Fantasy Football Feature - Wisdom Of The Crowds (1 Viewer)

[Joe Bryant]

Hey Folks,

I'm excited about this new feature. Please give it a look and let us know what you think. I know this is the FFA but if you care about Fantasy Football, this hopefully will be of interest. 

Wisdom Of The Crowds

You vote on a pair of players and see the results. Then you can see rankings for the position. 

I don't know of any audience or crowd I'd put more faith in than you folks. 

Please let us know what you think.

Can I be a smart ### and just say this - it's pretty much Zuckerberg's 2003 "Facesmash" except with football players.

Should we assume it's a 12 team, PPR, start two kickers and one left tackle league?

Wait, you guys did this years ago, didn't you? I think I remember that David Dodds ran it. Was that just a beta test or something?

Yes, I remember something like this in the past.  I remember some sort of contest where you would pick a whole bunch of "who would you start" type match ups and then compare who got the most right after the games for the week had concluded.  I used to enjoy playing that.

As far as this goes, they are fun little exercises that help you think and prepare for your draft season.  I like the fact that you report results compared to the community AND compared to the staff.  It is more difficult to make choices for some of these without knowing the league and scoring parameters.  PPR or non PPR for example...

 

[Joe Bryant]

Yes, we've had this idea brewing around for a long time. We just finally got serious about 

A) Making sure the reader got value in exchange for giving us the work of voting

B) Making the math work in building out full lists. 

So it's an old thing we revived and morphed into something new.
