N.C. [1.28.09]
Just wanted to say that thanks to Draft Sharks, I won a league, a league that I was asked to join at the last minute due to one of the owners not being able to make it. Most of the people in the league were from DC, including a bunch of Congressional staffers, and even a Member of Congress! Supposedly this league has been around for a while, and while it isn't for money, the level of intensity among the owners and the bragging rights that go to the winner are certainly worth something. Here are some moves that you guys helped me make; leading to a Championship.
In the 2nd round drafting Larry Fitzgerald
In the 3rd round drafting Thomas Jones (Draft Sharks Breakout Pick of the Year)
In the 5th round drafting Greg Jennings
And picking up the following free agents- Sammy Morris, LeRon McClain, Mewlede Moore, and Tyler Thigpen
Thanks for the help Draft Sharks...the bragging has just begun!
Mike Bates [1.22.09]
Draftsharks, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I collected my winnings yesterday after winning BOTH of my leagues for the first time in 11 years!!! You guys were great during the preseason and went so far as to call me personally when I was having computer issues and walked me through it to fix it!! Great updates, projections and customer service. I'll be back next year!!!!!!
Richard An [1.28.09]
I wanted to thank you guys for all the awesome information that you provide. My results this year weren't as good as the year before but I was able to be the first repeat champion in one of my leagues and got eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in the other leagues. My point is, that regardless of being eliminated in my other two leagues, I was given a chance to go all the way. That's all we can do as Fantasy Football players is to be given a chance to be in position to win the championship and Draftsharks gives us the necessary information to do so. When I drafted Thomas Jones and Matt Forte early in the draft, everyone thought I was crazy! But you guys had them high, while the other fantasy sites had them lower, and you guys were spot on! Also, when I took Larry Fitzgerald before Braylon Edwards, everyone thought I was crazy again! Again, you guys were spot on. As I said last year, you guys are the best and I am a subscriber for life!
Kenny Lavallee, 2007 WCOFF Champion [4.17.08]
“To all of the Draft Sharks staff... Thank you for a memorable 2007 fantasy football season. Not only did Draft Sharks help me win my local league, you were crucial in me becoming the 2007 World Champion of Fantasy Football (WCOFF.com) and taking home a total of $302,500.00 in prize money! From your ‘outside of the box' player rankings (I was able to get Tom Brady, your preseason #1 QB, in the 4th round) to your in-depth player analysis, I scooped up Earnest Graham off waivers and rode his bandwagon all the way to the championship. I relied heavily on your player news, injury reporting and even weather updates which I thought were awesome. I am confident in recommending Draft Sharks to anybody. You guys are truly in a class of your own. Again, I want to thank you for helping me not only gain the respect of many great fantasy football players but also for helping me become $302,500 richer!!!"

Just for the record, your site has helped my wife and I dominate the five leagues that we are in. While I usually fail to win the championship game I am always at the top of the standings by years end. My wife is as well and she has won a couple of titles. It's a great tool and money well spent every year. A lot of my friends think my wife is the greatest draftnik ever. She always drafts great teams that compete year in and year out. The secret is that she only uses your MVP board! She never studies anything else. We set each league's parameters into the system, print out copies for each of us and that's all she uses. We play in a one 14 team league, one 12 team league, one 12 team Dynasty league and one 12 team auction league. She also plays in a 12 team league with other women and relative newbies. Once again, thanks for providing the best Fantasy News on the Net!
Steve Heyman [6.5.08]
Just wanted to let you know that you guys run a great site and offer information that other sites do not. This translates into championships. I have been using Draftsharks for many years and am the only repeat winner in my league's 12 year history and have won 2 times in the last 4 years with a 2nd and 3rd place finish as well. Thanks Draftsharks!
Al Snader [1.5.08]
Hey just wanted to "thank you" guys with helping me win 2 Fantasy Football League Championships and finish 2nd in scoring in a third. Altogether, I managed 4 teams this year and made the playoffs in all 4 leagues and if there wouldn't have been BULLBLEEP weather in Foxboro in week 15 I probably would've been in another Super Bowl. Anyway "Thanks" again for your help, keep up the great info and I look forward to using you guys again next season!!!! Take Care!
Sean Roepke [1.3.08]
Hey Fellas, Just a quick note to say thanks for all the great info this season! I drafted first overall in a 12 team serpentine (L.T.). With Brady and T.O. on the top of my cheat sheet and available at the 24 & 25 picks my decision was easy. Braylon Edwards and Portis in the 4th & 5th made for a memorable season. The timely info helped me pick up some good fill ins during the season as well. I finished 15-2 and took the big money!! Already looking forward to next year. Thanks again.
Robert Eifert [12.31.07]
Having won my league play, and second in points, I have to send my thanks to you. You've always provided a firm base, that allows me to draft a balanced, and competitive team. Some times my fellow players call me 'Bombastic' for my choices, I take this in stride. My record is one to envy, and I've you to thank. See you for the playoffs, and in the coming years.
Jamie Herzberg [12.31.07]
Gentlemen, I just wanted to thank you for your help this season. I asked questions via email, and you answered them quickly, and your info was great. Yesterday I inquired about which receivers I should start due to the week 17 wackiness, and you came back with Holmes. Had I started Washington in his stead, (which I was leaning towards,) then I would not have been LEAGUE CHAMPION! Thank you again.
Al Casale [12.27.08]
Just wanted to thank you guys for again leading me the way to another Championship season. I just won my 2nd consecutive Super Bowl and 3rd in the last five years in a very competitive, well organized 12 team league. Ranking Tom Brady as the #1 QB was your defining moment, and allowed me to draft a strong RB's corps while other teams drafted Manning, Palmer, Brees, and Bulger. I picked Brady in the third round and the rest is history. Brilliant! Happy Holidays to the entire staff of Draft Sharks.
Jay Fike [12.24.07]
Thanks for your input! I not only won my league, but absolutely smoked my opponents. I had the patience to use the guys you recommended like Gore, Jacobs, Owens, Holmes, and S. Smith that you recommended plus I was able to make some good pickups during the year - Warner, Folk, etc. It's a great feeling to win and I wanted to share my joy with you guys - have a great Christmas and I'll be back next year!
John Pierson [12.24.07]
I went to the Superbowl in both of my leagues this year, winning one and losing one (thanks alot Addai and Colston). Anyway, you gave great advice all year and I think your insight is second to none. I'll be back next year. Thanks.
John Pyen [11.25.07]
Lenny, you may not remember my email about trades, just wanted to say thanks just for replying. This is why your site is the best, highest class, and all around most accurate with a touch of balls compared to any other. Please don't become complacent and keep doing what you do. Your Lifetime subscriber, John Pyen
D. Schemann [1.15.07]
I would like to thank the Draft Sharks staff for their great job in 2006.
Relying very heavily on your opinions and player/injury updates, I was able
to win my WCOFF league ($6,000), as well as a 1st and two 2nds in my CDM Draft
and Play leagues (another $700). I came very close to cashing in several other
leagues as well. All in all, 2006 was my best fantasy year yet. Again, thanks
for your help this past season. I have already renewed my subscription for 2007.
C. Bolton [1.2.07]
Guys, I just wanted to say thanks for another great year! Thanks to you, I've
won our league championship for the 2nd year in a row!!! We've had our league
for over 9 years and this is the first time for a team to win back to back. I
maybe a victim of success as some other of my league owners are jumping on the
Draft Sharks bandwagon. Thanks again!
Trey Frazier [12.21.06]
I don’t chat much I had to come in and give big ups to Draftsharks for last week.
I was in the semi's against our league’s best team with LT and Chad Johnson. I bit
my lip and benched the hot Jon Kitna plus Shaun Alexander and Matt Stover per your
Week 15 rankings -- and stuck in J.P. Losman, M. Jones-Drew and Steve Gostkowski.
My lineup didn't look pretty but what the heck, you backed up your calls… Well
I beat this guy by 2 points and got in the LCG….! 3 TDs from Losman, oh my god I
went crazy. Losman? Then I sweated out 2 full beers when LT came back out there for
the Chargers final drive that night but he left with 2 min. to go and I escaped!
This week is for all the money and I wouldn't be here if not for some key choices
aided by the balls at DS.
Jeff Patrick [11.29.06]
Well I slipped into the playoffs with much thanks to DS for some snappy week-to-week
advice. This ‘06 has been rough with all my injuries – D. McNabb, S. Alexander – but
I’ve been grinding it out, with help from your staff. Last week I benched Michael
Vick (at home) vs N.O. and went with Tony Romo per your advice. Romo threw 5 TDs,
Vick put up a goose-egg, LOL. I probably won’t make it past the wild-card rd. because
my opponent has LT, Harrison and the Bears’ defense- but it’s been a fun ride. Draft
Sharks is a unique service with a lot of know. I’ll be back in ’07 for sure guys
R.J. “Seattle Slayers” [2.2.06]
Hey Draft Sharks just wanted to send a msg saying thanks for another great season.
I print off your weekly rankings write-ups every Thursday and take the packet to
read at lunch. I won my big-money league with my high school buddies thanks in
large part to your analysis/timely updates. I also made it to the championship
game in two other leagues (but lost) and had a very profitable 2005 fantasy season.
Your website is much like Fight Club because I don't tell anyone about DS or share
the tips you give me. They laughed when I took your breakout boys Carson Palmer &
Larry Johnson (reached out and snatched him in the 5th as you recommended)… but
they all ended up getting beat down by my surprise scrappy squad. Hee heh, good
times. Keep up the hard work and we'll see ya next year!
M.D. [5.3.05]
First off, I just wanted to say you guys are awesome…. My problem with
Draft Sharks is this: I am absolutely TERRIFIED that someone else in my
league will find out about you. I'm so worried about it, I never talk
about you, I never print out anything that might have your URL on it,
and I read your e-mails where no one might look over my shoulder. My plan
this year for our draft is to program a spread sheet and bring only my
laptop computer to sit in the corner. It IS like a poker game, and I
usually get a good look at everyone's "hand" before the draft because
they have piles of printouts from Espn.com or issues of Sporting News.
I will have your MVP draft board spreadsheet & player projections nicely
secured from enemy reconnaissance in my laptop…. I wish I could tell all
my friends about Draft Sharks. I wish I could tell all the fantasy
football players I know that there is only one place in the world they
need to go to get that extra 4% advantage that could catapult them ahead.
But all the players I know are in my league, and I would do almost anything
to keep them away from your website!
Ben Hampton [1.30.04]
You guys were the only ones who gave Anquan Boldin any love coming out of FSU.
Why don’t you brag it up a little? I swear not one other site even mentioned him
before the season started. Because of your summer updates I plucked him late in
my draft. Bee-you-tee-full. I’m steamrolling my league with Golden Boldin in my
lineup and having major fun- All Thanks to Draft Sharks.
J.N. [2.25.03]
Just wanted to send a brief testimonial on how Draft Sharks has helped me win the
Super Bowl in our league last year and be in the Super Bowl 4 of the last 5 years.
We play in a keeper league where you can keep a player in the round you drafted
them in as your next years pick in that same round. Last year due to the ranking
you had on Plaxico Burress, I retained him as my 13th rd pick instead of David Boston
who was my 4th round pick the year before. This was a tough choice considering Boston's
previous year... but it paid off. I then traded Jamel White and Kevin Johnson and a
future 4th-rd pick for Laveranues Coles b/c of your Sleeper call… Bam! Coles was gold.
I also nabbed Chad Johnson from Cincinnati off the waiver wire due to your news on him
being the best Bengals receiver… Four years ago I drafted Stephen Davis in the 13th
round due to your report that he was winning the preseason battle with Skip Hicks.
Nobody else at our draft even knew who he was but you had him quietly slotted as the
28th ranked RB. He went on to be a top rusher and had 17 TDs! There have been many picks
that have been difference makers besides these, but thought I would share these few. I
could not have won the scoring title in our league 4 out of last 5 years and been in 4
Super Bowls without the information that I have received here.
