The Bad

• Short time in the business
• Lacking gameplay
• Issues with mobile map

That being said, the NFL's fantasy football platform has only been around for about six years; consequently, NFL.com lacks some key gameplay qualities of some of its more experienced competitors. While customers have been generally pleased with NFL.com Fantasy Football, several have run into connectivity and responsiveness issues on the NFL's fantasy football mobile app. And though the app still provides plenty of access to the NFL's vast network of experts, certain gameplay features such as a mock draft are not included, and its live scoring component is slowed by an overabundance of ads.

The Bottom Line

The NFL Network continues to be one of the most reliable sources for fantasy football information and analysis. Its fantasy football products and shows provide users with a set of standard features that fans have come to expect from a reputable fantasy football provider. And though it has not been in the fantasy football game for as long as some of its competitors, the NFL is actively responding to industry trends and customer feedback to provide users with a better fantasy football experience.
