Pro Football Weekly / CBS Fantasy Football Magazine Review

Pro Football Weekly / CBS Fantasy Football Strategy Guide
Pro Football Weekly / CBS Fantasy Football

Summary: Owners that are looking to gain that extra edge will love Pro Football Weekly. It has great fantasy analysis and a nice looking player detail section that provides a ton of extra information. Expert rankings and consensus were not Pro Football Weekly’s forte, but everything else fits the bill.

Positives: Fantasy analysis is a strong point of this magazine. The mock draft is also fairly informative. The player details section is arguably the best among all magazines reviewed this year.

Negatives: On the negative side, the magazine’s archaic TD-centric scoring system is a real minus for most fantasy players who deal in performance. The articles, while high-quality, were lacking in quantity.

Overall Score: 90 Excellent
