Which free site is preferred for redraft?

Postby meineymoe » Thu Aug 03, 2023 3:39 pm

I'm starting a work redraft league and wondering which site is easiest to use for the casual fans who may be playing for their first time.
I'm on nfl fantasy for another redraft I'm in, but have heard yahoo or espn is better.

Thoughts?

I personally think ESPN sucks. I've used yahoo for a long time. The app is solid

I hate the way ESPN set up their site, but that hate stems from many years ago. I haven't looked at their fantasy site (from owning/managing a team) in several years.

I used the NFL site once years ago, found it an unpleasant experience compared to what I'd used before, and never returned.

Most consistently over the years, I've used Yahoo and CBS Sportsline for my no-fee sites. I've been mostly pleased with both. Once CBS started a dual free/pay system, I migrated away from their services and no longer have a CBS league or team.

As long as Sleeper is only/primarily a phone app, I have ZERO interest in it. Never used it and don't plan on even checking it out.

I voted Yahoo because it works great for a casual redraft league. The people in my leagues access it from phone and/or computers and never complain about it being difficult or unwieldy. And when I branch out to other fantasy sports, Yahoo allows participants in my Yahoo leagues to easily participate in NBA fantasy, NCAA basketball pools, NHL or others. It's an easy way to keep the group (or most of it) involved year round.

I also recommend checking out FleaFlicker. I've used that for five years or so, and it works very well. And it's free.
