Apps
| Pickemfirst (@pickemfirst) – Use Pickemfirst in conjuncture with our weekly player rankings to find any decent, available players in your leagues. |
Websites: Fantasy Team Rating
| FootballGuys.com – Enter your players and scoring rules and see where your team stands in terms of each position and how likely you are to make the playoffs! |
Websites: Line-up Decisions
| MatchupHuddle.com (@matchuphuddle) – Awesome site that allows you to pick player vs player match-ups for each week. If you’re having line-up issues, you can search for two players and see where the community stands on it for the week. You can also test your knowledge against the rest of the users to see who are the real fantasy football gurus out there and who are the pretenders by picking players each week. |
| FantasyIQ.com (@fantasyiq) – Great place to ask about a particular line-up question you have for a given week (i.e. Adrian Peterson or Arian Foster?) and see how the community responds. Also supports multi-player questions on trades (i.e. Adrian Peterson and Greg Jennings FOR Arian Foster and Brandon Lloyd?) |
| FootballVerdict.com (@footballverdict) – Another great site to have your player questions answered by the community. |
| FantasyPROS – Who Should I Start? |
Websites: Team Ranks/Stats
| ESPN Fantasy Football Points Against – Useful site when trying to determine how good a particular defense is against a certain position (i.e. New England against the run.) |
| Yahoo! Fantasy Football Points Against – Similar to ESPN, you can find these by going to your league page and going to the Research > Fantasy Points Against tab. |
| FF Today – Points Allowed |
Websites: Player Ranks/Stats
| GoAheadScore.com – Website we’ll be using to generate charts next season to show player performances in previous weeks. |
Websites: Player News
| Rotoworld.com Headlines – Great site for getting the latest fantasy football related updates. |

FFtoday has a great matchup analyzer that is my go to tool (and probably most used overall) for tough lineup decisions each week. The tool gets really ridiculous and useful when you click a team. It has data such as what % above the nfl average fantasy points the team has given up as well as how many points against the average the team they are playing has scored on average at that position. You can sort by different time spans which really lets you know how a defense (or offense) is playing. I highly recommend it for kicker decisions and IDP. It can be found here:

Fantasypros.com has an excellent start/sit decision maker for questions too. It lists all of the best fantasy experts and which guy they had ranked ahead of the other. an example is here:

Hey Guys –
Last year pre-draft you (Brandon?) posted your pre-draft rankings by position – I found it really useful (with just a few mods…) – can’t find it on the site this year, am I missing it or did you just not go there this year?

Sorry I’m responding late, but did you find the rankings I published a few days ago? Just click on our Rankings tab.

The Fantasy Football Freaks have a good player comparison tool and I found their weekly projections/rankings analysis helpful in making my weekly decisions.

Not a free tool, but http://www.Draftsharks.com has fantasy football draft tool called the MVP Board. It uses player projections to determine relative value between different players and positions.
