Summary: Draftbook gives a nice take on fantasy football with extended analysis and an extensive player detail section. It also thrives in its color and flare. Draftbook might be short and pretty similar to Pro Forecast, but the fantasy owner will spend a lot of time with this magazine.
Positives: DraftBook features sharp fantasy analysis and an excellent section on fantasy football myths, debunked.
Negatives: The player detail section could have been better, and we would have liked to have seen some more in-depth articles, however.
