ESPN’s fantasy football site and app aren’t working, and folks are not pleased. They will be on hand today from 11 AM to 1 PM to answer all of your questions during a free interactive chat.

Fantasy football, of course, is just one of the different games you can play – there’s fantasy basketball, fantasy baseball, fantasy hockey, fantasy golf, etc.

You won’t find a ton of well-known names on this list unless they came back out of nowhere this week (like fantasy-zombies Dennis Pitta and Victor Cruz).

With Jimmy Garoppolo starting for the Patriots, Carson Wentz behind center for the Eagles and Shaun Hill or Sam Bradford _ who really knows?

There are certainly a number of different sports websites that run fantasy leagues, but there’s no question that ESPN has the most widely-used system.

Update: ESPN has released a new update – but the outage persists. Those players are usually called fantasy football sleepers. And past year, the company reported that their ESPN Fantasy app had 7.1 million unique users, according to CNN. Last month, it announced that during a period of less than two days, as its first televised fantasy football marathon event occurred, 1.7 million teams were drafted.
