With Tom Brady a first round pick last year, fantasy football teams were dealt a crucial blow to their season with his season-ending injury. If those owners had taken out a fantasy sports insurance policy on Brady, at least their wallets might have been. That is the kind of service that Fantasy Sports Insurance provides, and this year, Fanball players using its commissioner product, will have the opportunity to insure their players and teams against a season-ending injury.
With Fantasy Sports Insurance being a secondary service, integration into a commissioner platform is key for the business’ success. Scoring a relationship with Fanball is a major accomplishment for Fantasy Sports Insurance.
No details of how the relationship will work between the two companies. I imagine there will be some sort of revenue share on the insurance premiums paid, and that fantasy football players will be able to seamlessly take out policies on their players and teams.
Well done.

This sounds very interesting and I will highly consider it once I draft my team. I figure some guys are more prone to injury then other.
