Guys...As you can see from my profile. I'm a newbie to the site. If you recognized my subject line, you'll know I'm referring to John Hansen, the founder of Fantasy Guru. I was a member for 8 years until John recently announced that he has left the company. So obviously, I'm looking for a new trusted source to get my fantasy information from. I stumbled on the DLF site last year and I do have to admit, they cover the rookies much better than most. That's important to me as I'm in a true rookie draft only dynasty league where we only draft rookies year after year. Jeff H. seems to be a great guy and very knowledgeable and seems very responsive to tweets, messages etc.
The one thing I'm looking to replace is a weekly lineup advice section or a weekly ranking of matchups of sorts. Am I just missing it on the DLF site? If it is not available, can you provide a trusted source for such a feature?
Thanks!
Replacing the Guru!

Re: Replacing the Guru!
Is that sub forum active during the season (of course it isn’t right now)?
What other resources do you DLFers use to make lineup decisions?
This is by far my Achilles heel in fantasy. I consistently put together strong, deep teams, and start the wrong guys.

Re: Replacing the Guru!
I don't use lineup advice very much, but when I do I just browse the Rotoworld rankings to see if anything there sticks out. I just don't want to miss any injuries or great matchups.
Not all that counts can be counted. Not all that can be counted counts.
Re: Replacing the Guru!
It's not the most active forum, but you might get a few responses. I've never asked for advice, but will sometimes go to there to give it.honcho55 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 11:40 am Is that sub forum active during the season (of course it isn’t right now)?

Re: Replacing the Guru!
For weekly lineups I use the fantasy fooballers. Its free and they are generally accurate.

Re: Replacing the Guru!
Thanks everyone, I appreciate the suggestions and I'll give them a shot. But...maybe there's no such thing as "Replacing The Guru"! Ha...I too listen to him daily on Sirius XM and I'm sure he'll have some advice during the season, but it won't be the same as what I was used to.

Re: Replacing the Guru!
I believe that the DLF Writers answer lineup questions weekly during the season but I could be mistaken ...
Please speak to clarion contrarion before considering the use of vetos..
Re: Replacing the Guru!
The Guru still has a podcast with Greg Cosell? What is it called?
Nobody can replace the Guru. He sometimes had very different view of players than what a lot of the consensus is around here.
There is no mention of his leaving on the website, which I thought was shady and very misleading.
None of these lineup advice sites compared to what what was on the fantasy guru website. They did weekly rankings of players, with stay projections.

Re: Replacing the Guru!
SirusXM Radio every weekday at 7am. He has a different co-host each day that range from Adam Caplin, Greg Cosell, Joe Dolan, and Paul Kelly. It's a pretty Gurrific Show https://www.siriusxm.com/fantasysportsradioremedy29 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 1:55 amThe Guru still has a podcast with Greg Cosell? What is it called?
