FantasyDraftMaster.com just announced its presence and its centerpiece too, “UberRank,” a few days ago. From what we’ve seen, though, the tool could have a tough time drawing users.

The concept is to draw from a variety of fantasy football player rankings around the Web and provide one aggregate list to customers. The sample list on the site shows 53 sources of information for the compilation, and the price for the season is a very reasonable $9.95.

The only problem is that the service is already offered for free by Fantasy Football Nerd. Now, the Nerd consults 19 outlets rather than the 50-something of FDM, but at what point does the input become overkill.

If you believe firmly that more sources strengthen the product, then you should know that UberRank is out there. This industry has many examples of users paying for content and products when similar free versions exist, and I certainly wish no ill to the brothers who created UberRank.

In this case, though, I’d have a tough time justifying the expenditure.
