I have played TSN Fantasy in the past but really got frustrated with how they priced some players; you would have $1,000,000 to play with for each week but the best players were often priced at $300,000+. So if you picked Andrew Harris at $300,000 you had to pick your remaining 6 with $700,000; it often meant you had to pick 1 or 2 complete duffers.
But it looks like they have reduced the highest $ amounts for the best or at least, potentially best players. So I will give it another try this year.

thats the skill involved, knowledge of the league and price vs value
ps: never ever picked andrew harris ... always overpriced

Anyone who picked a player from the Stamps -Bomber game on Friday may want to check TSN Fantasy Football, they gave us all big fat goose-eggs. Regardless of how well they did....
Hope they fix that; otherwise I just got screwed out 25+ points.

I should also mention that you can play the free games on Draft Kings in addition to TSN. More parity in the values. Similar format to TSN except its weekly or daily. No kicker, you get an extra flex player. Also, return yards/TDs count, so makes dual threat players very valuable than TSN

Picking the champions in the CFL, CIS, or NCAA is no easy side-bet unless you are in it with each athletic director, minus the CFL. Way back in the 19—‘s you had a chance. ‘Since 2016, is there parity?’ Look at the NCAA for instance, the game is becoming more technical and scientific. Remember all the scientific magicians who are currently being exposed on cable television. Illustrations of all their (magicians) trapped delays are technically discovered.
Outside of an N.H.L. slapshot, how many times do you hear of safeties lining up, head up to the outside or inside of a tightened two yards off the pigskin, minus the goal line?

Ok....based on the results of tonight's game, I am personally boycotting any and all Hamilton Tiger-Cat players from my fantasy picks for the rest of the year. And I will not be picking the TiCats to be winners of any games in CFL Pickem.....at least until Collaros returns and plays a couple of games. I might be more rational by then.

There are no locks this year.

Argos play twice this week and both games will count for TSN Fantasy. Seems like a good week to pick some Argo players!
