Are big money leagues really worth it?

I'm just curious to see, as more NFFCers play WCOFF (if they do, that is), what the results actually end up showing.

You didn't happen to land a #1 overall pick in your WCOFF league this year, did you?

(hint: I already know the answer) Yes I did, for the first time in the 5 years of WCOFF and 3 years of NFFC. And I made the best of it, at least for the first 11 weeks.

if i wanted it bad enough, the wcoff title would have a good probability of ending up in my hands within a couple years.

You're not the only one.

There really never should be a debate of whether there are better fantasy football players in the NFFC or the WCOFF or at Fantasy Jungle or at UFS. Bottom line is that most of the entrants in those die-hard leagues have the discretionary income and the passion and the knowledge to compete with anyone. They truly are the best players in the country because they are the most dedicated players.

But in any given year, any one of our guys can win it all. It's the nature of the beast in fantasy football.

I think that over the last three years the NFFC has differentiated itself more and more from the WCOFF, almost to the point where I don't see us as competitors. I mean, seriously, if you love 12-team formats and love Vegas on the first weekend of the NFL season and love the higher fees, there is a great option. If you love the 14-team format, KDS, 3RR, no other fees, and great customer service you'll stick with the NFFC. If you have the means and the time to do both, you'll do both. But both games are actually more different today than they were in 2004.

I don't see a need to say 'either/or' when it comes to our two contests. Find the one that fits and compete in it, or do both if you can. We're both getting bigger and better each year and if anything it makes it tougher for a third competitor to come into this space. Neither one of us are going away, that's for sure.
