Summary: FootballGuys has almost everything a fantasy owner needs. It is organized nicely and stands out with its expert consensus rankings. Despite its lack of a stats section, FootballGuys is extremely well done. If you’re looking for a ton of information and a lot of insight, FootballGuys has it.
Positives: FootballGuys had a great deal of high-quality articles. The magazine includes a superb primer to value-based drafting, and has extensive analysis on sleepers and busts. We also judged FootballGuys to have the best fantasy football analysis across the board, and loved its expert consensus rankings feature.
Negatives: FootballGuys was not perfect, however. The statistics section was inadequate at just one page. They also could have invested in higher-quality paper and ink: after a few nice glossy color pages up front, we were left with ugly black-and-white newsprint for the bulk of the magazine.
