Now that the the MLB regular season is coming to an end, that means NFL is right around the corner! To make things a little more interesting, DraftStreet is giving us a FREE, fantasy football league for $300 in cash prizes. You draft a team for one week and get paid out when the Monday Night Football game ends.

This free contest will be salary-cap style drafting where everyone tries to assemble the best team out of the available players. You will have a $100,000 budget to build a team of 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 2 FLEX, and 1 Defense. Each NFL player has been assigned a price based on their expected fantasy performance. For example, for week 1 Tom Brady costs $20,124 where as Mark Sanchez only costs $10,997.

You can adjust your roster up until the contest starts on Sunday September 9th at 1:00 ET, at which time your rosters will lock and the Live Scoreboard will be available.
