2011 NFL Schedule: Lockout Fantasy Football Options

On the 36th day of the NFL lockout, Roger Goodell dangled a carrot in the form of the 2011 NFL regular season schedule.

The juicy NFL opener between the New Orleans Saints at the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers looks really sexy on paper. However, if the league and the players don't come to an agreement, on paper will be its final resting place.

In the meantime, NFL fans have a few options here at Whatifsports.com while multi-millionaires bicker with multi-billionaires. As you scroll down the 2011 NFL schedule week-by-week, pictures on the right side will allow you to test drive our NFL SimMatchup, NFL Dream Team and SimLeague Football simulation games.

NFL SimMatchup gives you the opportunity to simulate any two teams head-to-head even if they aren't from the same era for FREE.

NFL Dream Team plops you into a draft day war room and places the general manager hat on your head. You can build your all-time NFL roster by selecting any NFL player in history from 1941-2010.

SimLeague Football is an online football simulation game that puts you in the dual role of GM and head coach. Build a team of stars from throughout NFL history. Want to spend your money on the running game? How about a backfield of Payton and Sanders? Do you like to air it out? How about Brady with Moss and Rice at wide receiver? You can do it all!
