We Now Have Player Videos

The big craze these days seems to be videos. Just about every major news outlet has videos and lets fans embed them into their own pages. Thanks to the wonderful people behind the new ESPN.com, we have the ability to give you player specific videos, headline news, ESPN the Magazine articles, and even blog posts. Talk about complete player coverage!

Each player page for the NBA, NHL, NFL, and MLB has a new category called “ESPN Bonus Content”. Below is a picture of what to users who are logged into the site will see. Clearly it may be awfully handy to be able to look at fantasy player news, then pick out the latest videos with ease.

The next question may be how will the videos play? We want to make this as easy as possible so the videos will overly right on top of the same page. Take a look at the following screenshot:

Changes to Player News

FantasySP is dedicated to providing you the most accurate fantasy player news possible from dozen’s of sources. However, there is a limit to how much of each player update can be shown on our site due to legal reasons. From this day onward we can no longer show the complete player update for a number of our sources.

The good news is that most of the abbreviated player updates are accompanied with a link to the rest of the update.
