to Thursday contests, check out this article by Footballguys' own Phil Alexander.

Thu NFL Bomb

If you enjoy the Sunday Million, the Thu NFL Bomb is its little sister. It's just $25 to play and there's now $200,000 in total prizes. First place will take home a $20,000 of those total prizes, which leaves plenty more cash for the other entries that crack the top-4,000. Play now!

Thu NFL Rush

Leading the way for the Thursday slate on FanDuel is the Thu NFL Rush, which measures in at $450,000 in total prizes. At just $5 to play, it's certainly worth a look (or maybe two). And the top-20,222 will win cash with $40,000 to first place. Play now!

 

Sunday Afternoon Contests

FanDuel will also have Sunday Afternoon contests each week. These are posted soon after the Sunday games with a 1pm ET start time begin. Be sure to check back in the lobby if you're looking to get in on the afternoon excitement!

College Football Contests

FanDuel offers college football contests throughout the week with a variety of different options. The best place to check them all out is the lobby, but a couple highlights are below.

CFB Hail Mary

The Hail Mary is FanDuel's premier college football contest. It's just $25 to play and boasts the largest prize pool of the college slates. There's not only a Hail Mary for Saturday, but Thursday too. Play now!
