Experience and Proven Track Record
TWELVE YEARS! That's right, The Huddle has been a full service fantasy football web site for 12 years. Since 1997 The Huddle has been the leading online fantasy football destination and our goal has remained the same - provide fantasy football fanatics everywhere with the best fantasy football resource on the Internet. On top of that we strive to be one of the most affordable online services. The Huddle is only $26.95 for complete access (only $23.95 for returning members). A small price to pay for full access to The Huddle's industry leading and award winning information now all the way through the Super Bowl.
The general managers and principle contributors to The Huddle, David Dorey and Whitney Walters, have been fantasy football junkies since 1990. Many of the site's writers not only share David's and Whitney's experience, but also their level of commitment and passion for fantasy football. If they didn't live and breath fantasy football, they wouldn't be on staff.
When FoxSports.com was launching their fantasy football coverage in 1999 - The Huddle was who they called to be the sole provider of all their fantasy football content.
When BradyGames, a division of the largest publisher in the world - Pearson, wanted to enter the fantasy sports industry in 2004 with a high quality fantasy football magazine - The Huddle was their choice to author the publication. The result was the Fantasy Football Handbook, WINNER of the 2006 Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) Awards for the best magazine in the industry.
When the Internet Sports Awards were the premier recognition service for the fantasy football industry from 1996 to 2002 - The Huddle took home the award for the #1 Fantasy Football Web Site for FIVE YEARS in a row. Rumor has it that the ISA couldn't stand giving The Huddle another #1 award so they closed up shop after 2002.
The Huddle was a top finalist in the 2006 FSTA Awards for the Best Online Service. The Huddle was also the WINNER of the 2006 FSTA Award for Best Draft Kit. The FSTA Awards are the highest honor in the fantasy sports industry and we are very proud of The Huddle's win.
