I recently was invited to a baseball free roll on another DFS site called Fantasy Feud (link here). I placed near the bottom but in the money for $2.20. I noticed they also had a NASCAR game, so I let the money ride on that and, of course, I lost. But considering the way Draft Kings changed the nature of their game without warning, I thought people might like to know there are options out there.
The truth is Draft Kings altered their game to match what Fantasy Feud was already doing more closely. The other site wasn't giving points for Pass Differential, and had a game more focused on Place Finished, which is what Draft Kings wanted to be. And Fantasy Feud had a six driver format, which DK seemed to want to copy.
The primary difference is the Place Finished spacing. On Fantasy Feud, 1st place gets 100 points and each position behind sees a 5 point drop off, and varying degrees of drop off offering a range all the way down to 1 point for last place. On Draft Kings, First place gets 46 points, 4 points ahead of 2nd, who receives 42 pts. And from there, each position behind gets 1 point less.
Fantasy Feud also doesn't give any points for Fastest Lap, which is a relatively small part of the overall NASCAR game.
The research for either game should be fairly similar: you are going to focus on Drivers you think have a good chance of finishing high in the rankings for the price.
It's simply an option one should be aware of. I'll admit I enjoy the DFS NASCAR game and it has given me significant enjoyment in watching a NASCAR event. And a level of respect for the competitors that get behind the wheel. It's not the greatest sport out there, but I now get why it is so popular.
