FSB Daily 1/14: ESPN, FF Trader, Minor Leagues, African Soccer
A roundup of items recently posted on the FSB News page.
– ESPN Digital Media reportedly enjoyed a big year in 2009, including increased numbers in fantasy traffic. The fantasy football user base reportedly grew by 36 percent and brought a 38-percent rise in time spent there. Those numbers were dwarfed, however, by growth from the partnership with NBA.com that generated 63 percent more fantasy basketball users and a 162-percent increase in time spent on those pages over the same period the year before.
– Fantasy Football Trader is looking for a couple of football writers to contribute through the off-season.
– Some fantasy baseball diehards track the progress of minor-league prospects to get a jump on the expected value once those guys hit the majors. Those who are really committed, though, can put their minor-league knowledge to the test in Box Baseball’s new fantasy game.
– All set for the Orange Africa Cup of Nations soccer tournament but wondering where you can get your fantasy hookup? Wonder no more.
