I've never actually participated in any fantasy competitions, so I can't really give you a good answer.,

The big opportunity for DraftKings is that they are moving into online gambling, which is now legal in the U.S. My guess is that post-COVID-19 a lot of people are going to be more inclined to place a bet online rather than hang out in a Vegas sports parlor.

I am going try to put up a DraftKings board before the deal closes.

That is an interesting question

<<<How is the virus impacting fantasy sports ?>>>

With all live sports in a prolonged pause those Fantasy leagues are on pause.
BUT
In the gaming world we now have people watching TELEVISED gaming.
Not just the shoot'm up games.
Think Drone racing
The Professional Race CarDrivers are doing this as well.

elevensportsusa.com

The FIFA (Soccer) Game has leagues made up of the top gamers.
There is some real munee involved.

I just asked my 19 year old son about this.

"There are players with YouTube channels that make A LOT of money"

They have a ton of subscribers and draw advertising.

I then asked if there is gambling on players and teams of players.

"Yes."

Cheers,
