As draft season comes to a close and the real football gets underway, it’s time to get to work showing off your fantasy football knowledge. There’s three ways you can compete against the Fantasy CPR staff and readers as well as other bloggers from across the FanSided network. Here’s the good news: all three are completely free to join and won’t take much of your time to show your know-how off.

Here’s the three games and the links to the Fantasy CPR group. If you already have an entry just search for the Fantasy CPR group and join. It’s that easy.

Gridiron Challenge

Gridiron challenge is a basic salary cap league where you are given a budget, players are assigned values, and you can remake your roster on a weekly basis. Here’s our group link. You can have players for as many weeks as you want and the same player can be on multiple teams. The scoring is fairly basic with a few minor tweaks which we’ll cover in our post on Monday with our picks of the week.

Eliminator Challenge

Eliminator takes even less time each week. The concept is incredibly simple; the execution is surprisingly difficult. All you have to do is pick one team who is going to win. If you lose your entry is eliminated, but if you win you survive another week. The catch is you can’t pick the same team more than once during the season.

Come on over, join our group, and make sure to choose wisely.

Pigskin Pick’Em

Pigskin Pick’em is a simple pick the winners game. We’ll be playing against the spread in our group, so come and join if you want one more thing to cheer for in every single NFL game all season long. Show how well you know football and do your best to outsmart the bloggers here at FanSided.

The more players in each game the more fun it will be to follow so feel free to pass the invites on to whoever you want and check for picks posted here at FantasyCPR each week.
