App of the Week   - For the Fantasy Football Geeks

Fantasy Alarm - Free for both iOS and Android

For Fanatsy Football players - this app keep you up to the minute on injuries

NFL players take a beating on the field every Sunday, then do their best to recover over the course of the week before doing it all again. Bump, bruises, and even serious injuries are bound to occur over the course of a season. All of that is to be expected, but what fantasy football owners almost never expect is the game time scratch. This is an occurrence that has put an end to more than a few teams’ weeks before they even began. FantasyAlarm will make sure you don’t fall victim to the sudden roster changes by alerting you when a player on your fantasy team goes down with an injury or is deactivated before kickoff, giving you just enough time to make a quick adjustment that might save your week.
