Football season is finally here and DraftKings has both College Football and NFL contests covered this week - so what better way to celebrate than to try and win your fair share at DraftKings? Over $1 Billion in prizes will be awarded in DraftKings' fantasy football contests this season, and this weekly spotlight is the place to go to find out what's happening each week.
THE FANTASY FOOTBALL $15 MILLION WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
DraftKings has one of the biggest fantasy football contests with the $15 Million Fantasy Football Contest / Event.

Then, the Top 10 will be featured on ESPN on NFL Divisional Weekend live in Los Angeles to compete for the chance at the top prize of $5 Million. Enter today!
