How can fantasy football feel less predictable and reward better strategy each week?
Project
Wildcat Fantasy Football
Sports & Entertainment
A fantasy football mobile app for players who want a less predictable experience. I added a bet-based multiplier system that brings real risk and reward to weekly matchups.
I built Wildcat for players who think standard fantasy is predictable. It emphasizes strategy under uncertainty and makes each week feel high stakes.
