Inside Fantasy Football - Paperback

by Funt (Author)

Everything you ever wanted to know about fantasy football (except how to win)! Top touts. Pro athletes' takes. Celebrity competitors. The best ball revolution. Where sports gambling fits. AI's impact. Plus, the fascinating backstory of how fantasy football grew into a billion-dollar industry played by more than 50 million Americans.

Journalist and TV host Peter Funt dives into the fantasy football playbook to show how the NFL and media companies have embraced the action. He discovers why women are the fastest growing audience for fantasy football. And he reports on how daily fantasy, best ball, pick'em and other formats are dramatically changing the game.

"Inside Fantasy Football" includes exclusive interviews with top experts such as Matthew Berry and Jake Ciely, million-dollar winners including Pat Kerrane and Michael "Two Gun" Cohen, trailblazing women like Stephania Bell and Stacie Stern, plus pioneers Emil Kadlec, Paul Charchian, Rick Wolf and dozens more.

Illustrated with rarely seen photos, Peter Funt's book is a breezy, entertaining read for those who love fantasy football - and those who love those who love fantasy football. It won't help you win your league, but it will broaden your understanding and appreciation of America's favorite non-contact sport.
