With that said, this isn’t the first article of it’s kind. Last year, our very own Albert Lang published a “How to Use Twitter & Social Media to Win Your League” piece that was very well-received. And it wouldn’t hurt you to read it again, actually.* It’s geared for baseball, but it serves the same purpose.

In case you don’t have the time to head back and read Albert’s piece, here’s one essential tip:
Aside from this, you can set up Google alerts for your closers. That way you know if your guy recorded/blew a save and if there is a closer controversy or injury you need to pay attention. If you don’t get an e-mail, you don’t have to worry.
The above can also be said about quarterback, running back, wide receiver or tight end injuries, mishaps or controversies, so pay close attention!
Additionally, our good friend David Gonos published his own version just this past week entitled “99 Fantasy Baseball Twitter Accounts You Should Follow.” Be sure to check that out as well.
