Story
I’ve been playing fantasy football since 2006 — twenty seasons. For most of those years I ran one or two leagues. In 2023 I jumped into dynasty, and within a year I was managing more rosters than I could keep in my head. The unlock wasn’t free time. It was finally learning how to actually use the data.
I’m blind. That cuts both ways in fantasy. Every app I tried had friction sighted users never notice — stats trapped inside an unlabeled chart, filters you can only reach with a mouse, player news that updates silently. So I leaned on what does work for me: stat lines, target shares, snap counts, analyst tape breakdowns on audio, and advanced metrics that travel well as text.
That accidentally made me a better fantasy player. I was already evaluating players the way successful managers do — numbers and tape first, vibes last.
Why FF Beacon
Two things were obvious. First, there’s a massive gap in fantasy resources for people who don’t already speak analytics. Second, almost nothing was built for fantasy players who use a screen reader.
FF Beacon is my attempt to close both at once. Every component is checked against keyboard navigation, semantic HTML, and screen reader announcements before it ships. Every guide explains the analytic before it asks you to use it.
If you’ve ever felt locked out of fantasy football by the jargon or the interface — this site is for you. Read it by ear or by eye. It works both ways.

Tools I rely on
The apps, assistive tech, and audio I lean on every week to stay sharp.
Where my leagues live. Public APIs make it the only host worth syncing against.
My daily driver across every interface. Free, open-source, and built by the community that actually depends on it.
A daily rotation of redraft, dynasty, and best ball shows because tape breakdowns travel better by ear than by chart.
