Fantasy Football Websites??
Does anyone here use a Fantasy Football site that they love?
I used CBS last year and it was awesome, but I was wondering if there is anything cheaper out there.
I don't want to lose the constant updates, and like to be able to set up my own rules.
Any positive or negative experiences out there??

Yahoo has a free league, but you get what you pay for. I prefer CBS. When you split the cost across 10 or 12 teams, it's a minimal charge to the league.

don't leave CBS.....you'll regret it trust me. I do believe those rip off artists at ESPN though are offering free of charge leagues this year. CBS is the bomb though. If you got 12 people in a league it's only $10/team. Don't skimp on a web site. When I switched from CBS to ESPN a few years ago, it's the worst nightmare you could ask for as Commish.

Myfantasyleague.com is a great site. Cost is $59 if you order before June 15th.

By the way, I am a commish and it is very flexible in setting up your league rule/scoring and customize your league site.

Another vote for MyFantasyLeague. I've used it for about 4 years, and it has done everything I could hope for.

And another. It's cheap and gives complete flexibility on setting your league rules.
Not a lot of frills, but then again I'd rather that the people in my league have to work a little bit to get info rather than have everything spoon-fed to them.

Glad to see there's some ff interest. FWIW, my group uses Yahoo - it's free and we don't need much more than the basics, so it works.
If anyone's interested in talking ff, check out this thread:

 Another vote.
We've also been using it for 4-5 years and it gets better every year.
The real time updates are actually very addicting. Nothing more pathetic than watching football and continuously hitting refresh on your computer.

As an added bonus, you should check out their draft tracker. It summarizes the results of all the drafts being conducted using their software. Excellent research material to prepare for your draft/auction, so you can see where everyone is going.

Great tool, but I've been emailing them for 2 years to add a filter for league size.

MyFantasyLeague has this capability. As the commissioner of my league, I handle all player transactions myself, including loading keepers. But that's just the way I chose to set it up, 'cause I'm a control freak. I'm sure the website can be configured to allow team owners to make their own keeper selections, subject to your own league's keeper rules.
