Aside from head to head there is another interesting option for a fantasy sports betting player to choose from when it comes to football and this is – the Rotisserie leagues.



Rotisserie leagues work this way, each week your players accumulate stats in a variety of different statistical categories and those stats are added to your category totals moving forward throughout the year. Highest scorer in a 12-team league at the end of the year in each category, such as Rushing Yards, gets 12 points and second to that gets 11 points and so on. It is also similar when it comes to the Receiving Yards, the highest scorer gets 12 points and minus one point for the scorer below the highest and so on.



The categories (Rushing Yards, Receiving Yards, Passing Touchdowns, and many more) are determined by the League Commissioner at the beginning of the year, and the winner of the league is the team owner who’s accumulated the most final category points at the end of the year.



This is definitely a different way of thinking about fantasy football but it’s also as exciting and as interesting as the other leagues a player can join in. But why should you bother with this option?

Here are the great reasons why you should play rotisserie leagues now!



*Basement owners here still have a chance to win unlike in head-to-head league which can be quite tough if you’ve ever been the team who lost its 3 or 4 games in the season. This circumstance is much less of a problem in a rotisserie league.



*Players here get traded more often. In rotisserie leagues, owners will sometimes be ahead enough in one category but down in another to want to trade their best players for good players in other categories.



*Tough divisions don’t kill average teams because you are playing for rotisserie in various categories throughout the year.



*Less of a problem with late-season flukes because once again, you are looking for rotisserie from your categories.



*Everyone gets to play the whole year. Here every owner is given the opportunity to play all of the weeks of the season and it can get tense trying to build up those final points categories in the late weeks.



Rotisserie leagues are very different on a week-to-week basis. Keep in mind that you are not playing against a certain opponent here and you’re not going to have as much reason to resort to trash talking. On the fun note, just remember to keep it light and have fun!
