Looking for fantasy football leagues (locally or nationally)

I have been playing FFL since 1998. I am a gambler (typically the ponies mostly, some sports betting and poker). I don’t play FF for the betting or money aspect. I do it because I think it is fun especially in an active league.

I have played between 1 to 7 leagues every year since 1998. I find 3 leagues is the sweet spot that I like to stay at. Last year a league I was in since 2004 folded. That league had been around since the early 90s. I am in jeopardy of seeing another league that I have been in for 4 years fold this year though that one wouldn’t brake my heart as the people aren’t very active. So that would put me at 1 league. It is very good league that has active trading so hopefully it has some success for a while.

But I am looking to join some other leagues and I am open to any format. I am looking for buy-ins between $50 to $500. Ideally I would like to join 2 leagues when with a buy-in around $150 and $300 but I am more than open to anything. I just find at that $ amount people tend to be more active. Keeper or redraft is fine too.

Has anybody had success with national fantasy leagues or know of competitive local leagues with openings?


I’m not a fan of draft kings. It is ok but I like the long game. I get my instant gratification from sports betting so that is not the style I am looking for here.
