Fantasy point inflation is making it more challenging to reach the paylines in fantasy football contests.
A couple of years ago, 120 points (in DraftKings) would have you knocking on the door in cash games, meaning 50/50s and double-ups. Last year, that threshold started edging to the 140-point mark.
This season, at the outset, it seemed like you had to hit the mid- to high-140s -- but last week, the payline thresholds were through the roof.
