Welcome to Fantasy Football for Winners, the companion site to facebook.com/FantasyFootballForWinners.  First conceived in 2007 as a short-lived blog, the central tenets surrounding FF4W became a book in 2012.  The following month, the FF4W Facebook site was born--an interactive community of now 6,000+ fantasy football competitors.

FF4W is based on three core ideals:

(1) UNCONVENTIONAL WISDOM.  I'll never recommend drafting or starting elite players.  The obvious is boring.  Instead, FF4W is about identifying undervalued guys before they break out, as well as pinpointing who's overvalued so you don't get burned on game days.

(2) TRANSPARENCY.  I won't hide behind my mistakes, and I won't make excuses for them.  What you read is what you get.  If you follow my advice, we'll both live with the consequences--good or bad.  If you reject my advice and it works out for you, I'll be the first person to congratulate you for ignoring me.

(3) ACCURACY.  I hate being wrong, though going against the grain means it'll happen a fair amount.  Week to week, my goal is to hit on 60% to 65% of my bold predictions.  Sometimes I barely reach 50%.  Other times--like my 74% clip in Week 17 of the 2015 season--I get most of them right.  This site is only as useful as it is accurate.  I'm constantly working to make good on that promise.

2016 Fantasy Tools

Over the years I've truly enjoyed answering fantasy questions.  2015 was the most intense yet, as I found myself fielding 50+ questions some days and several hundred questions every week.  So I've created a tool that will be e-mailed weekly to everyone who signs up.  It'll feature 300 players' values for trading purposes (re-draft and dynasty) and for the fantasy playoffs (weeks 14-16).  While time consuming to assemble each week, it should answer many people's non-game day questions, thereby reducing the number I'm fielding each day.


You can sign up to receive this e-mailed tool every week of the regular season by completing the FF4W 2016 Season Pass form to the right.  It's a "pay what you want" resource.  So if you want to pay a penny, it's yours for a penny.  If it's worth more to you, terrific, and thank you.

You can also sign up to receive the FF4W 2016 Preseason Pass, which many of you know as my annual top 300 player rankings, color-coated to highlight positional tiers of talent.  You'll receive an updated version each week, starting in July.  This, too, is a "pay what you want" resource.
