The two real juggernauts for fantasy sports are ESPN and Yahoo!. I have only had a fantasy basketball team for ESPN and did not like the format and how the match ups were displayed. For my personal needs, I want clear visual stats and what players are in what positions. For example, Yahoo! (ok that's the last time I'm gonna use an exclamation mark, I feel like Elaine right now). As I was saying Yahoo (see what I did there) has a clear and organized way of displaying your team players and there stats for each week and the season. I have heard mainly negative things about ESPN's fantasy football setup.
I have asked maybe 8 people and 7 of them said it was MUCH worse than Yahoo. The complaints against ESPN is the layout of stats and how the head to head match ups are presented. This might come as a shock because if you had to choose which website for fantasy might be more user friendly and popular among participants, most unknowingly would choose ESPN. I asked several of my "colleagues" what website they would choose and all (five) of them chose Yahoo and it was not even a question, Yahoo was the easy winner. I only asked people I trust and know that they are fantasy experts. The ESPN site was said to be messy and unflattering. That's actually the word my friend used to describe ESPN's fantasy football. When this happens, you know that ESPN just is missing something. Whatever that something is, Yahoo definitely has. If you're new to the fantasy world, I strongly recommend Yahoo.
