Core offering

Drafters is an online real-money daily fantasy sports platform that hosts multiple contest formats. Its flagship Best Ball format automatically counts the top weekly performers (1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1FLEX) toward the user's score with no roster management required. The platform also offers Pick'em over/under player predictions with up to 100x payouts and quick snake-draft DFS contests that condense a season-long league into a single day or week. Drafts begin on demand as soon as 12 participants join, with selectable Fast Draft (30 seconds/pick) and Slow Draft (8 hours/pick) timers, and the platform is anchored by the annual NFL Best Ball Championship featuring $1.5M in guaranteed prizes.
