I never used to get excited about the football season until about August, but after winning my first money league last year and getting much more involved in the trash talking, I’m looking forward to it already. With June here and August right around the corner I thought I would compile a short list of fantasy football insiders, experts and enthusiasts on twitter to help keep you informed and also included a bonus top 10 NFL players on twitter:

1.??@fantasycrowd1- An awesome new site positioning themselves as the facebook of fantasy sports. Create a profile, update your status, read the blogs, make a comment, create a league, talk trash with other fantasy players of your caliber, get a draft kit…pretty much everything you need in one spot if you’re a fantasy sports enthusiast.

2.??@daverichard, Dave Richard- NFL stat predictor and talent evaluator for cbssportsline.com. One of the best around, you can check out his columns and he is also featured in weekly fantasy football videos.

3.??@fftoolbox- One of my favorite fantasy football websites. They have tons of free features on their site like 3rd year receivers, running backs +29, strength of schedule and much more. I’d highly recommend their site and following them on twitter.

4.??@ffcalculator- Gives updated average draft positions weekly with data from thousands of drafts and color-coded so it’s easy to read. They also have a Lineup Calculator to find who to start/sit, analyze trades, and find free agents with. Instantly see if a trade will improve or hurt your team. They also have a blog.

5.??@ffootball Hourly updates about everything from 09’ team outlooks, to who’s missing OTA’s, to who is trying the wildcat offense and even a glimpse of Michael Vick’s new life…yeah they’re on top of things.

6.??@draftsharks- Fantasy Football Leaders Since 1999. Free weekly start/sit, pick-up/drop and weekly rankings. Timely updates on NFL headlines and player news along with a handy fantasy football forum.

7.??@ff101- beginning their 5th season of Fantasy Football 101 this August on www.sportsradio1450.com. They’ll bring you injury updates, who to play and who not play, as well as their studs, duds and sleepers every Saturday morning at 8:05am.

8.??@vote4parag- a self-proclaimed “average guy” however has proven himself to be very knowledgeable and definitely worth a follow. He made a couple very nice comments on the first ever twitter mock draft that were very informative, regularly tweets good fantasy info and just created a new blog called mockumentary.

9.??@mikepera- Owner and Creator of FantasyDraftTools.com. A tool that helps league commissioners organize their draft much easier. Fantasy Football, Fantasy Baseball and Fantasy Hockey Draft Tool / Cheatsheet.

10.?@familyfantasy- Fantasy sports are very popular nowadays and this site caters to kids and grown-ups that would like to enjoy fantasy sports in a family atmosphere. Their fantasy leagues are designed to be simple to use and provide endless opportunities for kids and grownups to spend time together and build stronger, healthier relationships.

By the way, if you haven’t tried twitter yet you are really missing out in my humble opinion. One can really find a wealth of useful up-to-date information, entertaining material and make connections with many others that you otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to. Here are my top 10 NFL players that use twitter and their twitter profile names, oh and don’t forget to follow me too @daveseidl ;):
