FantasyPros Who Do I Start?

I want to stress that this is a review of the app itself, not of how well it predicts. If you play fantasy but don't gather research from many sources, you are not that likely to succeed. So, take heed. The app works really well. Be sure you keep it updated or you won't have all the players, especially rookies. But it's easy, and fast, and straightforward. I do wish that it didn't default to standard scoring every time I open it, but instead remember me as a PPR user. But other than that, this is decent. It even drops in a few news blurbs about the players you're comparing. Again, remember that this is not really science, just a consortium of opinions. If you've got two guys that ESPN Fantasy are both predicting will score, say, 8 points this week, and you're not sure who to start, plug them in. If this app says "90% start player A," the app will be correct about 65% of the time. If it gives you a less sure opinion (i.e., 55% start player A), don't even think about taking it as gospel. What it's telling you is that it's too close to call. On the other hand, if you plug in DeMarco Murray vs Derrick Henry (and they're both healthy), its flat out gonna tell you 100% DeMarco and it's flat out gonna be right. So...take this sort of thing with a grain of salt. Nothing replaces research and a good football gut instinct.

Predictions are really math (probabilities). So the more sports experts you have, the better the math, as individual biases tend to get balanced out. This app does this very well. Can it be wrong? Absolutely. Sometimes someone rises out of nowhere and astounds. People will always say "I knew so-and-so was going to have a great game and he did!! What do those so called experts know?" Sorry, they are not crystal balls. If you find one of those you will make a fortune won't you? It's what they and their staffs do for a living. The plumber knows more about plumbing than I do and the cardiologist knows more about hearts. Go ask your brother-in-law or your bartender if you prefer.

I would give this app five stars easily for it’s concept alone. The Issues with this app is it just lacks a few key features, and sometimes doesn’t seam to be fully “up to date?” I feel like there should be a way to allow us compare any NFL football players from different positions like a (QB vs RB etc) at that EXACT time (maybe you could rate them according to their current stats with side by side comparisons with how many Yards and TD’s that player averages a game? Maybe Even showing how many Fantasy Points are scored per game average?) This way We Fantasy Team “Owners” can also compare and see if we want to trade our top WR away to our Opponents Team Owner for their QB, RB, K, etc. Just an Idea, having that would bring me back to use this app daily and not just once a week👍

Love the app! I know predictions are just that, predictions so overall the app is great. The only improvement I could suggest is adding an option where you could move/switch to the next week before the Monday night game ends. Like most pro fantasy players I'm looking for next weeks options before this weeks games even start. It would be great to be able to look ahead to the future weeks.

I had this app last year and it was AWESOME. This year they make you pay for extra tools (the ones you really need) and they revamped the app to make it look “cooler” I suppose.. but it is completely useless & not user friendly. 2 stars cause it was awesome last year and the free version was okay this year before the revamp.
