Attention fantasy football enthusiasts: The Gridiron Games will give all DISH Network subscribers access to two fantasy football games which can be played for cash prizes.

Both fantasy football games that make up the Gridiron Games are exclusive to DISH Network and will be available throughout the 2010 NFL season. “DISH Network Team Pick’em” allows fans to pick a winner for every NFL game in a given week.

For more hardcore fans, “SnapDraft on DISH Network” delves deeper into the strategy behind the game by giving players the opportunity to graft new teams every week using salary caps.

Both of these new games are powered by Fanball, a recognized provider of fantasy sports products and contests.

Every week of the 2010 season, DISH Network will award $500 to the player that has earned the most points in each competition. When the 2010 NFL season comes to an end, the winners of both games will each win $20,000; players in second and third places will each receive $5,000 and $2,500, respectively.

Each of those prizes would certainly pay any subscriber’s DISH Network bill well into a number of future NFL seasons.
