It is here.  The season is upon us.  The entire Fantasy Alarm team has been working for you all spring and now it is time to announce our offerings for the season for both daily and seasonal fantasy sports players.  We hope that you play both.  We think that it makes you a better seasonal player if you play daily and a better daily player if you play seasonal.  We always suggest that you play both.

The number one thing you should always expect from us is that we will answer all questions you as members of FANation send to us via chat, twitter or e-mail.  We CARE about you and your fantasy teams!

You also can expect that we do our best ALWAYS.  So, to show you what we plan, we outlined it below.  The best way to find these things is to use the right menus on the homepage or on the MLB page.  All of these things will be accessible from the menus on top of the page as well.  For tools, we suggest you start at the Tools Home Page.

Daily Features

Many seasonal leagues will find these features helpful for their daily lineups. Our daily fantasy sports content is baked into our tools so that many of these features will also have data charts that are interactive within them.  Virtually all our features contain automated information to show you salaries, ownership and if players are in the lineup plus some data to give you an edge.  Here is the rundown of what we have for MLB Coverage.  

  • Daily Round-Up – It is a look at things that affected DFS or Seasonal leagues from the day before.  This will be a staple of our combined daily and seasonal coverage.
  • DFS Playbook – Our flagship product, it lays out for daily fantasy sports players, the players that they should invest in for that day’s main slate.  It is complete with salaries in at least six systems and a deep breakdown of why you should use the player.
  • DFS Rankings – Deep daily VALUE rankings for each position with salaries, ownership info and fantasy points per game.
  • Hitting Coach – Your hitting dashboard with in-depth information about the matchups, sabermetrics, salaries, and everything you need to scout the hitters for daily fantasy sports or for your daily lineups in seasonal games.  For slates larger of six games or larger, we will have a write up for the best hitters of the day above the data tables.

  • Real-Time Chat (8am-8pm ET daily) – Our analysts will be there for you every day leading up to lineup lock to help you get the answers you need to succeed plus be there for every seasonal move or trade to help you validate or maximize value from it.

Weekly & Monthly Features

Many of our features transcend the daily slate, but are important to read for both the seasonal and the daily fantasy sports players.  Knowing when a key player is coming off injury can help you identify DFS values and understanding things like managerial tendencies can also be helpful each day for DFS.  Many of these features are done by the same people as last season and helped numerous people win their championships.  These will start to roll out on Thursday March 29th.
