Your Fantasy League Deserves Its Own Sports Network
Some of you might remember us from about a year ago.
I'm a commissioner, and like a lot of you, I've always believed the hardest part of running a league is keeping people engaged. The more everyone's into it, the more fun the whole thing is!
That's the problem I've been obsessed with enough to dedicate so much of my time and money for over a year now trying to solve. So many of us end up building league sites, writing newsletters, posting power rankings and trade breakdowns and draft grades just to keep the group chat alive. I've loved doing it...when I have the time, which unfortunately isn't always true.
For me, the draft grades are where this whole thing actually started. In my main league I used to write pick-by-pick reactions and full team grades every year, and my leaguemates loved them enough to bug me until I caved and did it again. I made spreadsheets to speed it up and it still took me hours. So I built a tool to do it. And then I couldn't stop thinking bigger. Why can't there be a platform to give your league its own media network? A place where I can easily create power rankings, draft grades, newsletters, and easily share them with my league? What about deep, beautiful history and analytics to go alongside it? What if we went even bigger? The NFL gets ESPN, live draft coverage, analysts, weekly recaps, all of it. Why doesn't your league get the same treatment?
That's The Fantasy Network. Your league gets its own site with its full history, a page you can make your own, and a media sports network with a reporter named Beakman who covers your league, just like the pros.
He grades your draft live as it happens. He reacts to your trades minutes after they post. He writes your recaps and power rankings, calls out your managers by name, and remembers what they did last season and the one before that.
We cover all league types and all formats! Dynasty, keeper, chopped, redraft. Have weird roster configurations? No problem. In some deep IDP league? That's covered too!
For those of you who saw our posts last year, got excited, signed up on the waitlist and DM'd us, first of all thank you! I already went through and made sure to message every single DM we've ever had personally. We wanted to fully launch last year, but it just wasn't going to be good enough, and we didn't want to just throw some generic AI slop out there, with a clunky & buggy app.
So we spent the last year grinding relentlessly, honestly, but it's real now, and invites will start going out over the next few weeks. I hope this launch tease video and our updated landing page give you all a taste of what we've been building.
The core of the platform is entirely free! Onboard your league, see your league's entire history, create your own articles for your league and customize it all! If you want the full blown media network experience and deep analytics then you can upgrade and try out what we have to offer.
This is not some Sleeper wrapper bolted onto ChatGPT. The stats are licensed, the NFL photography is licensed, and there's a lot of proprietary work going on underneath that we are genuinely proud of.
It's Sleeper right now, but we intend to support ESPN and Yahoo (pending API access approval) this season, with an iOS and Android app pending review over the next few weeks as well.
I'd love your honest feedback and ideas in the comments, or just DM us. And to everyone who signed up last year and waited this long, thank you for sticking with us. Let's finally get your league the coverage it deserves. <3
