RotoExperts is looking to bring personalized content each and every fantasy football league with a new service it calls the Fantasy Grinder. The Fantasy Grinder will bring personalized game write-ups to fantasy football leagues. Designed to immerse fantasy players in a much more realistic experience, it promises to offer a personal experience unlike any other in fantasy sports.

According to Scott Engel of RotoExperts:

“The Fantasy Grinder, initially designed for football, produces newspaper-style results for every fantasy football matchup in every league, in every week. All results and reports are customized to feature unique results and writeups for every individual matchup in your league every week. Skinned in an entertaining package that includes a fantasy “reporter” who spotlights actual key results and decisions, the game recaps include pointing out good decisions by fantasy owners, and take the losing owners to task for their questionable choices.”

In other words, instead of just looking at the results of your matchup, there would be a “recap” option, much like a real-life boxscore. Fantasy Grinder will also include the option for fantasy players to add their own comments (read: trash talk) into the article, to add an extra special touch to it. Here is some sample output below:

The Fantasy Grinder is the kind of product that works really well with a fantasy commissioner product; however, RotoExperts does not have one. Which makes you wonder if a commissioner offering is in the works for RotoExperts, or if the Fantasy Grinder is something that it plans to license out to other fantasy sites. Something to watch out for there.

Automated sports content is suddenly becoming a bit of a hot new trend as StatSheet announced last month that it plans to look to automate sports reporting. From a business perspective, the ability to automate content could be a gold mine for sports sites, since there is so much going on that can be reported, but it is so time intensive to do that. Creating written content is the single most labor intensive part of sports reporting out there, and the hope there is a way of automating it might change things. If you apply a product like the Fantasy Grinder to a site like Yahoo! Fantasy Sports’ fantasy leagues, it would lead to tens of millions of extra page views every week for Yahoo!, which would lead to a nice little chunk of change every week.

Sometimes, you have to go outside your own pool of resources to find something interesting. RotoExperts is hosting its Fight for Your Write! fantasy baseball article contest. Anyone is open to submit his best fantasy baseball article to the competition. The winner will have his article published plus receive a nice trove of prizes, including a copy of Major League Baseball 2K10, an Evan Longoria Fathead Jr., and a Buffalo Wild Wings hooded sweatshirt.

There are millions of fantasy baseball players out there and at least half of them think they can give better fantasy advice than most of the experts out there. That is where they are wrong. Knowing which players to recommend and writing good fantasy experts are two very different things. In to compete in this contest, not only will the winner have to make some solid fantasy advice, the article will have to be well-written, and most importantly, make convincing arguments. But, to win the contest, the article will probably actually have to be enjoyable and entertaining.

If you think you have the writing chops to win RotoExpert’s Fight of Your Write! challenge and enter. Entries are due by 5pm on April 2nd.

Good luck!

We are one week into Fantasy Ethos’ March Madness and promise of 65 posts this month. This marks the twelth post of the month and puts us right around schedule. With that in mind, here are some links to get your brain going this Monday:

• Inaugural FantasyFootball.com Roundtable Discussion (FantasyFootball.com) It is March, and these guys are discussing what the fantasy foootball season will bring. Questions that will not be fully answered until December. Hey, someone has to get the ball rolling on these discussions.
• Do’s and don’ts of fantasy (SI.com) David Sabino provides fantasy baseball drafting tips that are likely to keep you from making any serious mistakes. If still have not hit your stride in fantasy baseball (or even if you have), you might want to check it out. Always good to get back to basics.
• KFFL Reaches Multisport Deal with RotoExperts (Fantasy Sports Business) Matt Schauf has picked up a tip that KFFL will now syndicate RotoExperts’ NASCAR, golf, and soccer content. Since KFFL does not currently have golf or soccer, nor a very robust NASCAR site, this deal allows it to add additional content to its site without too much additional hassle and cost, since syndication is generally a cheaper alternative than producing the content yourself.

Keep on coming back here, because there are always more treats for you on Fantasy Ethos
