ABOUT THE FANTASY FOOTBALL DUDES:

***Please note, this is from the FFD website***

When you think of dudes, don’t think of the guy(s) who change their roster while using the John. These guys eat, sleep, and urinate fantasy. They won’t keep you guessing; they’ll keep you winning all season long whether you’re the new guy or the old salty veteran. The dudes do what they do for you and for ourselves. We want you to win, but more importantly, we want to win ourselves. Not your creepy uncle's fantasy show, more like your cool stepdads.
