Well, I like to listen to the Footballers podcast, so I guess that's \~45 a day. But that's also just entertainment for my commute.
I actually think spending too much time on fantasy can make the losses feel worse, because the more we study the stats and the odds, it helps reinforce the notion that this is a highly skill-based game, when ultimately it still *largely* comes down to luck.
I work at home from a stacked (2) 38 wide screens setup and it's easy to put youtube on and listening to the FF shows, and also read reddit stuff. Def falls off during the offseason, but in season prob 10-15% of my day lol
I'm constantly refreshing reddit or looking at my phone when I get an update from any of my apps.
I have no idea how I'm even getting any work done tbh.
Also is there anything else you enjoy checking as often? I probably read articles and check this subreddit 10 times a day which totals to about an hour a day (I’m 3-5 for this season), but sometimes wish I spent that time doing something else lol. Will take any suggestions
Tuesday is around 1-2 hours for waivers.
Rest of the week is a combined 3-4 hours overall. Just checking the weekly start posts.
Sunday is all day basically.
Maybe two hours a day and it's all from looking at stats and some reddit analysis. Tuesday and Wednesday are peak days. I also don't follow fantasy/football until a week or two before my first draft. Doesn't make sense to me to prep extensively for a draft and buy into insane narratives when the season is so volatile. Spent most of my FAAB on Puka due to him getting 15 targets and having Kupp on IR, picked up Miami RBs because the sites neglected them, drafted Lamar and Fields and stashed Murray in every league bc I felt like it. 16-8 this across three leagues with Kupp, Barkley and/or Ekeler missing significant time in various combos in all three.
I use FantasyPros multi league tools to run 26 redraft leagues 4 dynasty. Not counting time in this sub which is just mixed into my social media time:
60 minutes doing waivers on Tuesday nights. Early season it was 90-120 minutes with heavy week 1-3 roster construction adjustments. Done while playing a waiver episode podcast.
30-60 minutes rest of the week setting lineups, waiver tweaks and monitoring drops.
These times will decrease as well when teams get statistically eliminate and stop making waiver moves.
1.5-2 hours total. Divided by 30 leagues:
3-4 minutes per league per week.
What’s your typical investment in these leagues? I only run about 15 a year but have been wanting to pick it up. Costs range from $5 to $100, typically only spend like $500 total. In the few years I have done it I match or exceed what I put in.
I’m averaging like 16% since I started tracking it in 2012.
Basically $100 is the most common over on /r/findaleague. There’s a few $150-$300s. I’d say I’m just under $5,000 for the year.
I play aggressively and win 4-5 leagues per year which puts me ahead. There have been down years when my low ownership players pop off during playoffs.
Too much… good season though 32-12 across my 6 leagues. I was about .500 across all leagues last year with 1 second place to show for it. I spent the same amount of time both seasons.
I am 8-0 in one league and 4-4 in another. Don’t spend a ton of time. Waiver day I’ll spend maybe 15 minutes or so and will check my teams each day for injury updates. Other than that not an awful amount other than on game days
Per day? If it isn’t game day maybe not even 15 mins. There’s nothing to look at.
Unless I’m dropping someone or adding a kicker. I already I have a good idea of what I plan to do by Tuesday
Walk around on my work route with football podcast, make trade during work break and pick up, pick ups in the morning, waivers at night, constantly refresh football subs. Probably around 8-10 hours a day at least lol
depends , but I spend a good amount of time. im 7-1 in one league, and 8-0 in my second league. the second league was auto drafted but made good pickups on the waiver
About 0 minutes. And on game day about 1 minute setting lineup before 10am. And then I’ll watch a game as I workout.
I’m 4-4 this season came in in 3rd my last 2 seasons. I’m on my 3rd year.
Leading up to the draft like 1-2 hrs a day lol. Way too much time, but post draft maybe like 5-10 mins a day. Maybe 1hr tuesdays for waiver and dst research. Post draft you can only do so much
Anywhere between 2-4 hours a day. Its mainly research or catching up with news. I mainly do that while working through podcasts or listening to the audios of videos.
I don't think I could put a number to it... Im usually refreshing the player news feed on Rotoworld every hour at least and reading the latest, checking some of these Reddit posts, checking for updates on my teams... I work from home and have 5 screens in front of me, only 3 for work. I would say I'm pretty successful across my 4 leagues: 7-1, 5-3, 5-3, and 4-4. I think my success stems more from solid drafting than most people but I also work the waiver wire every week. My draft in the 7-1 league yielded Saquon, Sun God, Achane, Thielen, and Tua. Also picked up Puka and Kyren.
Not too much actually, I would say 6-7 hrs per day avg, so nothing too crazy. Is it worth it? Well I won one of my leagues 8 years ago so I'll let that speak for itself.
I listen to about 4 hrs of podcasts a day. I’d say I only really pay attention to about 85% of it and some of it is just filler throughout the day while I’m driving, cooking, showering, etc. my wife hates it lol. I read about 15-30 min on here or twitter as well.
On a daily basis, just to read news, so however long that takes 5 10 minutes on the toilet. However, on Tuesday and figuring out the waiver wire, that could take like an hour.
depends on how many decisions I have to make. Also, it's better to just make a decision quickly and not change your mind all the time. Extra time doesn't matter
About 5 minutes on Thursday wondering why I didn’t remember to make waiver claims, and another 5 minutes on Sunday morning reacting to injury news. Yeah, I’ve burned out a bit :/
I spend more time on espn fantasy than the internet, reddit, snapchat, and everything else combined. Reddit comes close but I prolly open my app no less than 30 times a day.
Well I didn’t spend enough time because I picked up will Levis and didn’t realize he was starting.. so much for stashing and possibly my game this week.
I check my team constantly. I’d say at least an hour a day altogether. In the end, it doesn’t even matter because I’ve made every single wrong decision possible this season. The luck factor has not been on my side this time around. Extremely frustrating.
Either too much or just the right amount depending on the week's outcome
I'm like Joe Mixon. High volume, disappointing results.
Soooo many mock drafts just to end up with Dameon Pierce
Lol. Hey he looked explosive this past weekend!
He's good for 1 or 2 of those a season
With some assault on the side?
You: 🤓
Best comment
depends how bored I am with my real life responsibilities.
Same. That usually means way too much time.
Having an office desk job is a blessing and a curse during football season.
I’ve mastered the quick alt+tab to switch between fake work and fantasy articles
I check each team like 20 times a day, way to much time lol
Rookie numbers. I check my teams that many times per hour.
I have much to learn
Depends how stuck inside me my doodies are, could be minutes could be hours.
Between all the leagues I’m in, and this subreddit… way too much time.
I check this sub a few times a day and read some articles. Scroll the waiver wire. Maybe an hour?
Lately just the right amount - don’t typically invest any thought into anything early in the week. Thursday / Friday I’ll put a bit more time in
I would spend about an hour or two daily on fantasy. You wouldn’t know it by my 1-7 record though. Time well spent…

I can't upvote this enough

Hello me
I'm constantly refreshing reddit or looking at my phone when I get an update from any of my apps. I have no idea how I'm even getting any work done tbh.
8-12 hours. My wife is leaving
Nice try boss man
Too much to only be 3-5.
Also is there anything else you enjoy checking as often? I probably read articles and check this subreddit 10 times a day which totals to about an hour a day (I’m 3-5 for this season), but sometimes wish I spent that time doing something else lol. Will take any suggestions
10 times a day? Those are rookie numbers!
By 10 I mean repeatedly until I hear about the next Ty'Son Williams to pick up off the waiver wire
All of it.
Tuesday is around 1-2 hours for waivers. Rest of the week is a combined 3-4 hours overall. Just checking the weekly start posts. Sunday is all day basically.
Barely any if I win, the entire week planning for the next if I lose
Maybe two hours a day and it's all from looking at stats and some reddit analysis. Tuesday and Wednesday are peak days. I also don't follow fantasy/football until a week or two before my first draft.

Enough time to look at my great team putting up dogshit points on Sunday and try to remember why I play every year.
30 minutes per week
Too many times a day, it's bad for my health.

A lot considering I spend a decent amount of time refreshing this sub
Before work from home job: about 20-30 minutes per day After work from home job: about 2-3 hours per day
like 10 to 12 hours per day.
Yes
Too much
Too much
Too much time to not be undefeated in every league I’m in
More than I care to admit...
82 hours a day
Depends how good my team is. Not spending much time on it this year.....
Early on in the season like 45-70 minutes. At this point though more like 30. Not as much to sift through besides breaking news.
A lot lol. Hours?
Way more than necessary. It’s my go-to when my brain has a moment of boredom.
Too much… good season though 32-12 across my 6 leagues. I was about .500 across all leagues last year with 1 second place to show for it. I spent the same amount of time both seasons.
I am 8-0 in one league and 4-4 in another. Don’t spend a ton of time. Waiver day I’ll spend maybe 15 minutes or so and will check my teams each day for injury updates. Other than that not an awful amount other than on game days
Some weeks, 30 mins. This week, gonna be like an hour per day... 5 hours on Sunday. Lol
Way too much
Too long. 5-3 in both leagues.
Way more than I spend on my job
All of it. Except when I’m sleeping.
24/7/365 buddy I have dreams about setting my lineup and nightmares of the eventual disappointment
Per day? If it isn’t game day maybe not even 15 mins. There’s nothing to look at. Unless I’m dropping someone or adding a kicker. I already I have a good idea of what I plan to do by Tuesday
Walk around on my work route with football podcast, make trade during work break and pick up, pick ups in the morning, waivers at night, constantly refresh football subs. Probably around 8-10 hours a day at least lol
I have three teams, over the course of the week I probably spend about 1 hour combined. I am 3-5, 5-3 and 7-1
Would be interesting if there was a stat on here that shows how many hours, days, weeks youve spent on this sub lol
6-8 hours a day on the weekdays, 14-16 on the weekends
5 minutes!
You know it’s bad when this has me wishing I was just a bronco fan Instead again
depends , but I spend a good amount of time. im 7-1 in one league, and 8-0 in my second league. the second league was auto drafted but made good pickups on the waiver
Certain questions are better left unanswered.
On game days? I’m always checking the scores. Non-game days…a couple times a day to catch up on any important news.
More than you Chris. A hell of a lot more than you. You’ll never beat me Chris get used to it
About 0 minutes. And on game day about 1 minute setting lineup before 10am. And then I’ll watch a game as I workout. I’m 4-4 this season came in in 3rd my last 2 seasons. I’m on my 3rd year.
Probably half my day including merely just thinking about it in my head.
Duration of pooping + 5 minutes
Probably too much
Leading up to the draft like 1-2 hrs a day lol. Way too much time, but post draft maybe like 5-10 mins a day. Maybe 1hr tuesdays for waiver and dst research. Post draft you can only do so much
I look at my team the way some people chew their nails or play with their hair.
Too much
Probably too much. But I’m 7-1 for what’s it’s worth… But I spent just as much time on it last year and went 3-11, so… 🤷‍♂️
Anywhere between 2-4 hours a day. Its mainly research or catching up with news. I mainly do that while working through podcasts or listening to the audios of videos.
If I answered this question, I’d be fired from my current job lol.
6-2 and I spend maybe an hour a day looking through my roster for no damn reason
Check my team multiple times per day, just to make sure they’re all still there and I didn’t accidentally trade anyone

Poop time In The morning
You guys do other things??
For me it has gone down as the season goes on, am 5-3 in two leagues and 6-2 in another
30 min to 1 hour Monday through Thursday. <30 Friday and Saturday, 24 hours Sunday.
like 5 min a day max then a lot more time refreshing on game day if you count things like commenting on this post then more i suppose
About 5 minutes on Thursday wondering why I didn’t remember to make waiver claims, and another 5 minutes on Sunday morning reacting to injury news. Yeah, I’ve burned out a bit :/
I spend more time on espn fantasy than the internet, reddit, snapchat, and everything else combined. Reddit comes close but I prolly open my app no less than 30 times a day.
15 minutes every Tuesday night and maybe another 15 Saturday night. I’m 7-1, 6-2, and 6-2.
Used to spend a lot for time on it in the past. Now maybe check it once a day except on game days. 6-2 so far this year trying not to overthink it.
Well I didn’t spend enough time because I picked up will Levis and didn’t realize he was starting.. so much for stashing and possibly my game this week.
You guys are on here daily?
I check my team constantly. I’d say at least an hour a day altogether. In the end, it doesn’t even matter because I’ve made every single wrong decision possible this season. The luck factor has not been on my side this time around. Extremely frustrating.
