First time subscriber, long time lurker. Couldn't pass up the great deal being offered!

I now have a mountain of info at my fingertips to filter through. So as a newb subscription where do I start?

Input from long time subscribers welcomed.

Attempts at humor expected...

 
Just joined too. Does daily info usually come out in the afternoon or later....? Some sites you see Wed stuff on Thurs and so on.... just wondering when things usually get posted.

 
First attempt at humor

Go back and read all info posted in "The Latest" on the home page Weeks 1 through 9

Let me know when you are done and we will go from there!

 
My favorite analysis is the Who's Hot section. I gives you a great view of who has been playing well recently and who has been struggling. When making trade/pick up decisions in my leagues, I always consult this as a guide.

 
One of the best tools that I have found is the myteam tool. Found here. When information pertaining to a player is published on site (Players in the news, game recaps, sleepers, upgrades/downgrades, matchup data, stat projections) it is available here.

 
The Duff Man, It must be like Christmas morning to you...

Some of the content/features I look at every week include...

1. The Game Recaps Read 'em. Learn what you didn't know about the players, their tendencies, etc.

2. Who's Hot list Some great trend info here

3. Targets leaders Targets is one of my favorite stats to keep track of. A great tool! :thumbup:

4. Top 250 by position Always good to see who's where.

5. All the matchups and strength of schedule (no link yet)

6. Passing and Rushing Matchups - My must read of the week. This here tells it all.

7. Cheatsheets and updated cheatsheets later in the week (no link yet)

8. Also be sure to check out the player pages as well as the latest news.

Best Fantasy Football site on the net :yes:

 
Strength of Scheadule is a great option out every wednesday.

For the guy asking about when info comes out, half and half. You get most of the info through out the day and the players news late a night.

It's all about the emails. You get all information faster than anyone, and for all the blackberry people out there, I get my info instantly, and i don't have to be on my computer or near one.

Good summary. I also never miss the "Waiver Wire" and "Offensive Upgrades and Downgrades." These things sum up what happened over the weekend.For entertainment and entertainment only, read Random Shots. Joe writes stuff that all of us are thinking as we watch the games. :thumbup:

 
Most important place to start:

Tell no one in your league(s) about this service and watch your climb in league dominance grow exponentially.

Assume it means 11:59PM Pacific time and you won't likely be disappointed. Some things come in earlier in the day, but much of it comes in late at night, and Dodds is on west-coast time.
 
This is really the time of year that the Strength of Schedule starts to become more predictable. Seeing the data right in front of you shows you now after 9 weeks does your player now have a good/mediocre or bad matchup by each position.

Players in the News is a must read for me and Waiver Wire Pick UPs on Monday morning. Although after you've watched the games yourself and saw the same replays a 100 times on Sunday night, it's always good to get a 2nd opinion or some validation from opinions that you trust.

 
add to the already strong lists above that the target info is extremely useful. good example is watching chad johnson cry like a girl about his involvement in the offense, only to come here and see that he's the 7th most targeted WR in the league, with 20 more targets than anyone on the bengals. also effective tool for monitoring guys who are either developing or declining.
