No other pregame fantasy football preview show can provide the fantasy football viewer with the resources available to Fantasy Football Now. The show’s lead analyst, Matthew Berry, is one of the most recognizable and respected in the industry. Utilizing information from NFL Insiders, Chris Mortensen, Adam Schefter, Ed Werder, and Field Yates, all devoted fantasy players themselves, provides another level of insight to give fantasy players the advantage they need to win in both season-long and daily fantasy formats. Injury analyst Stephania Bell provides the latest on player injuries to give viewers more than just who is probable, questionable and doubtful. And Tim Hasselbeck provides the player insight into what matchups are favorable and which to avoid. Particular attention is paid to team announcements of their inactive players by giving fantasy football fans immediate reaction to assist them with their last-minute waiver wire pickups and lineup adjustments. With additional information from embedded reporters with all 32 teams, Fantasy Football Now can give viewers the most complete access inside their fantasy rosters.

The show’s “Flex Appeal” segment allows viewers to send in their tough flex position decisions and have Berry and Hasselbeck rank them to help make an informed choice.

Product Name:
The Fantasy Playbook (Presented by DraftKings)

Company Name:
FNTSY Sports Network

Product Description:
The Fantasy Playbook (Presented By DraftKings) features top-level fantasy advice and analysis from experts around the industry, but with a twist — we’re not your average studio show. Instead of just reading off target leaders, we have a numbers-spewing RotoBot present them for discussion. We ditch the old “name that player” format for a witch’s brew of all that player’s elements — then we guess who it is. We are the only show that has popped 50-plus balloons with player faces taped to them, we Bobbed for Values this fall, we torture analysts’ bad calls by making them eat smelly pickled fish or drink raw eggs (and reward them with turkey feasts!), we had Christmas carolers, professional wrestlers, and former NFL players stop by during the 2015 football season. And we still dispensed some of the best advice in the industry, with live guests from WSJ, Yahoo, The Fantasy Couch, and more. It’s a fun, smart show that speaks with fantasy players, instead of speaking at them.

What Makes This Product Worthy of Winning This Category?
It’s a unique show that changes segments daily, with a stress on helpful advice and originality. We combine season-long strategy and daily analysis, creating segments that serve both groups of players. And we strive to keep things fresh, original, and smart., while involving as many industry voices as possible.
