Daily Fantasy Sports Variants - Luxury Tax Contests (By Matt Trollo): Most existing game variants revolve around either a salary cap or snake draft. Drafts probably involve a higher skill factor, although there are varying degrees of luck depending on where your picks slot in on certain days.

Other sites penalize for strikeouts instead of outs made. This got me wondering how the scoring differences affect the value of the most extreme TTO hitters.
