Your success in fantasy football starts and ends with your ability to collect and decipher information. In this post, using a few videos I’ve whipped up, I am going to show you can get any NFL and fantasy football information sent to one place, in real time.
Imagine having stuff like player information, NFL team information, weather reports, start’em sit’em lists, sleeper candidates, waiver wire pick-ups, and pretty much any other fantasy football information sent to one convenient location for you to review anytime, anyplace. Pretty handy huh?
Check out these videos and then read the rest of this post because I have some more info.

Pretty simple stuff huh? Anyway, now that you’ve seen the videos you are going to want to get started on your custom fantasy football info webpage.

Read through them because you will find a bunch of blogs to subscribe to and websites to link to.

If you have any questions about something that wasn’t in the video send me an email or post a comment below. I don’t have all the answers but I may be able to point you in the right direction.
So there have it. With all of these awesome tools there is no reason for to miss any critical fantasy football information from this point on. Once you get your page set up you will be a lean mean information machine. Now get out there and dominate your league.

1This is great info but as somebody who has worked in the online/technology industry for 12 years the one thing I’ve found to be universally true is that consumers/users want something easy to use. RSS is great but its only used by a relatively small population of online users for a reason. So while this is exactly how I keep track of more than 100 online football information sources, most just want a single source where they can spend 15 to 30 minutes a day keeping track of what’s going on.

2Thanks FFCollective,
Perhaps another reason they are not using RSS is that they don’t know what it is. I would be willing to bet that most people would use more than one resource if they new how easy it is to use it.
If anyone wants to be competitive, and if the information is readily available and easily accessible, why wouldn’t they use it?
You said that you use it yourself. What makes you different than anyone else?
You should take a poll on the Collective and see why it is they might not be using it, or if in fact they only want one resource? Maybe I am completely off base!

4@ FF Collective. In my eyes, what Corey just did here was gave the fantasy owner that “single source” once the work is done customizing it the way they want it. I’m pretty sure what your getting at is your site is the only source they need but you can’t honestly believe that. No matter how loyal some of your readers may be they know that the internet is a big place and will stray. If your giving them the most reliable information there is no need to worry about it.
Good work Corey! A large reason many people don’t use RSS is that they just don’t know what to do with it. What you provided here is a pretty simple solution to that.

5Corey,
I finally got time to put this to use. I have a restricted free agent period in my IDP Dynasty league coming up next month. I have 31 guys I’m keeping my eye on as possible players to bid on. Using the iGoogle I created a page with Google News Search on each player. Awesome idea. Since we have 40 man active rosters I’m going to set it up for a newspage for my players after RFA.
