Here at Fantasy Football Starters, we like to think we've got a great tool that provides the best fantasy football analysis found anywhere. You, our users, have provided validation by letting us know that your teams are thriving thanks to our picks, and you've kept us honest by telling us when we missed the mark.

But the proof's in the pudding, so we decided to conduct an in-depth analysis of how our weekly rankings stack up against the best in the business.You know who they are: the "gurus," some of whom charge $50, $100 bucks or more so you can have the pleasure of reading their prognostications. Could the Power Line-Up Analyzer (PLA) take on these gods of the gridiron and win? You already know the answer. See the graphs below.

After going head-to-head with a panel of six nationally recognized experts/sites for seven straight weeks, the PLA made the best starting line-up pick at all positions, on average, nearly 60% of the time! Not one of the experts made more correct calls than the PLA over the duration of the analysis.

Scored by week, the PLA won 5 out of 7 weeks, a 71% winning percentage against the best minds in Fantasy Football.

What does this mean for you? It means confidence that you're getting the best advice possible in deciding who to start and who to sit, week in and week out. And if you're wasting time on the "free" sites or shelling out big bucks for the "big boys" and their predictions, save your money! Playoff teams have some huge decisions to make this week. Don't make a move without consulting the PLA. Register now!

Notes: In conducting this analysis, we compared the PLA against "free" services found on the Web, as well as "pay/premium" services. Percentage Ratings were used to identify who (percentage wise) was most accurate in the groupings at all positions at every 5 players. For example, QBs 1-5, 1-10, 1-15, etc. Each service was given a percentile equivalent of how many players they placed within the grouping. The percentages from each grouping were then added together to get an overall percentage total at each position.
