How to Add a Player on ESPN Fantasy Football

ESPN Fantasy Football is one of many Web sites that provide fantasy football for free to people who wish to participate. The leagues are set up by an individual, commonly referred to as the commissioner, who then adds teams to the league organized by other participants. Points are provided to the teams based on statistical performances of the NFL players they choose to put on their teams. One feature of fantasy football is the ability to add, drop and trade players. Players can be added as often as team managers choose, provided the league does not have a transaction limit.
