BEAVER CREEK, Colo. (AP) — In this fantasy league, tailbacks Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson are absolutely worthless.
And fantasy participants don’t procure points through touchdowns and yards but by podiums finishes and fast times.
This is a league where Carlo Janka of Switzerland is as valuable as Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and taking a long shot like American Travis Ganong to win a race at, say, Beaver Creek this weekend, could pay off as handsomely as the waiver-wire pickup of Eagles QB Michael Vick.
Started this season by U.S. skier Steven Nyman, the fantasy skiing league has gone from 500 enthusiasts at the start of the World Cup season to nearly 2,000 now.
