It'd be nice to search with just last name - found that it will only match if I type the first name too.
Nice job, hope to see more features down the road.
I run FantasySP, which has been monitoring rosters for years now. Though the biggest difference is that we want our users to sync their fantasy league so their rosters are always up to date. When big news happens, injury or otherwise, we email the user immediately.
In fact, we also monitor the waiver wire for you.

Looks awesome but I'm having trouble adding my MFL league to sync. The URL works fine and all the teams are listed. I select mine and it appears to accept it, but then tells me I don't have a team selected for the league. When I go into Fantasy Assistant and try to select my team there, only 3 of our 12 teams are listed in the drop-down, none of which are mine.
Very odd! Sorry about that.
Email me brant [at] fantasysp.com with your league URL and username so I can take a closer look.

Nice! A great resource for anyone who has bloody Ersan "The Turkish Teacup" Ilyasova on their team. Always giving me fits.
Push notifications to my mobile device on a status change would be most excellent.
(Ask HN: HNBA fantasy bball league anyone?)

You kind of asked for it if you picked Ersan, though. He gets injured quite often.
(Sure, why not. A bit late though, isn't it?)

As for the website, it looks good. Maybe I'm missing something but do I have to search for players specifically? Can't I just browse player information league by league? (Sort of like what Rotoworld does here: http://www.rotoworld.com/playernews/nba/basketball-player-ne...)

So true. He's not even the worst. My team would be rocking a fantasy hospital league right now.
Yeah. Suppose so. Maybe next year we can get one going. Good to know there are other fantasy NBA fans on HN, though.

Yeah, lots of devastating injuries this year.
I don't know if there are other fantasy NBA fans on HN, but I'm sure there are a lot of NBA fans. I've seen a few instances where people built something regarding the NBA. I don't know a lot about other sports, but analytics is also a very hot topic in the NBA for a couple of years now, so I'm sure there are NBA nerds reading HN (Wouldn't be surprised to see someone from APBR, for instance).

I'd be up for a HNBA fantasy league this year or next.
Good to see some fantasy NBA fans here! A friend and I finally released Fantasy MVP (for iOS). It's designed for users who have multiple Yahoo! and ESPN basketball leagues. Get all your scores in one easy to read list, no more switching between apps, and no ads. I just wanted one scoreboard for all my leagues, so a friend and I built this.
Try it out! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fantasy-mvp/id738774993?mt=8...

One thing that I noticed was when signing up the password is sent across (with the username) in the query string in plain text. After that gets updated I would be very interested in spending more time with this!
Thanks a lot for the feedback, I will definitely get that form doing a true POST, note the site is run over SSL so there is transport security.
You should implement an import feature for hardcore fantasy players to import their various teams - your paid subscriptions are gonna come from these guys, it should be easy as possible for them to use.
I agree that this would be really cool, although as a hardcore fantasy player, I use twitter as my number 1 source for game-time decisions. It has the most up-to-date information, which is crucial for making roster changes on gameday.
May I ask what the source of the injury news is for this app? I'm guessing it's ESPN.

Thanks for the feedback and I agree 100%, the biggest new features will include integrating with existing fantasy services.
Nice work.
It seems that you can only search by entering the first name. It will be cool to search with last name only.
For the players pictures, did you think about the potential legal problem?

Can I suggest putting image size information directly in the html (or at least in a css class) to avoid end-user dizziness?
Great suggestion, I've noticed it too...thanks!
Great job!
Would be nice if searching by last name was implemented...
