2007 Testimonials
Admittedly, there are a lot of
testimonials here, but we received hundreds from our 2007
subscribers. While all these glowing remarks may seem a little
unrealistic (we weren't perfect last year, of course), we stake our
reputation on the fact that they were all actual comments sent to us
from our subscribers.
We fully comprehend that this page is essentially a sales pitch for our service, but if you really want to understand the value of our site, there's no better way then to read actual success stories and compliments sent to us from our readers.

“It was your site that encouraged me to try auctions and I’ve never looked back. Your site’s advice on auction strategy and player valuations were instrumental to winning one auction league and being the runner-up in another at WCOFF this past year. Total winnings in 2007: $16,500. I can’t thank you enough.
Robert Brotzman
“Fantasyguru.com has every right to tout itself as #1 site in the industry. The information, projections, news and database functions that you have keep you head and shoulders above the competition. You are the New England Patriots of Fantasy Football web-sites.”
M. Cleland
I work for ESPN/Scouts, Inc. and am really fond on your service. It is extremely impressive.
Matt Williamson, ESPN/Scouts, Inc.
“You cut across the grain a little bit this year and advised to take a QB earlier than usual. I bought in and I got Tom Brady in the 3rd round. You also convinced me to take Adrian Peterson in the 4th, and those two picks made me look like a genius in my league.”
P. Ranalli
“I think if you add much more to the site I won't be able to leave my chair.”
T. Bordelon
“My passing on the top TEs and getting Jason Witten based on your advice was the difference in my season – especially since you also convinced me to take Tony Romo!”
G. Carpenter
“The bottom line is you guys have been at this for a very, very long time and it shows. It’s a great feeling to wake up every day and know there’s some top-notch content to be read.”
M. Stuck
“You consistently have the best analysis and identify the rising players and key pickups before anyone else. What else can I say, FantasyGuru rocks!”
R. Noonan
“Using the custom roster analysis tool was a big help in selecting my starting lineup each week, saving me the time of not having to do all the research.”
C .Cameron
“You guys don’t make a very big deal of it, but you continue to add more and more and the site gets better and better each year. The information and analysis is always very strong, but in the last 3-4 years you’ve really added a ton of great technical stuff, and now the Podcasts and Video reports.”
K. Delahoy
“Once again your Sunday morning lineup and injury notes saved my ass. I think now you have saved me over 100 times in the last 5-6 years!”
B. Glasco
“2007 was by far your best year on the technical end. I didn’t have one single problem, and I logged on 2-3 times a day every day.”
S. Kuehne
“I think it’s fair to say Fantasy Guru’s John Hansen is the best fantasy analyst out there. He gets stuff wrong of course, but I have the most faith in his opinions, and his writing style is very entertaining.”
S. Edwards
“The Podcasts were an awesome addition this year. It’s really something to hear two of the most respected and reputable fantasy minds in Hansen and Caplan together each week…especially since I don’t have Sirius and can’t hear them on that.”
J. Carlin
“I trust the Guru info data over all other sources I've found and have leaned on it to at least make it to the semi-finals for 7 straight years, winning the championship half the time.”
N. Kahle
“I now give the GURU subscriptions out to my customers as XMAS gifts, that are how much faith I have in the Fantasy Guru service.”
S. Hiller
“I was really impressed when you started putting your player interviews up this year. How many fantasy sites get to talk to Adrian Peterson days before he makes his MNF debut? You guys did. And to hear you going over your stat projections with all these players (Cooley, Jones-Drew, etc.) days before their games was really cool.”
R. Manganiello
“I thought the Players to Trade and Trade for section was brilliant all year. It always gave a great glimpse of players whose values were likely to go down and of course up. You begged readers to trade for Jamal Lewis over and over again midseason and he delivered big time.”
R. Hodshire
“I've been doing fantasy football for twenty-plus years now. Although, I consider myself an "expert", your site solidifies the foundation of my knowledge, is very informative, extremely accurate and very helpful. Great job.”
D. Brooks
“I found that the few times I went against you and with my gut feelings on starters that your service was right most times. I'll definitely be renewing.”
T. Schuman
“Again I am impressed and glad I subscribed. I'll just say I had a "man crush" on Braylon Edwards coming in and was glad you guys agreed. I'm a lifer.”
R. Rosenbloom
“What I like most was the ability to set up custom projections for each leagues scoring system. I walked in on draft day with my own customize cheat sheets based on whatever wacky scoring system the league setup and each week I got great projections for what players were best. I don't even pretend to make my own picks... but I win.”
R. Lauther
“Yet again I find myself in the championship game of a very savvy 12 team league. This is the second time in five years. I also finished 3rd twice. No doubt this is due the Fantasy Guru site. It all starts with the draft and the top 150 and some luck. I drafted eighth in a 12 team league and have been extremely fortunate to have the best draft I have ever had. Joe Addai, Brandon Jacobs, Randy Moss, Greg Jennings, Wes Welker, Marques Colston, Chris Cooley, James Jones, Jon Kitna, Brett Favre, Minn Defense, Vincent Jackson, Derrick Mason, Kenton Keith off waivers after dropping who the initial backup was. I later picked up Ryan Grant.”
E. Kelly
“I want to comment on your fantasy baseball coverage. You don't seem to hype it that much, but I also want to comment on how useful that information is. Please continue to offer this coverage. I enjoy it very much.”
S. Bocek
“FantasyGuru.com is the greatest thing to hit the internet since PORN... and you don't have to Alt-TAB when your wife comes looking over your shoulder. I did recommend to a work buddy - who then won his league. He's still pissed that I beat him to Ryan Grant (Thanks Guru) and won the work league too.”
D. Hale
“The best coverage anywhere no exceptions! The league that I play in utilizes IDP and I needed some help on the defensive side of the ball and with the use of your site my team was very competitive this year due to my dominating defense.”
T. Salch
“The tools and the inside NFL knowledge put me at the top of my league. I was able to drop injured players and pickup a replacement before the other football sites would report it.”
J. Frazier
“The site has more than enough tools with great info to help guide you to total domination in any fantasy football league.”
P. Ocken
“I use a team defense and I think the coverage has been good. Your prediction that Green Bay Defense would be strong has helped us a lot along the way.”
G. Pennacchio
“I have been using this site for 11 years now, stating in '08 and am always at the top of my league. the info that is obtained on this site from the preseason all the way through to the end of the year is the best around, thanks for Adrian Peterson, Andre Johnson and Brandon Marshall.”
S. Taylor
“2007 was my first year using Fantasy Guru. In the past, I had (unfortunately) subscribed to other sites. I initially heard about John Hansen via Sirius satellite radio and decided to check out the site. Wow...what a great product. I am thoroughly impressed with the depth of information and the organization of the website, which is very important to me.
N. Breit
“I finally had to send in a thank you. I have been in a massive 16 team league for 7 years. My first four were brutal. I became a subscriber of Fantasy Guru four years ago. Since then, I have been in the championship game for 3 straight years, finally winning this year. In fact, your heads up about the weather in the Packers/Bears game caused me to start Bironas instead of Crosby at kicker. Had I not made that late change, I would not have won.”
B. Kleber
“You guys have been a huge source of my success this year. I've lost 6 players to ACL type injuries and have used the WW to ride into the league Super Bowl. Thanks for all the diligent effort and timely info.”
R. Atkins
“This site has been excellent for me. The breakdowns of the games and many different tools to help pick lineups have helped me to make decisions very quickly. I would renew every year if the site stayed with the same tools and information. All I can say is - excellent.”
S. Dayton
“I kept reading on your site how Laurence Maroney scared you as an early pick and that he was the best choice for an early RB bust so I decided to pass on him for Terrell Owens in the 2nd round. That piece of advice alone netted me best record, so thanks!”
A. Ladd
“Thanks for all your hard work. You make it much easier to manage my team and do the dirty work for me (production tracker, points allowed tool, etc). It puts me in a position to make an educated decision each time I have a tough choice to make.”
J. Furtek
“Your site was very useful this year in keeping all information up to date. The waiver wire was helpful in picking up players that were two weeks out. I will be subscribing to your web site next year.”
T. Landers
“Your preseason stuff rocks. You were right on about Adrian Peterson. We snagged him in the 4th round and have been riding him ever since. We are in a very competitive league and we have been in the playoffs 3 of 5 years, missing one year by 2 total points.”
S. Piazza
“First year in Fantasy Football - heard you on Sirius - logged on - signed up. In two different 12 team leagues with two brothers, I am in the championship game in one and have bragging rights in both. Don't think I would have had the success without your service. Yes, you can find all the info for free - but my time is worth having it ALL IN ONE PLACE.”
D. Sillick
“I have been a faithful subscriber to your service now for over 10 years (I Think), and I am very pleased with the results. I am pretty well despised by the other league members for always avoiding the toilet bowl, and they are well aware that I use a service for my information, but I will not tell the source (sorry about that).”
S. Weigt
“I've been in an incredibly competitive 14-team league for the last 6 years and have made playoffs 5 times out of those 6 years (top 4 teams go each year). I know it’s a fact I've made the playoffs so much because of FantasyGuru.com. I follow all of your advice and it always brings me to the top.”
F. Ciampi
“This is the first year I subscribed and I'm glad I did, because I started the season 0-4 with the worst luck. At that point my hope was to try to finish respectably with a 7-6 record. Well, I did finish respectably and I squeaked into the playoffs. I won my first two playoff games and now my team is in the SB this week. However this turns out, your advice and analysis all season long helped me get here.”
C. Reynolds
“Love the Podcasts. I don't have Sirius, so this is the only chance I get to hear John/Adam. The Monday morning review is great. The email updates are great because I am blocked from your site while at work.”
D. Steffen
“Your service definitely gives me an advantage. I love the comments from other teams when I draft a player or make a waiver move that, to them, seems odd - but to me is the "obvious" move based on your info/rankings.”
S. McCown
“I have used other pay sites for fantasy football for a few years. I found your site through a newspaper column in our local paper. I went to your site to check it out, I'm very impressed with the site. It contains accurate and reliable information. Other sites report rumors as news which is misleading.”
D. Pailet
“Of all Fantasy Football web sites I have used over the past 23 years, Fantasy Guru.com is the most complete! Your weekly projections are as accurate as any I have found; combined with the Production Tracker, Game Center, etc. you provide information that helps me not "leave points on the bench" each week. In addition, the weekly roster tools help me stay one step ahead of the competition to continually improve my roster during the season.”
R. Stevenson
“I was the doormat of our league the first three seasons before subscribing to Fantasy Guru. Since then, I have gone 23-8-1 and won back-to-back league championships. The information you provide gives me the edge I need to survive and prosper in the increasingly competitive world of Fantasy Football. I can not thank you enough!”
M. Lenhart
“The preseason coverage has helped me to ace my drafts, and the regular season coverage has kept me on top of my game week in and week out. I no longer have to subscribe to multiple sites. Everything I want and need is right here!”
C. Stuvek
“As the competition keeps getting tougher and tougher in the leagues that I play in, you guys help keep me ahead of the game.”
D .Duvall
“I use you almost exclusively to pick my IDPs each year and I'm consistently on top of my local league as far as IDPs go.”
D. Hart
“I have not missed a single fantasy football playoff since I started paying attention to your draft recommendations 4 years ago! I have tried many, but you are far and away the top football site.”
A. Eves
“This is the first year that I subscribed here, after playing for 15 years. Other sites are more formula driven and lose some of the art. Other sites are all art, and no science. You get it right.”
K Simpson
“I'm hated as the only three in a row champ and 4th ring in six years. Your contribution was immense is achieving those goals.”
D. Crowley
“I felt the draft strategy was dead on. The weekly projections were great - I really appreciate the "misfires." No one has a crystal ball and you guys aren't afraid to own up to mistakes. It also seems that you learn from it and add that knowledge to your DB.”
S. Kauffman
“I've been playing FF since 1994 and have always been skeptical of "Pay Sites." I can honestly say that the draft and weekly advice from John Hansen has made this the best, and most profitable, year I've ever had.”
D. Weber
“I am not really a die hard sports guy. I just know how to read reports and rankings and use them to make good decisions. Fortunately, even with about half of the guys in my league now using your site, it seems many get a bit of information overload and don't manage their teams as well as they should.”
D. Kinsey
“This was my 20th year of playing fantasy football. It is so nice to now have a resource that is so comprehensive and thorough, that I do not need to go elsewhere for information. If I want ADP information - it's on this site. Rankings? In depth analysis? Strength of Schedule? EVERYTHING is at FantasyGuru.com!”
C. Wakefield
“Once again, your service excelled. As a change of pace, I subscribed to a competitor of yours this year, just to get a different perspective. After a few weeks, I basically auto-deleted all of their emails. The other service offered nothing of interest or even real quality, just massive amounts of information which I had to mine for useful nuggets. Guru finds the nuggets, and gives them to me in a useful format.”
B. Maynard
“You guys NAILED it this year with Adrian Peterson. Drafting him was like getting lightning in a bottle. I was hesitant with the pick but pulled the trigger. It is pretty safe to say that this service provides the goods and provides it well. I always feel in control in my leagues and have confidence that I am going to do well. The information provided here is tremendous and I would not spend my money anywhere else.”
B. Hanley
“Best part of site is the weekly free agent waiver listings and matchups analysis the site provides. Absolutely the best service ever.”
S. Mangrum
“You were very high on Minnesota and Green Bay in the preseason and they both had terrific years. Nice call.”
M. Tolan
“I have been involved in fantasy football since the late 80s your site in far and away the best I have ever come across. That being said I think your site is inexpensive for all you offer. As long as you have the site I will never look elsewhere.”
S. Kastner
“I subscribed to the web site for the football information and I think you guys do a great job, but I also really enjoyed the baseball information. Keep it going.”
J. Sheridan
“I know there is an incredible amount of work that goes into giving us the best and at least from this happy long-time subscriber, the appreciation cannot be stated enough. Thank you once again for the best and only source of news and info and I look forward to the coming season and brilliant, must read off-season reports!”
R. Gile
“I was amazed again this year, when I thought about how much work that you guys must be doing to get all of this information to guys like me. Thank you for all of your hard work, it makes my fantasy football season a pleasure, even when my team doesn't do so well.”
A. Loiselle
“All the other sites praised Vince Young and ranked him as a top quarterback, but not Fantasy Guru. You said to avoid him and I’m glad I listened.”
M. Daveler
“I was skeptical of all pay sites but I know Fantasy Guru has been around for eons and had a good reputation so I gave it a shot. Now I think it’s ludicrous not to invest the $1 a week this site costs.”
R. Vandertie
“Nice job on the analysis this year. It was more in-depth and detailed then ever, and that’s really saying something because you’ve always put out a ton of stuff.”
R. Hodshire
“I
love the custom rankings capability. Other sites just offer rankings
on one basic scoring system. Being able to customize it based on
your own league's system is very valuable.”
B.
Hardcastle
Just wanted to say thanks for the Fantasy Guru this year. This has been my first year using your service and your weekly content and insights have helped fuel my success in 2007. I'm having a dream season including having some top teams in the national contests (NFFC, AFFL, PAYDAY).
M. Bayley
“I would like to thank you for a wonderful fantasy season. Your contents were always on the money and I thoroughly enjoyed the theory articles regarding strategy.”
M. Ryan
