FantasyPros today disclosed the PAY™ of the most popular fantasy football experts. PAY™ measures the accuracy of each expert’s weekly player rankings.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 19, 2010 – Las Vegas, NV – FantasyPros, the leading aggregator and ratings provider of fantasy football advice, disclosed the details of their accuracy ratings on the heels of their accuracy awards announcement last week. Fantasy enthusiasts can now track exactly how good an expert’s advice is, based on the accuracy of the expert’s player rankings. PAY™ (Prediction Accuracy Yield) measures the benefit a fantasy player receives from following the expert’s advice.
“The irony in our industry is that we spend countless hours providing advice and almost no time figuring out whether the advice is any good.” said David Kim, Co-Founder of FantasyPros. “We want to level the playing field for fantasy experts by giving them an opportunity to show how they stack up against their peers. Similar to how financial advisors are measured on their ability to make your investments grow, fantasy experts should be measured on their ability to provide advice that helps you score more fantasy points.”
FantasyPros measures this advice by analyzing thousands of player predictions made by each expert, extracted from the expert’s weekly player rankings. The player rankings represent a summary of all the insights and knowledge of the expert, making it the best source of data to assess. An expert’s PAY™ simply tells the fantasy player how accurate the expert’s advice is across these thousands of predictions that the expert is making. The 2009 results are available now and FantasyPros will continue to track and report results for each week of the 2010 season.
The accuracy ratings are provided free of charge and can be found at:
