Fantasy football: Our Miami Dolphins fantasy leagues are starting!
By Brian Miller
For the last 10 years, we have hosted fantasy football leagues and now, those leagues are once again starting to fill up so it’s time to plan your season!
Our fantasy football leagues come in three different formats and all of those formats are listed below. First, however, the disclaimer! These leagues are not FanSided leagues and the network is not responsible for these leagues in any way. These have been ongoing with our readers and their friends participating. ALL leagues are held on ESPN.
League Dues:
Payments for the “payout” leagues are done at Leaguesafe.com and you are required to join their site (free) and make your payment prior to the drafting of your team. League dues are refundable by request, however, if the draft order is set or in drafts where orders are set one hour prior they will not be refundable unless a replacement player can be found. All money will be refunded in the event that the league/s does not fill.
Three types of leagues – $110.00, $25.00, and one free league in 2021!!
League Types:
This year we have the following leagues, all leagues are 12 team leagues. You may join multiple leagues but you may not have more than one team in a league. In the event that it is determined that you have more than one team in any same league, you will be removed as an owner of both teams and forfeit your dues.
$110.00 league payouts:
$110.00 leagues payout at least your entry fee if you make the 6-team playoffs!
- 1st $400.00
- 2nd $300.00
- 3rd $200.00
- 4th $110.00
- 5th $110.00
- 6th $110.00

$25.00 league payouts

League information
The $110.00 league pays out to the six teams that make the postseason and the winner of the consolation bracket. The draft order is SNAKE format and the order will be randomly drawn once the league is full and all dues are paid in full.
These are PPR leagues and passing TDs are worth 6 points. It is imperative that you take the time to review scoring prior to the draft and test your system prior to the draft. NOTE: I play in each of these leagues and they tend to be competitive. There are 3 leagues this year. Two returning leagues with potential openings and one new league.
The $25.00 league uses ESPN standard scoring so please review. I will manage the league as a co-owner of one team in each league but will not make any transactions or set the roster for that team. The other owner is completely responsible for that team from draft to finish. I only co-manage to be the league manager. As such, I step in only in the case of there being an issue needing to be resolved and I handle the payouts from LeagueSafe. There is a $5.00 fee per team to manage this league which includes setting up. The payouts above include that.
There are 3 leagues with standard ESPN scoring adjusted for 6 point passing TDs and one league that is NON-PPR with 6 pt passing TDs.
These league’s draft orders will be randomly set 1 hour prior to the draft by ESPN.
Free league: This year will run two free leagues that anyone can join but please only join one and not both. If a league does not fill we can add you at that time if you wish.
Draft dates:
Please take note of these draft dates before you join. I have some flexibility with changing them ONLY in the case that every other manager can accommodate the changes.

LASTLY: In the event that a league does not fill, you will be given an option to join another league if there is room. If there is no room we will try and combine you into another league if the draft date works for you. In the event that we have more people interested than we have leagues, we will consider adding a new one.
The Leaguesafe information is located on all ESPN fantasy football pages under the LEAGUE MANAGER NOTE.
