When it comes to fantasy football, the standard league format is to pick a team and manage it throughout the season. Owners decide who to start and who to sit each week, and then the final few weeks of the NFL regular season serves as the playoffs.

For those who are not looking to put that type of commitment into things, daily and weekly fantasy football leagues have really taken off in recent years. This allows for players to pick teams based on a salary cap and win leagues quickly. Don’t like your team?

Well, you can start from scratch and get a new team going quickly without having to suffer through the entire 2012 season with the same players.

Those looking to win money on a weekly basis can also excel with daily and weekly fantasy football leagues. The NFL regular season is 17 weeks long, giving players a ton of opportunities to play multiple games each week and have renewed interest.

When it comes to picking your team, owners do not have to worry about nagging injuries in this type of format. Since it is a one-game type of deal, owners just roll the dice with those players and focus on individual player matchups. For example, while Andrew Luck might not be considered an elite fantasy football quarterback just yet, he could really excel against a bad pass defense and be a starting option a few weeks out of the year.

There are some cons though to this type of format. For starters, it is hard to create a bond with other owners in a league that lasts for a short period of time. To counteract that, the same group of players could get in the same leagues each week. However, to some people, that does not end up really even feeling like actual fantasy football. Instead, people are just making picks on who they think will do well that week instead of trying to predict the future.

Since fantasy football has grown as much as it has, people have been given a ton of options. You can join anything from a keeper fantasy league that lasts multiple seasons to a daily fantasy football game that lasts a few hours. Options are never a bad thing, and there are certainly no limitations when it comes to how many leagues a person can join. Test them all out and see which works best for you.
