Summary: ESPN gives life to the humorous side of fantasy football. It has a lot of known experts that provide witty commentary, unique insight, and odd categories. It hurts itself by focusing too much on comedy at times and not enough on fantasy analysis. But there’s a lot to read and is definitely different in its approach.
Positives: ESPN had some of the most innovate fantasy analysis we saw this year. It also featured unique charts and graphs, and a fantastic NFL team profile section.
Negatives: The fantasy articles could have been better, however, and there were no expert consensus rankings to speak of.
