All of my leagues are with ESPN and have been for years. I did a league on Yahoo! back in ~2005 but I'm sure Yahoo's is much different now (if they even still offer fantasy). ESPN works (and it is nice to have all my leagues in one spot), but I feel like there are/should be sites that have more to offer. I tried to look into CBSsports paid leagues before last season but couldn't find much info.

What site do you use? Pros/cons? How is it different than ESPN?

I use RT Sports for all my leagues. It's pretty solid but you have to pay for it.

I use yahoo. My main league has been using it for 8 or 9 years so far. It's pretty cool because you can track stats of people's teams over the whole time that we've been there. League has the same core of 6 people the whole time. Others have come and gone. I have no complaints about yahoo, and not wanting to lose those stats has kept us from seeing if there is anything better out there.

I like having the history too. You can see all your past medals.

Of course, Yahoo once cost me a league championship with a technical glitch in week 2. They had some kind of issue where nobody in my league could change their lineups. As a result of not being able to change my lineup, I lost that matchup by 3 points. I missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker. I had the highest score in the league the first week of playoffs but it was wasted on the consolation ladder. Then I had a higher score than either team in the championship game, so I would have won the whole thing

But if you had won week 2 would you then have made all of the same moves to put your team in the position it was in come playoff time??

Yahoo really needs to add a top 6 bottom 6 scoring format. I'm not sure why they haven't yet, it can't be that hard.

Yahoo is easily the best IMO, it gets better and better every year and the phone app is top notch.

I've been plaing since 1993, went electronic in the late 90s and been commish of a league for 16 years and this is my favorite. CBS Sportline was for a while, but got entirely too expensive.
