Fantasy Football

August 8, 2008 7:25 AM

I am looking for a quality free fantasy football site that offers a live draft where I can adjust the drafting to allow each player to take 24 hours to pick. Essentially an email draft. AOL has one but I abhor AOL and will only use them as a last resort. I like Yahoo's fantasy football interface but they don't offer an email type draft.

I don't know at all if they would have what you're looking for, but to offer some sort of suggestion you might check out fanball.com. They have a pretty wide range of fantasy options, including free ones. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure they operate the AOL leagues. Don't know how that affects your decision making.

I think Yahoo does have an offline option that would allow you to run the draft anyway you want. It probably would require you as the commish to manually update the teams, although logging in every couple of days to update the rosters probably wouldn't be that bad.

Never used their system, but EA Sports has a free game with e-mail drafts as one of the types available. No idea how flexible the timeframe for each pick is.

CBS Sportsline allows you to do this with the paid version of their commissioner software. You should check into seeing if they allow it in the free version.
