Fantasy Football Advice: Pricing

Both FanDuel and Draftkings put pricing out early and adjust for each player’s recent production and factor in their opposing matchup. Historically, Draftkings pricing has been a little more dynamic while FanDuel’s remains slower to adjust.

FantasyDraft and Yahoo have pricing systems that are significantly different but we can still compare how players are priced on these sites based on the percentage of cap space that each player requires you to spend as well as the order in which they price players per position. For the sake of this article, I focus mainly on FanDuel and Draftkings unless I see something really out of the ordinary with pricing on one of the other sites.
