In the famous words of Albert Einstein, "Insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results." Whether a fantasy football player is dominating his league or toiling in the cellar, this player wants to maximize his fantasy football team’s performance for the remainder of the season. Well, these same fantasy football players, upwards of 80% of them, listen to the exact same Web sites (i.e. Yahoosports, ESPN, Rotoworld…) on a weekly basis. But, FantasyXPERT.com’s research suggests that "doing the same things over and over" could be costing these fantasy football players 45% or more in production. Think about how an individual watches TV...he has a channel for sports, a channel for national news, a different channel for travel and yet another channel for local news...there just isn't any single channel that provides the depth of coverage anyone wants on a particular subject so we’re forced to use specialists. When thinking about fantasy football research, the same concept should be applied - create a set of optimal "channels" based on the type of advice that is needed. Having trouble deciding which RB to play? Not sure about picking up 1 player over another? What about a critical start or sit decision? So far in 2009 certain sources have proven to be better than others in each of these categories. Let's take a look at October and identify some of the best: Most Accurate Sources for October, 2009 QBs - Fantasyfootballbreakdown.com RBs - Rotoexperts.com WRs - Yahoosports.com TEs - Fantasyfootballbreakdown.com Ks - Cbssports.com Start Advice - Fantasyfootballgoat.com Sit Advice - Fantasyfootballjournal.com Waiver Wire Pickup Advice - FFtoday.com Interesting Findings About Some of the Most Popular Sites SI.com – FantasyXPERT.com’s data shows that SI.com was actually the least accurate source in predicting RBs and Waiver Wire Pick-ups, finished in the bottom 5 for QBs, and finished in the bottom quarter of all analyzed sources for predicting TEs.
