A Macro-Qualitative, Matchup-Based Approach to Fantasy Football
 

Over the past two years I've had a lot of feedback from fantasy football coaches all over the country.  In addition to my fantasy football subscriber service and fantasy football convention appearances, I also do numerous weekly radio fantasy football call-in shows.  No matter how many people I talk to, I get the following two questions asked of me more often than any others:

  1. Should I trade X player for Y player?
  2. I've started out with a great record and I know I'm going to make the playoffs.  I now want to try to acquire players who are going to do well during the playoff weeks.  Who are the best players to pick up or trade for?

If you ask any other fantasy expert this question, they'll go look up the overall stats for the player's upcoming opponents and tell you "This player is facing 2 weak defenses, 1 strong defense, and 1 middle of the road defense."  They can't tell you how that player matches up against each DB he is going to face, or how that DB has been performing over the past few weeks.  The DB might be having a very rough time of late, but the expert won't know it because they only look at the overall stats of the team, and the stats have yet to be fully impacted by the player's decreasing performance level.

No service has ever approached these questions from a granular, macro-qualitative, matchup-based point of view. What I mean by this is that no one has ever looked at each matchup for each player and been able to say "This player can beat 2 of the CBs he'll be facing, but he'll have trouble against the other 2 during the playoff weeks." No one, that is, until now!
