If you have visited Fantasy Players lately, gone is its circa-2001 CBSSports.com looking website. Now, Fantasy Players is a consolidated Twitter feed for some of the Fantasy Players network’s fantasy football expert. In addition, the fantasy advice is now powered by the McDonald’s Dollar Menu.

Fantasy Players has always been a showcase for Fantasy Sports Ventures’ (FSV) network of affiliates. This site change actually reduces the amount of information available to fantasy players as it only showcasing content from six fantasy sites, instead of the dozens and dozens of FSV affiliates that were showcased on Fantasy Players.

Fantasy Sports Ventures is attempting show that it is innovative by having a Twitter-themed fantasy site, but this site make it seem like they are just following the latest buzz word. Any Twitter user would recognize the site as just multiple Twitter feeds that he could just follow on his own. What is really odd about the site is the fact that the twitter @fpntweets account (which is actually an interesting feed) has entirely different content than what you see on the twitterized Fantasy Players.

This is not the first time Fantasy Players has changed itself for a sponsor. During the 2009 March Madness, Fantasy Players redirected to Bobby Knight’s and Billy Packer’s Survive and Advance site, which was sponsored by Irish Spring. Expect this current rendition of Fantasy Players to be a temporary move as well.
