So I guess you can scratch that idea. Still, I bet yours would be better. I found your resources page. So I guess you can scratch that idea. Still, I bet yours would be better.

There are three things I really appreciate about your site: 1. Waiver Wire 2. Ask the Geeks (and your faithful responses to comments) 3. Sell High, Buy Low Hits and Misses and well as Desperation are moderately helpful. Top 25 doesn't provide much value to me. There is one addition that I think would be extraordinarily helpful. A table, updated weekly, that provides week-by-week analysis of each team's expected overall passing, running, and defensive performance. Effectively, a forward-looking strength of schedule indicator. Perhaps this could take the form of a color-coded table. I have two problems in fantasy football. Making the playoffs is rarely one of them. The first is determining which players I should play on a weekly basis. The second is determining which players are going to by fantasy playoff busts. Through the ever-changing football season, I want to have a place to look to determine which players have favorable matchups in the weeks ahead. This season, it would have been nice to be reminded time and time again to not trade for the Steelers, who had awful fantasy playoff matchups. Of course, I finished the season with Big Ben and Willie Parker on my bench. It would have been nice to unload them--for anything. I hope that suggestion made sense.

I hadn't thought of doing any statistical analysis before. That’s an interesting idea. I hadn’t thought of doing any statistical analysis before.

In Yahoo, I can't see a guy's stats for every week at once. I'd love to see a standard deviation to see how consistent a player is. Of course, if the user could customize the scoring system, that would be even better. That's pretty ambitious though... If you guys can get access to stats, I’d like to see some statistical analysis.
