How do you think they impact media coverage?

I think the main attraction fantasy sports has is its resemblance to gambling. As we know, there is a huge industry surrounding the world of gambling i.e. casinos. The unguaranteed possibility of coming out on top or winning a few extra dollars gives fantasy players a thrill and a desire to keep playing and coming back for more.
I think the unique niche they fill for fans is the idea of building a real team like the professional teams do. Fantasy sports allow users to pick and choose players they feel might benefit their team overall and earn them the best rewards or give them an advantage somehow.
There is a lot of media coverage surrounding fantasy sports. I often see ads for FanDuel or DraftKings promoting the "best" players to draft onto their team to earn them the most points and get the most money possible from the betting component embedded in fantasy sports which in return, encourages fantasy players to use those platforms.
