Move Over Doc

Up to now you have been subject to the mad Fantasy Football ramblings of our resident analyst Doc Bitters. Now I have a lot of respect for Doc’s opinions. He is a pretty insightful fellow. But starting next week, StatLeader.com will begin posting the first of our ever-expanding and unique core services, our computerized Fantasy Football rankings.

What makes our product so different? Well, a number of things. First of all, we individually rank all players relative to each of the major Fantasy Football league default settings. This includes:

ESPN – LM Traditional, LM Standard, LM Yardage, FF Traditional and FF Performance

Yahoo - Default

CBS Sportsline - Default

NFL – Default

Fox / Sporting News – Basic and Ultimate

Since each of these leagues use different scoring systems, traditional rating services can generally not cover more than one or two of them. We give you all 10. Why? Well, just because Peyton Manning may be #1 in one league doesn’t mean he will be #1 in any of the others.

Additionally, we won’t waste your time projecting pass attempts, receiving TDs or rushing yards like other sites. We give you what you need and what you’re interested in, projected points based on your leagues scoring system.

How do we do it? Simple. OK, not so simple. Our analysis routines were developed by two honest to goodness “rocket scientists” (including yours truly). We have developed our own protected Fantasy Football methods that seek to be as mathematically accurate as possible while taking in to account the unpredictable nature of football.

As an example, we input over 40 different statistical pieces of information for each offensive player. These are used to calculate more than 300 intermediate values that are then applied to the individual setting for each of the 10 leagues listed. This allows us to provide what we believe to be the best league-by-league ranking and projections available in Fantasy Football.

We’ll let you know more shortly. In the meantime, enjoy The Bitter One’s ravings (Yes we actually do incorporate his opinions into the system) and get ready to launch into a new universe of Fantasy Football information.
