Fantasy Football Magazines

Finally bought my first fantasy football magazine of the season. It’s a little late in the year but I’ve been doing most of my research online for the past few years. This year I went with Fantasy Football Index. They have a decent site that gives you access to regular updates with the purchase of the mag. Hey so what if they had Alexander on the cover last year and, this is funny, Tatum Bell two years ago.

For my money, after trying a number of other publications, this is the go-to magazine. The two things I look for are an in depth analysis and rankings by position as well as a team-by-team breakdown. Fantasy Football Index 2007 offers both… as well as a number of other goodies like expert mock drafts, sleepers and busts, rookie forecast, o-line rankings and the often overlooked but ultra important 2007 schedule with team by team bye weeks.

To each their own, of course. Brandon Funston of ESPN wrote a good article years ago on How to Draft the Right Fantasy Football Magazine. It’s a little old (from 2001) but the different standards by which he measures fantasy football magazines still hold up.

Here’s a link to a unbelievably thorough review of 13 top fantasy football magazines for 2007.
