I've used all the following:
Yahoo
ESPN
CBS Sportsline
NFL.com
AOL Fleaflicker
Sandbox, NBC
Of those the only one I really don't like is CBS Sportsline. They have a clumsy draft interface, cheesy roster limitations, and it's just cumbersome to use.
Sandbox was my favorite before they were acquired, followed by Yahoo.
ESPN's is easy, but we found it suffers from server traffic and is locked up more frequently.
In short, none is perfect, but Yahoo, Fleaflicker and Sandbox (in that order) each are just fine.
Pay sites really aren't worth it unless you want to go for a cash prize as in CBSSportsline.
A $12.95 upgrade in Yahoo gets you a decent draft kit and Stat Tracker which I really enjoy. Yahoo's free leagues are adequate for most people.
There is a new site that is completely free called ecouchcoach.com and it has live scoring and is very customizable. I would suggest checking it out for the serious fantasy football players. It allows redraft leagues, keeper leagues, and dynasty leagues. It gives alot of power to administrators also so you can really customize your league. Best of all its all free. I used to pay the fees on Yahoo and ESPN but i tried ecouchcoach for one year and I am very pleased about it.
No the pay sites aren't worth it. Personally I think the best sites around... in order:
2. Yahoo (if you pay the 10 dollars for live scoring)
3. CBS Sportsline
I really like the Yahoo fantasy football setup.
It is easy to use, fast, and has a lot of extras.
The $10 is well worth it.
I have used Sportsline for 7 years and could not be happier. Flexible scoring (waaay better than ESPN), solid information, great feedback from owners. Nothing compares.
i'd say yahoo and espn for beginners
myfantasyleague.com, fleaflicker, for more established leagues...
I signed up for fantasy football on Nfl.com and it's extremely easy.
ESPN is my favorite
