Yahoo is now offering Fantasy Finance – A Stock Trading Game, for all those who are interested!
Yahoo is now offering Fantasy Finance – A Stock Trading Game, for all those who are interested!
I’m not exactly sure how long it’s been available, but this week I just noticed that Yahoo is offering Flex rankings in addition to their normal weekly position rankings. The rankings aren’t done by their usual experts, but by something called theĀ Crystal Ball Composite. The rankings also assume a flex position that is WR/RB/TE, which is good for leagues that allow tight ends in the spot. In the past, people have asked me to do something similar, but I’ll continue to just respond to flex-related questions in the comments. Anyways, check out Yahoo’s flex rankings if you want!
Just noticed a new feature for all of those using Yahoo! Fantasy Football. If you go to the Research tab, you’ll see a new sub-tab called Twitter Intelligence. If you click that, you can see all tweets mentioning players on your team. You can then select which specific players to search for (Show tweets for:), whether it’s just your starting roster or even just your quarterbacks or something (note: I’m not sure this filtering functionality is working quite yet.)
This is a great tool to use on Sunday morning/afternoon, right before game time, so you can keep an eye on the health of your players and see if make sure they’re playing. Twitter is where you’ll hear most news first, so it’s great to have an fishbowl to look into and see updates for just your players (assuming everyone spells their names correctly!)
Putting the geek in ffgeekblog today, I like it.

IS DROPPING TIM HIGHTOWER FOR GUYS LIKE K.HUNTER OR DANIEL THOMAS A GOOD MOVE?? NOT TAKING TO BEING SHANNAHANED VERY WELL..ESP. BECAUSE I KNEW BETTER–ANYWAY THOUGHTS ARE APPRECIATED. AND WHICH WRs WOULD YOU PLUG IN THIS WEEK–VJAX(hamstring),R.WHITE,HOLMES AND NATE WASHINGTON–NEED 2.
Yeah that twitter intel thing looks pretty cool! Will be great for injury checking.
Having trouble sin my PPR money league again. RBs are Wells, Gore, Sproles, and Best. Pick 2. The lineup decisions in this league are killing me (Sat Gore and Wells last week). HELP!
Against the Jets and with Woodhead doubtful, is it too early to give Stevan Ridley a bye-week start over someone maybe less risky but with less upside (J-Stew, in this case)?
My Team– Looked good once upon a time and many injuries ago..
Matt Hasselbeck QB
Brandon Jacobs RB
Mike Tolbert RB
Roddy White
Vincent Jackson WR
Jimmy Graham TE
Neil Rackers K
Tennessee Titans Def/ST
Ben Roethlisberger QB
Felix Jones RB DAL
Tim Hightower RB WAS
Nate Washington WR
Santonio Holmes WR
Aaron Hernandez TE
Off to a rough start and need some advice.. I play in a league that doesn’t trade much or at all. Jacobs doesn’t look good and I need RB help. If no trades come through who should I look to drop??
sproles or stewart?
Should I drop N. Washington and pick up K. Hunter,SF of Ryan Grant??
Need a last minute TE pickup for today. Should I grab Scott Chandler or James Casey (neither ideal but in a tight spot here..). Thanks
For all of you who use Yahoo! for your fantasy football leagues, they’ve added a new feature (at least I think it’s new?) this year called Fantasy Points Against. You can find it under the Research tab in your league and it’s very similar to the ESPN version that we previously listed on our Tools page. You can use this to see how each team has fared against different positions in terms of fantasy points allowed, so check it out! (More …)

It was funny because my buddy came over to watch the Patriots game on Sunday and we were playing each other in the first round of the playoffs. He immediately wanted to check his roster and make sure he had a guy in his line-up and when I tried to check for him on all my laptops, none of them could bring up the Yahoo page. I thought my wireless router had screwed up or something, but apparently it was Yahoo. Luckily for him he had the right guy in anyways (even though he ended up losing anyways!) but it was pretty funny
