I think it’s safe to say that we’re all fans of fantasy football. I mean obviously you are if you’re reading this. Sometimes your traditional leagues can lack a little pizzazz. Can lack a little fire and desire. So why don’t you switch things up a bit? I’m not talking using PPR (nothing wrong with that.) I’m talking bigger. I’m talking exciting. I’m talking risk-taking. Here’s a few ways you can ditch the norm and add some spice to your fantasy leagues.

A 2 QB LEAGUE: Completely changes how you go about drafting a team doesn’t it? Would you go QB with your first round draft pick? Hope you can get some solid choices later on in the draft? Complete game changer in terms of a league.

A SURVIVOR LEAGUE: Worst team gets kicked off the island. You could do this a number of different ways. You can do the team with the lowest weekly point total takes a hike for more uncertainty or you can do it by overall point total. You can also do something along the lines of teams playing head-to-head in division play, team with the worst record at the end of a certain period gets eliminated from playoff contention until the division winners are in a playoff of their own.

A BULLY LEAGUE: Probably the most aggravating of the league ideas; if you win your head to head match-up, you can trade any player on your team for any player on the team you just beat. This will probably cause a bunch of arguments, but at least you know that people will more than likely pay attention to their leagues more often.

HAVE A PERSONAL DRAFT LOTTERY: Borrowing a page from the NBA, gather everyone up for a Pre-Draft Lottery. You can do ping-pong balls like the NBA or you can just draw names out of a hat. You can even do fun “challenges” to decide how to the draft order is set.
