Web site rankings for fantasy football (1 Viewer)

[omegamaulers]

Just curious if anyone has ever run across a site that actually ranks fantasy football web sites in terms of content, popularity, information etc, for the average fantasy football user?? A sort of who's who amongst the various sites??

Interesting, never saw that site before. Though can't say I'd put any stock in his rankings when it's clear from his comments he doesn't get concepts like VBD. I mean, take the comment about preferring Stud RB over VBD. That's like saying, "I prefer things falling down over Newton's gravitational equations." They aren't mutually exclusive. VBD explains why Stud RB works in common league setups. It isn't exclusive of it.

alexa.com is a great source for site popularity.

for example, in their Top > Sports > Fantasy > Football > Resources > Player Rankings and Cheatsheets category, a little site named "footballguys.com" is ranked #1.

 

[J R]

Hmmm...already 2 sites with different rankings. How do I know which one is most accurate? Does anyone know of any sites that rank the sites that rank fantasy football sites?

 

[buster c]

While VBD may work in some cases, Bryant's own mediocre past showings in FanEx (back to back 7-7 records in 2001-2002 and they bailed in 2003) show that it is far from an ideal drafting strategy.

I find it funny that the graphics/font style used are exactly the same as the old FFMastermind site. And it's also interesting that the site has ranked FFMastermind #1 for about 7 years in a row now. Also a tad interesting that the website has an AOL address so that information tools like whois.org can not find out who is beyond the site.I think objective does not decribe this site at all. We did not even rank as a top ten website one year. Very funny stuff that will people will do to try and gain some kind of edge on us.

Insights has taken a cue from FF Mastermind and is producing premium off-season reports.

Their Instant Insights AP News feature lags when compared to FF Mastermind's "Quick Bits".

As for their premium items, they are good, but still come up a bit short when compared to FF Mastermind.

and even offensive lines ratings (something we've seen only at FF Mastermind).

It discounts anything else really being commented on. A cheesy way to drum up business for their site.

Interesting to see that FBG's has the top spot in 3 of his categories, Fantasy Football Info, Fantasy Football News, and Forums.

Thanks for the link. I'll be sure to get that out to all of the other owners in my league.

[buddyboy]

Here is a different site that does a better job ranking FF sites. http://www.footballdocs.com/fantasy_sites.html

Football Guys is the only FF information site I pay money to, so obviously I disagree with the rankings provided by the 1st link I posted.

 

[Slinger]

Heck, Cheatsheet.net from way back when beats most of the other FF sites.

No way CBS is #1. I have used their league management service for 8 years but I do not use any of their FF info.

He's right to have CBS #1, because he listed them alphabetically. If you note, FBG's has the highest ranking. CBS had 4 Excellent and 3 Good rankings... FBG's had by far the best with 6 Excellent and 1 Good ranking.

Nice call Greg. FBG content is cleary tops -- list alphabetical. The easiest way to settle this is for all the guys without girlfriends to keep projections/rankings from each site every year and then compare at the end. Do this for about 5 years to give us a good average, then make a website and rank. As for other "link"/voting sites listed, good for learning about other sites, but I inherently don't trust "voting" sites 'cause you don't know the intelligence of your fantasy football audience. If FBG had a members only voting, then it is getting better by quality control but still corruptable. Long story long, really depends on person to person... Having said that and back to the link above, I will say I like the rankings/projections at Footballdocs. I use them with FBG and a tad of (gasp) FFtoday. Footballdocs absolutely nailed a lot of the defenses last year, and seems to be pretty good quality control on projections.

A final comment: I always typically trust sites that do projections with their rankings. It allows you to see the logic in their madness, as well as pier into their credibility a llittle more. It takes more time do do projections (thanks David BTW -- nice work) and I guess those sites leave themselves open for more criticism (again, thanks David for sticking to your guns), but you can see how "credible" these sites are in your own mind. Long story long, that's why I use the sites I use because IMO they are credible.

If I didn't already agree with Dodds and Joe's view that the Shark Pool is better when left open to non-subscribers, seeing this would probably have convinced me.

Funny, I'd swear I've seen OL rankings here. And if their "Quick Bits" releases NFL news faster than this board, I'll eat my own foot.

What you say about VBD might be true. I just don't feel the need to go through that much work to draft. I listen, I discuss, I follow my drafting scheme, and VBD just seems to get in the way. The results are so similar to how I end up ranking, it just doesn't seem to be worth the effort. I will always take my gut over mathmatical based analysis!
