4for4 Fantasy Football Accuracy

If there's one thing that we've learned in our decades of experience playing fantasy football, it's that consistently accurate preseason and in-season rankings are the foundation for success.

We're proud to have John Paulsen, one of fantasy football's most accurate experts, on staff, working hard every day to provide our subscribers with the most accurate rankings and projections available.

Paulsen was named the Most Accurate Fantasy Football Expert by FantasyPros in both 2010 and 2014 and was the runner-up in 2011 and 2019. In 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2020 he finished inside the top four.

According to FantasyPros, no one has been more consistently accurate than Paulsen, who has finished inside the Top 10 in 10 of the last 12 seasons.

Paulsen’s draft rankings are accurate as well. From 2015 to 2017, he finished 8th out of 77 experts/sites that were tracked via FantasyPros. Under a different FantasyPros methodology from 2011 to 2014, Paulsen’s draft rankings finished 4th out of 32 experts/sites that were tracked during that span.

Another site that tracks fantasy rankings accuracy, FantasyNation, named Paulsen the second-most accurate expert in both 2020 and 2021. Paulsen also had the most accurate draft rankings in 2019 and the third most accurate draft rankings of 2020, per Fantasy Nation.

4for4 Founder, Josh Moore, finished in the FantasyPros Top 5 in both 2010 and 2011, an impressive feat, while finishing second to only John in the 2011 FF Librarian/FSTA preseason rankings study. In 2012, Josh turned the 4for4 rankings over to John so that he could develop other areas of the site, though the two continuously discuss the rankings throughout the season.

Our forecasting process places emphasis on offensive tendencies, strength of schedule and player talent via predictive modeling. This process allows us to effectively deliver fantasy football results that are measurable, objective and consistently replicated, and our success in the various accuracy studies only confirms that we're good at what we do.

By becoming a subscriber, you'll be able to draft and manage your team with the confidence that you'll have the most consistently accurate rankings at your disposal.

Why isn't John Paulsen participating in the FantasyPros accuracy contest?

After winning the competition twice (2010, 2014), finishing in second place twice (2011, 2019), and finishing in the top-10 in 10 of his 12 seasons, John's accuracy record speaks for itself. FantasyPros used to drive a lot of traffic to 4for4, but that is no longer the case and it was determined that it was no longer worth it to make John's rankings viewable and usable by FantasyPros' users and the site's tools.

John is now free to give his 100% honest take on a particular situation--an afternoon kickoff injury, for example--as opposed to "safety ranking" a player that he doesn't think will play so that he doesn't get penalized for accuracy.
