Read full description

Daily fantasy sports app that allows you to draft entire position groups so that when a player you draft gets injured you still continue to accrue points towards your victory through the #NextManUpNation. For instance, if a running back is injured mid-game you'd get the points he earned you before his injury as well as the points that his backups earn you for the rest of the game. This eliminates having to guess which wide receiver is going to get the majority of the targets as you draft the entire wide receiver group from a team. Switching lineups for last-minute inactives is about to become obsolete.
