I Have always been in a pickle between which site I should sign up for Fantasy Football on... They both offer money and free leagues.
Which one do you guys prefer?

ive used both and each has their good parts.
i think i would say that like espn overall a little better, but every year, we always have trouble launching their draft thing. it freezes up or is too busy or something crappy like that.....
so i voted yahoo. more reliable.

NFL.com's is good. I like it better than Yahoo and ESPN.
I like Yahoo's draft more because it shows the Player and Bye Week.. ESPN's doesn't, which means you have to do a little work.

I have done yahoo fantasy drafts, espn fantasy drafts, and nfl.com fantasy drafts. I think that all of them are good, I'm more comfortable with the yahoo fantasy draft. My computer freezes during the espn drafts, and the nfl.com is good; I just stick with yahoo now.

3. ESPN
Have always used NFL.com out of preference. Yahoo if I'm invited tehre by someone, and ESPN if I was bored at one point and signed up :)

I like NFL.Com for free leagues.
But I run other money leagues using Myfantasyfootballleague.com Its my site of choice.

i chose ESPN but i'm in 2 leagues with off-line drafts so i havent faced the draft issues others have brought up which might have skewed my decision.

ive never had any draft issues w/ espn but now that i say that it will probably happen this year
I like Yahoo more, but ESPN offers free keeper leagues and it's not the worst thing to deal with.

I use ESPN which is much better than Yahoo during the season and I don't have the draft room loading issues cause I always do live drafts with friends.

Yahoo easily.
ESPN's interface isn't the best and sometimes can get mixed up. Though it has more options, it has less history and is hard to move around.
NFL.com, I played once, just horrid as a whole.
I use fanball.com and myfantasyleague.com as well.

Is fanball and myfantasyleague free? I have been doing Yahoo for years now, I love it. I somewhat like ESPN but I rarely go on it, I just do it for the free draft things.
On a tangent, I had the worst draft experience ever with mlb.com. Avoid at all costs imo.

its ****** to deal with when draft times comes up and it doesn't let anybody in to actually draft anybody....you end up with every getting a CPU drafted team with 14 running backs. i try to avoid it when i can....

No, I do real leagues on fanball, which is just like $10 for 2 leagues, and if you win, it is free next year. It has a standard set of rules which is fun.

That is my league from this past year. Think we'll be moving to Yahoo with me doing more manual labor to keep it a keeper league, but no biggy.
And really, I run a Keeper and Dynasty league on Yahoo. It isn't hard.

Ive only done yahoo and like the way it works. By the way the pole is shaping up and what most people are saying I think I will stay with yahoo.

Since I've been doing drafts online the past few years I have always used Yahoo.
I cant comment on ESPN though, I never use their site for anything.

I used yahoo and ESPN last year and I wasn't a big fan of ESPN's set up...Granted some of my bias might be due to the fact that majority of the guys in my league I talk to on yahoo, and when I was in the ESPN league it was harder to get ahold of guys to work on trade negotiations and such...Also it was formatted easier on yahoo for me to find new articles, the yahoo guys did a good job of coming out with relevent articles an news was usually up to date.
I just mainly didn't like how I couldnt get ahold of guys on ESPN ever, my yahoo league I hit most of the guys up on messenger and made things go smoother...I do yahoo every year.

If you do a keeper, I want a spot in it.

I like Yahoo more.
But that might just be because I won 2 leagues in the past 2 years :D
ESPN for free live scoring. I had no complaints about it last year, and if it doesn't freeze, its draft interface is much more in depth (i.e. STATS!) than Yahoo!

$50 my friend!
Though I am thinking of running a 20 team NFLDC redraft league this year, haha.

I thought you were doing one on Yahoo?
Shane P. Hallam
05-14-2008, 06:37 PM
Yeah, it's a $50 league though. We're just moving it to Yahoo to increase the pot.
But you'll be my first invite to the 20 team league Pubey!

Yahoo is better. I used ESPN last year for one league and in the draft it had guys like Jerry Rice, Wayne Chrebet, Ricky Williams, ect.
