Hey all, you might be interested in this guest post that The Fifth Down ran for us today. It gives a little background on our approach to accuracy and why we think it’s important for the industry. As the post discusses, hopefully our tools and content can help reduce some of the time and stress involved in getting a leg up on your competition!

First, if I may, a little congrats to FantasyPros is in order. Today was a big milestone for us. We issued our first official press release to announce the winners of our 2009 Accuracy Awards. We spent several months collecting, analyzing, QA-ing, and scoring rank and projection data from over 30 experts for every week of last year’s fantasy season. Our database is literally bursting at the seams! The net result of this undertaking is what we feel is the best accuracy study for full in-season expert predictions.
Now that I’m done patting ourselves on the back, can we get a drum roll please?
Here are the Top fantasy football experts from 2009, based on overall accuracy across the RB, WR, QB, and TE positions:
1. Andy Behrens – Yahoo! Sports
2. Pat Fitzmaurice – Pro Football Weekly
3. Brandon Funston – Yahoo! Sports
4. Gregg Rosenthal – Rotoworld
5. David Dodds – FootballGuys

Now that I got my whining out of my system, I want to tell you a little bit about what we’re up to. We’re really excited about how things are coming along and we’re on target to launch our beta in just a few weeks!

I’m already stressed. Last week I noticed that fantasy football magazines have already made their way to the newsstands, and I’m starting to get daily emails from fantasy advice sites. Both are painful reminders that NFL 2010 is right around the corner. Yes, painful. I used to love fantasy football but this year I’m totally stressed about it.
Maybe it’s the heightened level of expectations that I have for myself. I was runner up in my main league last year. Second place isn’t so bad, but it’s the worst when you lose to the laziest guy in the league (we’re talking auto-draft, zero trade offers, and weeks where you wonder if he’s even going to set his lineup!). You poker players know the feeling I’m talking about. You’re all in with pocket rockets and the bozo with Jack-8 decides to call you…and talks trash after he makes his straight! I got robbed and I’m still bitter about it.
