That also leads to a key part of the way we play fantasy football. You can find all sorts of incredible analysis and debate about whether Peyton Manning is a better pick than Aaron Rodgers, and we read all of it. But sometimes it feels like fantasy analysts end up competing over who can apply the most obscure stat to each player's projections. Seriously, no one cares if a quarterback has the fifth-best completion percentage on balls thrown 38 or more yards down the field. Especially since he probably only does it once a game.
So we have tried to simplify things, and that's why we have a simple relationship-based rating system that cuts through all of the clutter. LeSean McCoy and Calvin Johnson are two of the very best players in the game, so we consider them "Marriage Material" (elite players). Arian Foster and Andre Johnson? "Boyfriend Potential" (terrific catches). Wes Welker and Vernon Davis -- "It's Complicated" (pretty good placeholders until you find something better). And so on.
We want to become the home for levelheaded people who love fantasy football, but don't want it as their second job. Games are supposed to be fun. No one should feel too intimidated to try. Trust us, you will love it.

The only woman in my regular league quit the league after last season because she cut Steven "I fucking suck" Jackson late in the season and this fucking obnoxious crybaby who was a rookie in our league cried shenanigans because he thought Steven "I fucking suck" Jackson is actually good and shouldn't be left to the "capriciousness" of the waiver wire order and our commish fancied himself David Stern (i.e. interference is OK) and forced her to take Steven "I fucking suck" Jackson back on her roster even though she made a well reasoned argument to justify her decision that no one was entitled to in the first place.
(Yes I'm :umad about it still, especially since that fucking crybaby is in the league again this season.)
BTW that crybaby ended up going to the finals of our league and losing to someone who hadn't set their roster in over a month. (http://i.imgur.com/eyQNnac.png)
I'm not saying there's karma (http://i.imgur.com/QMIbeA8.png) but sometimes it sure seems that way. (http://i.imgur.com/RPCXUR9.png)
