I'm fairly obsessed with fantasy football, but I have no idea what this game is about from reading your homepage. Also, launching one day before the season doesn't give me a lot of time to decide whether to commit to something for the season. Keep at it -- there's lot of ground to break in fantasy. I work on a fantasy product (http://www.footballverdict.com http://www.footballverdict.com) and it's a fun space. We can swap user acquisition strategies and highs and lows.

  I've come across Football Verdict before, love the clean design! I'm definitely having trouble explaining how the game works in few enough words for a landing page, so fair critique there. This is a one man side-project, so I wish I could have launched sooner, but I'm just happy I got it out the door before the season started. Let's definitely connect - I'll reach out!

    You should also check out /r/fantasyfootball -- there may be some junkies there that would love to do this.

  So, I don't see the that link on the new page for /r/sports: http://www.reddit.com/r/sports/new/ http://www.reddit.com/r/sports/new/ Does Reddit filter things out?

This may or may not be useful for your users, but my company (Twilio) is providing free conference calls for FF drafts up until the NFL season starts. Just an FYI: http://fantasyfootball.twilio.ly http://fantasyfootball.twilio.ly

  That's a great marketing move...wouldn't expect anything else from Twilio! It's not really of use to my users though - drafting happens independently of other users.
