Fantasy football season kicks off next month, and IBM Watson wants to help you manage your team.
The supercomputer will lend its brains to Edge Up, a new app that will study data, stats and expert analysis for the players on your bench.
Edge Up will scour the Web for player information through social media platforms and news stories, and organize its findings in an athlete profile.
Within that profile, you’ll be able to see Watson’s analysis on factors that impact a player’s performance — physical, mental, and circumstantial. The app will show you injury history, how focused a player might be, and game conditions.
