NFBC Adds Rotowire.com Player Notes & Injury Reports

We're happy to announce that all NFBC Player Cards will now include Rotowire.com Player Notes and all of our Injury Updates will now be powered by Rotowire.com. We still have Rotoworld.com player news as well, so you'll have two sets of notes on each player card.

But we're really excited to add the Rotowire Injury Updates to make them as accurate as possible. We know the red flags are important to our owners and we believe that it was worth the expense to add a site that updates these more regularly than our previous provider. Rotowire also adds a "Return Date" for any injured player, which is a very nice new feature for our site.

We are still adding some of these features, but you should start to see more notes and injury updates today and through the early part of this week. This agreement runs through football as well, so look for added notes and better injury reports in that sport as well. Enjoy.

Great Greg! Now if you could just get them to include a card that will notify us something like "Looks good on paper, but will suck swamp water during the year" (i.e. the Eugenio Suarez or Zack Plesac Notify) that would be a real enhancement.

Along with the new injury reports, our IT team also made the injury designations more specific as you can now see on your Set Lineup and Free Agent pages. Some descriptions are IL 10 or DTD (Day to Day) for more clarity. We hope this helps your regular decisions. Good luck.

Now, if you have a bench with seven different designations, it's not much fun, but at least it will help a little.

Awesome news. If the probable pitchers could align with what Rotowire has on their chart, that'd be awesome too.

Yeah, I keep seeing HUNTER Harvey as a probable starter in my DC each week. I’m sure it’s supposed to be the other Baltimore Harvey.

I haven't noticed that with any of my players. But it seems that changes to the Rotowire projected starters take 2-3 days to populate in the NFBC pages, which is a pain for planning FAAB/lineups for the following week.
