Rotowire Fantasy Football Kit

When I had my fantasy draft last Sunday, this was the app I used. The app allows you to put in your leagues scoring system and then ranks the players according to that. On the cheat sheet you can see all the offensive players listed or sort them by position and of course they have defenses and kickers as well.

The feature I like and why I got this app is by clicking on a name you can see their stats over their career and an outlook for the upcoming year. Also in this screen you can check them as drafted on your team or just that they were drafted. This is great when drafting because you can then filter by available players.

Once the drafting starts, press the My Team button and it shows you players that have been drafted on your team, sorted by position, and then bye weeks. Very handy for making sure you have a backup with different bye weeks. There is also a depth chart button that shows all the NFL teams and their depth charts. Also a search feature that searches for players and gives news on them.

I started not to buy this app because of several bad reviews but since it was the only one at the time that did most of what I wanted, I took the gamble. After my draft I was very happy with my purchase however there are a few features I would like to see added. The main feature is the ability to add the different teams in your league. Now the way the app works is a player is on your team or other team. I like to keep up with what team has drafted who and what positions. This comes in handy later in the draft if you know everyone has a quarterback but not running backs. If I know this I might take the gamble that the quarterback would last another round and go ahead and take the running back. Overall all though I was very pleased with this app. This app also can be used on the iPhone but I didn’t use it there, so I’m reviewing it only on the iPad.

Fantasy Football Monster ’11 Manager

It’s that time of year again, time to get ready for some fantasy football. So I’m going to start by reviewing a few fantasy football apps and the first one being Fantasy Football Monster ’11 Manager. To be fair in reviewing this app my fantasy team hasn’t been drafted yet so I am limited on what I can do with this app however I really like what I see.

With this app you can manager your fantasy football team with Yahoo, ESPN, or NFL.com. I have a league with ESPN and last season I used the ESPN app and wasn’t happy at all. I am very impressed so far with what I have been able to do with this app. This app will allow you to edit lineups, automatically set lineups, search for players, add and drop players, trade players, check live game scores, check weekly matchups, read and post to message boards (most of what I’ve used this app for so far), view latest transactions, team notes, standings and rosters, check player news, injury reports and sports headlines. So as you can see you can do almost anything that you could do on the website.

This app is on both the iPhone and iPad with a paid and free version. The free version has an add that is so annoying that you can’t wait to get the paid version. From what I’ve used of it so far, I really like it. I will update this review once I’ve used it for a couple of weeks but right now I’m thrilled to have found this app.
