Who Gives The Best Fantasy Football Advice?

Besides Game of Inches of course.

In all seriousness, there are so many blogs and sites giving away fantasy football advice like Planned Parenthood gives out condoms. However, sometimes you get what you pay for. Sometimes you should have spent the extra fifteen bucks and bought Trojans from Walgreens instead out trusting the handful you got from PP. Sometimes it works out to be cheap. So out of the many sites that exist, which site works best?

Well two great friends of GOI (FFSpin and Fantasy Pros) have tried to answer that very same question.

FFSpin has partnered with Fantasy Focus Crystal Ball to determine which sites did the best job ranking players. You can see their results every Wednesday at the Fantasy Joe's section at USA Today. They determined that the top five websites for giving out fantasy advice in 2009 were:

1. Yahoo!
2. KFFL
3. FFCafe
4. FFToday
5. FFToolbox

Fantasy Pros has an accuracy page where they rank each individual fantasy sports writer's predictions and how they did per positions every week. They also ranked how the individual fantasy sports writers did last year. Besides clicking on the link to see the full results, here is a brief overview of their results:
