Fantasy News: KFFL
To win a fantasy football league, it helps to have someone watching the wires for news — and letting you know when it's time to make a move. Such is the case with KFFL's free e-mail alerts that include player news and injury reports. The "PC Prognosticator" predicts the top 16 to 48 performers at each offensive position for the upcoming week, saving owners the trouble of researching NFL teams' defensive strengths and liabilities. The site itself is pilfered with online gambling ads, but the trade analyzer and wealth of other tools and resources linked off the site map are well worth it. Fellow owners also share expertise in a lively forum.
Columnists: CNNSI's Inside Gang
When Sports Illustrated's beat writers contribute online, they give it, as they say in sports, 110%, and with a sense of web savviness that is uncommon when traditional media outlets trot out their stars to the 'Net. Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback may be the best sports column online. It's long, but web-friendly, with such regular sections as "The 10 Things I Think I Think" and "Aggravating/Enjoyable Travel Note of the Week" that allow King to loosen more than in his space-constricted pieces in the magazine. Elsewhere, Dr. Z (Paul Zimmerman) doesn't just mail in his mailbag column; it's quality stuff. Frank Deford, Tom Verducci and Phil Taylor are among the other know-it-alls (that's a compliment) who also write weekly web exclusives.
