Fantasy 411: AOL Fantasy Sports

The fantasy sports coverage on AOL was definitely much weaker then I expected.  AOL's main fantasy sports page currently is only covering fantasy football.  With football being the most popular fantasy sport taking place currently, AOL certainly should have most of its content focused on it.  However, it is disappointing for fantasy basketball owners and hockey owners a like that no coverage is focused on basketball or hockey.  The page layout is also quite weak for AOL fantasy sports.  The page contains a large number of ads that clutter the page as well as a great deal of lead text and few, small pictures for each of the articles.  The amount of text and ads on the fantasy sports page makes for a bland and boring layout.  With all the bad aspects of AOL's fantasy sports coverage being noted, it is also important to note the good aspects of AOL's fantasy sports page.  AOL fantasy sports offers fantasy football for free with both public and custom leagues.  AOL's fantasy page also has an interactive weekly poll for fantasy gamers to vote on which player they believe will have the best fantasy week at a specific position.  With such little fantasy content, AOL Fantasy sports page is certainly not a must visit site, my recommendation is to visit one of the other fantasy web sites previously critiqued.
