Dynasty Football Reference (DFR) is a stats and analytics platform for ESPN dynasty fantasy football leagues. We help you track all-time scoring leaders, head-to-head records, complete matchup history, and more - all backed up outside of ESPN.

Create a free account, enter your ESPN league ID, then use our secure bookmark tool to sync your league data. The process takes just a few minutes and your credentials are encrypted and never stored.

Question 3

Is my league data safe with DFR?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your ESPN credentials are encrypted during the sync process and never stored on our servers. Once synced, your league data is securely backed up and only accessible to league members.

Question 4

Can my whole league use DFR?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Once one person syncs the league, all league members can create accounts and access the shared stats. The league owner can invite members directly.

Question 5

What data do you collect from ESPN?

We collect your league's matchup history, scores, rosters, and team information - the same data you see on ESPN. We don't access any personal information from your ESPN account beyond what's needed to identify your league.

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time through settings. League data remains available to other league members unless the league owner requests full deletion.

Check our pricing page for current rates. We offer both individual and league-wide plans to fit different needs.

These are AI-generated media coverage features that bring your league to life. Beat reporters write weekly recaps with hometown bias, while fan call-ins simulate sports radio drama about your league's matchups.

Question 10

My league data isn't syncing. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

First, make sure you're using the bookmark on the ESPN website while logged into your league. If issues persist, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser. Contact support if problems continue.

Question 11

I can't find my league on DFR.

Accepted Answer

Your league must be synced first. If you're joining an existing league, ask the league owner for an invite link. If you're the first from your league, you'll need to complete the sync process.
