The infiltration of twitter as a resource for fantasy news and information has grown astronomically since it was launched in 2006. If you're a fantasy enthusiast and you're not actively using twitter as a fantasy resource, you're definitely missing out.
How can using twitter be beneficial for fantasy football?
- Receive in-game updates from those covering the game and those who are watching providing their knowledge and opinions
- Get injury info and stats updates in realtime
- Postgame information, links, opinions, press conference updates, etc
- Grow your network and build your name in the industry. Converse with media, athletes, reporters and fantasy-minded individuals to help you make the right decisions for your fantasy team.
Twitter is only as valuable as the people you follow, so if you're not following the right people, the source as a whole isn't being used to it's fullest extent.
