But in the past decade, the fantasy landscape has exploded into a multi-tentacled behemoth with offshoots for dynasty, DFS, best ball, high stakes, and a variety of other formats. In his terrific new book, Peter Funt covers it all — from the trailblazing of Matthew Berry to the more recent development of sims and A.I. infiltrating the space. This is a must read for any fantasy football fan and a peek into the future of this great American pastime.” —Peter Overzet, head writer, Fantasy Life “Fantasy football has evolved into a year-round game sustaining a little corner of the universe of full-time analysts and experts. Peter Funt's book is an entertaining look at how that came to be while highlighting some of the many people who make this space a joy to be a part of.” —Pat Kerrane, “Legendary Upside” host and million-dollar winner
