Daily Fantasy Sports are blowing up, and NFL teams are jumping on the opportunity to join the exploding, $1 billion-plus industry. DraftKings, an ever-popular destination for fans in need of a weekly fantasy football fix, recently announced a partnership with 12 organizations, including our very own Minnesota Vikings.

The partnership, announced in conjunction with the DraftKings $10 Million Guaranteed Millionaire Maker Fantasy Football Contest, will bring fans closer to their favorite teams through a number of different fantasy football offerings. Each week, users around North America can play single-day online games for cash and prizes against their friends for a small fee. According to the team’s official website, the opportunities are endless as DraftKings expands its partnerships:

“The sky is the limit for our partner teams and their fans this NFL season, as we host the largest contest in daily fantasy sports (DFS) history in Week One, join forces with ESPN to seamlessly bridge daily and season-long fantasy football, collaborate with FOX Sports on unique TV integrations and open in-stadium lounges at three outstanding facilities.”[/quote_box_center]
In addition to the new features listed above, the company will also offer “exclusive fantasy games and money-can’t buy experiences to fans in these markets” as well as “premium in-stadium branding and online extensions on each teams’ digital platform.”
The Vikings aren’t the only ones to join the fun, though. As Brett wrote yesterday, Vikings Territory has partnered with DraftKings to bring our readers fun contests each week of the season. For Week 1, we’ve created a 20-team league with a $5-dollar entry fee, making entry easy and accessible for Daily Fantasy Sports rookies and veterans alike.
After the Vikings beat (we hope) the 49ers on Monday night, we’ll find out who set the most successful lineup and which three players walk away with the week’s cash prizes:
1st Place – $45.00
2nd Place – $27.00
3rd Place – $18.00
If you haven’t signed up, now’s your chance — there’s just six spots left in the contest!
