One of the oldest and most respected fantasy sports services on the Internet, delivering the most innovative strategies, perspectives, predictions, player projections, and cool web-based tools on the market since 1995.
Results
No company has dominated the industry's "Expert Leagues" and pools better than us, with 16 league titles total. Fantasyguru.com subscribers won WCOFF in 2006, came in 2nd in 2007, as well as RotoBowl and 2nd place overall in the NFFC. These four readers alone won $270,000 in '06-'07.
Credentials
The first fantasy football website to provide content for ESPN.com back in 1996, and regularly seen and heard on NFL Network, Sirius NFL Radio, Comcast Sportsnet, and many more media outlets since then. The most "connected" fantasy sports service around that interacts with NFL players, coaches, analysts, agents, and insiders to give subscribers the inside scoop.
With so many sources to choose from, credibility is a very important factor when choosing a fantasy service. We contend that NO fantasy site or service can match us in terms of longevity, credibility, and professionalism, and our track record. We’ve been publishing since 1995, an eternity in the fantasy industry. In 2017, we’re celebrating our 23rd year in business, and our reputation is impeccable in the industry. Many of our competitors haven’t been playing fantasy football as long as we’ve been publishing this site.
We’ve led the charge in this industry in many ways and were the first to produce many different types of content that are staples in the business now.
Here are some examples:
- First fantasy columnists/content providers to ESPN.com (1995)
- First on-air fantasy experts on NFL.com (2002)
- First on-air fantasy analysts for NFL Network (2003)
- First print magazine to interview an NFL player (2003)
- First fantasy sports contributors for Sirius Satellite Radio (2004)
- First fantasy analysts offering real-time analysis during the games on DirecTV’s Fantasy Zone channel (2014).
- (Likely the) First fantasy site to send out a “Breaking News” update (1997)
- (Likely the) First site to use the stock market analogy for fantasy (1995)
- One of the first sites (if not the first) to track pass target numbers (1997)
- One of the first sites to track average draft positions (1999)
- Over the last couple of years, Greg Cosell of NFL Films has emerged as one of the nation’s foremost NFL personnel and matchup analysts. He’s quoted by a lot of other fantasy sites, but he’s actually worked with and consulted for us for a decade.
- We ran our own DFS/Salary cap game starting way back in 2010, introducing many of our readers to DFS/weekly salary cap contests.
Unlike the other fantasy services, we’re on the inside when it comes to the NFL. Members of our staff talk to NFL players, coaches, agents, and beat writers; we attend events such as the NFL Combines, NFL Draft, and Training Camps with full-credential access; we’re constantly discussing the league with key insiders and analysts who talk to coaches and players and break down coaches' tape. We’re truly a professional staff, and even our other full-timers came from strong NFL backgrounds, having done work for PhiladelphiaEagles.com and NFL Films, while also serving as football editors for Penn State's student-run newspaper.
