Fantasy Football


Fantasy Football Nerd is an industry veteran that has been around for a long time. The unique thing about Fantasy Football Nerd is that they not only aggregate rankings and projections, but they weight them based upon how accurate each source is. Other sites like Fantasy Pros aggregate 3rd-party rankings, but Fantasy Football Nerd applies an advanced algorithm to ensure that their consensus takes into account how accurate each source is. As far as I know, they are the only ones in the industry who do this.

They've been called the "best kept secret in fantasy football" by the New York Times and the "Cliff's Notes of the industry" by the Washington Post, and it's easy to see why. What they seem to lack in an advertising budget is more than made up for in unique and effective content. Their data is top-notch and that's ultimately what makes them one of the best options for fantasy football owners.

If you play in multiple leagues, this site is a must-have.

Cost

★★★★★

At $14.99 for the entire season, a Premium Membership to Fantasy Football Nerd is an incredible value. The only reason it's not rated a full 5 is because it's not free throughout the whole site.

One of the things that I like most about Fantasy Football Nerd is that unlike many of the other sites, they do NOT auto-renew my membership. From their website, they say:

Many websites automatically auto-renew their member subscriptions; however, Joe, the founder of FFN, always felt that auto-renewing subscriptions was in the best interest of the company but not always in the best interest of the end user. FFN enjoys a very high repeat customer percentage, but if FFN isn't working for you or you feel like you no longer need our tools and analysis, then we're not going to put the responsibility on you to cancel by automatically charging you. We respect you as our customer and will ask for your business again next year.

Imagine that? A company that respects their customers and puts them ahead of their own financial interest. That ladies and gentlemen is called INTEGRITY.

They have integration with the Amazon Echo platform which means that I can simply ask for fantasy advice or news with Alexa. No charge to use this.

Usability

★★★★★

The site is designed well and works well on mobile, but sometimes finding things can be a bit difficult.

Tools

★★★★★

Fantasy Football Nerd is one of those sites where they basically have a tool for everything including analyzers for trades, lineups, and DFS.

Their fantasy football trade analyzer is one of those tools that every fantasy player should have in their toolbox. You can customize the scoring and have them tell you who is getting the better end of a deal. Not only do they clearly tell you which side of the deal is best, they'll tell you by how much over the rest of the season. If you're a fantasy football commissioner, this kind of tool is crazy awesome.

Their Lineup Analyzer is perhaps the most advanced tool that I've seen. They support all the major platforms.

Platforms supported

The Lineup Analyzer can import rosters and search your league's waiver wire for players each week. The reason why this is better than the waiver tool offered by your league platform is due to the underlying data. Again, these guys weight their rankings and projections based upon how accurate each of their sources are. This is pretty cool. If a source is really good at projecting wide receiver performance, their projections should be more valuable than sources that aren't. Other sites like Fantasy Pros aggregate but they treat everyone's rankings the same.

Waiver Wire

Working the waiver wire can often help us win our leagues. For those who participate in multiple leagues, Fantasy Football Nerd is awesome. One of the features that I absolutely fell in love with was their Free Agent Finder. I play in several leagues, so when I hear about an injury and I need to see if the backup player is available, I head over to the Nerd site, put the player's name in, and search. They search all of my leagues and then tell me whether or not the player is available. That saves me a ton of time!!

Overall Value

★★★★★

When you look around at the other sites on the market, Fantasy Football Nerd is an insane value.

Customer Service

★★★★★

I emailed them at 10:30 pm on a Friday night about their Lineup Analyzer not working for me and got a response from them in 10 minutes. Now, I don't expect that to happen all the time, but these guys really seem to live their job. The Lineup Analyzer wasn't working because I forgot that I had changed my ESPN password but forgot to update it on the Fantasy Football Nerd site (my bad). They cleared out my credentials and I was good to go.
