Those who are in high low fantasy football leagues, is ESPN the best and easiest place to set up the league? I dont believe yahoo allows for high/low, although that's the one I'm most used to.

What do you guys use?

if im not mistaken for ESPn you have to essentially run a normal scoring league then just go in and change it weekly to the high/low manually. That being said I have yet to do it myself so I could be wrong. But I think that's what I was told last year when I almost made a league like that

That is how we are doing it in the ESPN league that I am in. I do not know if there is any app that actually does it as part of the built in function.

What exactly is a high/low league?

No head to head matchups. Each week the league's top half of scorers get a win, and the bottom half of scorers get a loss. Idea being that you eliminate the bad luck of being like the second highest scorer for a week and still losing because you happened to be matched up against that week's high scorer.

Damn that seems pretty cool.. not sure I'd abandon the regular format completely, but I wouldn't mind trying that out once


I'm probably in the minority, but I actually like the ups and downs of H2H matchups.. makes the shittalking much more interesting

Are you just part of the league, or do you make the changes every week? Wondering what site is easiest to make the changes and how exactly you do it? Do you just switch the schedule manually every week to make the highest scoring teams play the lowest so that it keeps the correct records?

Is it? I just briefly looked at it because it was mentioned in this thread. What's bad about it?

You know how yahoo gives you descriptions to read on injuries, or just details in general? I'm assuming ESPN and NFL does this as well.

Flea flicker says, "Drew Brees injured hamstring in practice, injury appears to be ....." Have to pay to see the rest.
