Fantasy Football: Salary cap leagues on fire

If you are in week 6 and there is no hope for your fantasy team, daily fantasy football may be your game

DETROIT – Daily Fantasy Football salary cap leagues are the new hot game this season. It's basically legal (in most states including Michigan) online fantasy football gambling. Players can join a variety of different types of games; 50/50, tournaments, one week leagues, one night leagues.

The objective is to put together the best one week fantasy football team using a salary cap, or example $60,0000. Then you pick players for each spot, they each have different values, but you must remain under the $60k cap. Teams are made up of 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, a TE, defense and kicker. If you pick an expensive player at one position you may have to spend less at another.
