Oh.. you can get your team graded all over. .I think Sam used Fantasy Pros (?), to grade the MBBRL teams, my guess is that guy had his league hosted on yahoo, which will grade out the whole league. . Same thing with ESPN, and likely many others.
When it comes to news, I'm exceptionally loyal to Rotoworld.. but if I need specific advice, I'm coming here, every time.

Same here ..... as for 'draft grades'. I like Fantasy Pros options but over the years I've had teams that graded badly but performed well, and vise versa. Likewise with other sites. We all like to see that we drafted well according to the experts yet they as a whole are only 'right' about 60% of the time. Granted, it is hard to recover from a really bad draft - but trades, waiver pick ups, injuries, and the matchups you have against league opponents have as much effect on the teams overall performance as anything.

So I shouldn't trust the football guys saying I had a 90 percent chance at the playoffs with great in season management. Lol. I'm kidding.

Don't trust anyone. If you're gonna win or lose, do it on your own terms. I've become quite proficient at the latter. ;)

Not sure how the "grading" works, but based on the grades that I've seen (compared to the rosters), my guess is that these sites (i.e. ESPN & FantasyPros) look how your selections matchup with their recommendations.

What may skew the grading even further is if you pass on a player that they have ranked high, then still manage to pick him up a round or two later. In other words, if you're not following their recommended rankings for each round, then it negatively affects your grade.

They foresee the future and then tell you what place you're going to get

Oddly enough that's a pretty accurate statement. In the vast majority of leagues there's always those 2-3 owners who forget to change a lineup, never play the wire. .yada yada.. simply managing your team well will often put you in the playoffs.

might be just my opinion.. but I get more out of advice/opinions that differ from my own. Might not always change my mind, but does open my eyes to a lot of players that I may not have necessarily cared to keep a close eye on.

Well when those opinions differ so greatly from the norm. It has you take a step back and think does this guy really know anything about ff. Plus it seems like a little more team loyalty is mixed in. Which leads to rose colored glasses from some on his fav teams players.
