About ESPN Fantasy

Wikipedia's ESPN, LLC page also lists Hearst at 18% and the NFL at 10%, with 9,464 employees in 2024 in Bristol, Connecticut.

The App Store listing, sold by Disney Electronic Content, Inc., rates ESPN Fantasy Sports & More 4.8 out of 5 from 2 million ratings. Version 9.10.1 is dated August 6 2026, 156.3 MB, iOS 17.0.

What the time series shows

The 261-week Google Search series for espn fantasy is a repeating late-summer spike, flooring near 2 through June then climbing through 7 on July 25 2026, 10 on August 1, 16, 21, and 30 on August 22. Last year the same stretch hit 50 the week of August 23 2025, then 100 on September 6 2025. Earlier September peaks were 92, 74, 79, and 68 in 2024 through 2021.

Four labels are derived from that series. growth_label is exploding because 30-day change is +328.57% and 90-day change is +650.0%. speed_label is exponential because the latest 30-day absolute move (30 minus 7 equals 23) is more than twice the prior 30-day move (7 minus 3 equals 4). seasonality_label is high on yearly September peaks. volatility_label is average; last-52 week-over-week sample standard deviation is 34.49%. The exploding tag is a low-base draft climb. Early September still has room if 2026 follows 2025.
