Fantasy Footballers

Review by eFreeware

If you already run a fantasy football team and spend part of every week weighing who to start and who to sit, this app is made with you in mind. It gathers the in-season material a manager needs in one place: rankings, player news, lineup advice and episodes of the podcast itself. The pitch is straightforward, and it comes from people who talk about fantasy football for a living.

What appeals to me is the timing of it. Most of the work in a fantasy league happens between games, when you are deciding whether a banged-up starter is worth the risk or whether a backup is finally worth a spot on your roster. An app that pulls rankings, news and advice together for that weekly routine has an obvious job to do.

Rankings and advice for the week ahead

Rankings and start/sit calls during the season are what the app is built around. These are the two things a manager checks most often, and the developer presents them as the main reason to keep the app installed through the season. The team of analysts behind the podcast is the source of that guidance, which matters if you already trust their read on players.

Player news sits alongside the rankings. The developer describes the app as a tool for building your roster week by week, and that is the rhythm it is designed around.

The recent update added dynasty startup rankings, which extends the rankings side beyond redraft leagues. If you play in a dynasty format, that addition gives you something closer to your league type than the standard weekly tables. It also added matchups to the DST and kicker ranking tables, so those positions now carry the same context as the skill positions.

The podcast, built into the same app

Podcast episodes are part of the package rather than something you have to find elsewhere. The show is described as award-winning, and the same analysts who record it are the ones producing the rankings and advice in the app. For listeners, that means the reasoning behind a recommendation is available in the same place as the recommendation itself.

That combination is the app's clearest advantage over a generic fantasy football tool. You are not just getting a table of names; you are getting the voices behind the table. If the podcast is already part of your week, having it in the same app as the rankings removes a step from your routine.

What the app asks of you

This app offers in-app purchases. The install base is modest by Play Store standards at over 10,000 installs, but the rating is unusually strong at 4.9 from 3,255 ratings, which suggests the people who use it are happy with what they get.

Its focus stays tight: advice on who to start, rankings, news and the show's episodes. The developer notes that more features are coming, so the app is being added to rather than left as it launched. The other thing worth understanding is that this is a companion for people who already play fantasy football. It assumes you have a league, a roster and a weekly decision to make.

The app was released on August 31, 2023, and the most recent update arrived on October 6, 2026. That update included a fix to the league size setting in the league selector, along with the dynasty rankings and matchup additions. The interface work in that release abbreviated DST names for readability, a small change that makes the defensive tables easier to scan.

Who this fits

The people most likely to get value here are fantasy managers who already follow the podcast or want a single place for rankings, news and lineup calls during the season. If your week involves checking player status, comparing two borderline starters and listening to analysis, this app covers that ground without sending you to several different sources.

It suits managers in redraft and dynasty leagues alike, now that startup rankings are included. It is also a reasonable fit for someone who wants the analysts' reasoning rather than just a number next to a name. The app is built around weekly decisions, so it rewards regular use during the season rather than a single visit before your draft.

A weekly companion for fantasy managers

The 4.9 rating from 3,255 ratings tells you the audience it serves is satisfied, and the recent additions show the developer is still building on the foundation.

I would point this at fantasy managers who want the show's analysts in their corner every week and prefer one app over a scattered set of sources. It is free, and it offers in-app purchases. If your season revolves around weekly lineup calls, this is a sensible addition to your phone.
