ESPN Employee Wins Massive $1 Million Payday Playing Fantasy Football
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
An ESPN staffer revealed having won a cool $1 million from daily fantasy football this week.
Week 17 is usually the most crucial period for fantasy players, although there’s another week remaining. It’s when championships are won and lost, while lots of platforms offer tournaments. There’s also the fact that teams sometimes rest their best players in Week 18.
It turned out to be massive for one ESPN employee. Veteran researcher Mackenzie Kraemer won the aforementioned sum and took to X to announce it.
“I just won a million dollars playing best ball fantasy football on DraftKings.com,” he wrote, showing off his daily lineup, which included the following players:
- Bears QB Caleb Williams
- Falcons RB Bijan Robinson
- Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet
- Bears WR Luther Burden III
- Saints WR Chris Olave
- Giants WR Wan’Dale Robinson
- Cardinals TE Trey McBride
- Broncos RB R.J. Harvey
He scored a haul of 225.30 points to the tune of $1 million, with Bijan Robinson having a monster night, despite Jared Verse’s disrespect.
Adam Schefter helped spread the good news.“ESPN has the smartest researchers!” the insider claimed.
What a way to ring in the new year.
Daily Fantasy Football Offers Instant Success
Daily fantasy football is becoming more and more popular, and Kraemer’s winnings could help in that regard.
It’s not quite like regular fantasy football, where players have a roster for the season and face one opponent every week. They simply need to select a lineup for a specific day or week and are then grouped with hundreds or thousands of other players.
The cash incentives are clearly very attractive, and it’s legal in most states across America.
Of course, it helps when you’re a researcher for The Worldwide Leader in Sports.
