Traditional fantasy sports, where you draft a team and manage them in a set league over a season or multiple seasons, is very different and will still exist because, as you say, it can be fun.

What DraftKings and FanDuel provide is basically a loophole in the federal law which made gambling via fantasy sports legal. You draft a new team every day, and gamble that your team will do better on that particular day than other people. It's kind of a pain in the butt to do, when what you really want is to just watch the games and root for one team...

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize "daily fantasy" was a thing. That sounds like a PITA.
