When it comes to analysis, I like listening to the Fantasy Football guys. I don't play Fantasy Football myself, but those guys got a better handle on the players who are getting hot, players that aren't, team defense and other assorted categories.... those guys take their fantasy football seriously..... I get more a more informed outlook from them than I do many of the talking heads...
Football Outsiders data is useless on game day. They aren't in the predicition/forecast business. They never participate in pickem's or publish who they like in an upcoming matchup. Their data is massaged after the game - a ranking system. Sure, many (all?) NFL teams subscribe to their "premium" service but who knows why? My guess is NFL teams have plenty of spare cash and if Johnny is doing it, we're going to do it, too... I maintain a coach or scout can glean more info from the (free) raw numbers and film than he can from FO data.... Is FO a useful tool worth shelling out money for? Not in my book....
