FootballGuys help grade fantasy football teams

Around this time of year if you go to football chat boards or fantasy football sites on facebook you’ll frequently see folks asking for opinions on their teams.

One facebook friend of mine in the industry has a couple dozen such questions just under one post – despite a note on his page saying he doesn’t have time to comment on fantasy football questions on facebook.

One of his friends today posted a comment to his site advising people to check out the website of www.fantasyfootballguys.com for assistance in grading teams. I thought it would probably be one of these two sentence deals where they said “nice team” or “better luck next year.”

I was wrong.

I entered two of the teams I was involved in drafting this weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see a five page report generated that I was able to see on the site and have emailed to me. It included analysis by position, advice on free agents that might be available to replace some of the rosters’ sub-par players, recent news hits and other useful information.

Plus, there are four people doing rankings, so you can click on another link to get three more reports.

I’m not going to say I agreed with everything they said. But it was nice to get some educated feedback from folks that added to the opinions I already have. They don’t know who is on the league’s other rosters. But they do let you enter your scoring systems (or close to them, anyway).

It’s not perfect. But it’s a pretty good instant analysis and a site I’ll probably revisit a few times during the upcoming season.
