I found this video scouring YouTube for anything related to fantasy sports. Most of the videos were documentaries examining various aspects of fantasy sports. The video above is just one of many found on the Fantasy Sports Network channel. The video begins with host Pat Mayo listing his top running back picks for fantasy football. He then explains his reasoning behind the rankings with co-host Chris Meaney. The duo follows the same process with other position players. I chose this video to show the changes in screen work for fantasy sports players and how it affects the content for sports shows. In this case the Fantasy Sports Network fulfills a need for fantasy sports players who need help setting their lineups for their teams.
