ESPN is named the “Worldwide Leader in Sports” and their fantasy football app is the leader in the fantasy football realm if you ask me.

It’s Tuesday and ESPN is conducting its league draft among analysts currently live on the platform led by Field Yates. He currently serves as an NFL Insider at ESPN where he provides NFL and fantasy football insight. With that being said today I want to share with you why I prefer their app for my leagues every season.

I have been playing fantasy football since 2009. My first league was on the Yahoo platform. In addition, I have utilized the NFL’s app over a couple of seasons to boot.

ESPN is the premier app. It only makes cents that the “Worldwide Leader in Sports!” With almost 2 million teams now drafted on the platform, this analyst’s league is kicking off things the right way.

The ESPN app is available on both iOS and Android Operating Systems. Its sleek easy to use and navigate platform makes it so easy for first-time players to understand.

What I like about it most is setting up and getting your league started only takes a few clicks. After that, you simply share invites with friends and family who want to join your league.

With 14 years experience of playing fantasy football this season, I want to share my thoughts, tips, and strategies. The first place to start would be the platform I prefer to host my leagues!

I know there are plenty of platforms to choose from but I like to keep it mainstream. ESPN has recently teamed up with the IBM Trade Analyzer for roster efficiency this season!

ESPN Fantasy Football will once again feature insights from IBM Watson, including in-depth player comparison and projection tools, player performance insights, and the IBM Trade Analyzer to help users craft their best roster throughout the season.

From seasoned players who will help craft our discussion here this season to brand-new rookies playing their first season. My goal is to cover the fantasy football industry and share it with you this season.

If you utilize the ESPN app for your leagues please be sure to follow me today. I will be going in-depth on the ESPN app each week.

The best place to start? Getting your mock drafts on in the ESPN app. Practice makes perfect, right? See you in the mock draft rooms until next week.
