The Visual / Media Team
Evolving from the common “Fantasy Football Blog” into a “Fantasy Football Media Company.”
Overall Mission: To create unique, engaging, and top-notch visual content that informs and/or entertains like no other fantasy football site ever has.
Why – The Motivation
After sitting (and swallowing back puke) through various NFL Network or ESPN Fantasy Broadcasts, the need for quality “Fantasy TV” became abundantly clear. By creating programming and graphics that informs and actually entertains in equal measures, Roto Street Journal can revolutionize the way fantasy content is delivered and establish a unique identity amidst this crowded pack.
What – Example Products
Far from an exhaustive list, here’s a few examples of multimedia content we would like to produce or enhance for the future:
Video
- “Fantasy TV”— Both LIVE Broadcasts and Produced Episodes. Examples:
- Sunday Preview Show: A Mixture of Preproduced Segments with LIVE – Sit / Start Broadcasts
- “Around the Fantasy Horn” – Roundtable Tackling of Burning Fantasy Questions each night / week
- Monday Recap: Lessons Learned, Big Board Movement, and Waiver Wire Lookaheads
- The Nightly Fantasy “Rundown” ala Barstool, with Fantasy Specific Angles
- Fantasy Stock Profiles – Video Montages on each player highlighting their “Stock Score” and Fantasy Outlook. Similar to the NFL Top-100 Clips, but with a Fantasy Angle / Assigning of Stock Grades:
- “Vlogs” – that documents our journey and brainstorming, a sort of “Peek Behind the Curtain” of our evolution as a business and company (especially to build for a Summer Tour we are planning). I like Gary Vee’s style of Vlogs or Barstool’s “Stool Scenes” as templates. The goal would be telling the brand’s story, our own individual members’ stories, all while giving fantasy and life advice.
- Humor / Viral Videos:
- “Mockumentaries” – Like “American Vandal,” recreating a Last Place Punishment in an over-exaggerated “Documentary” way. The loss, the buildup to the event, interviews with the party and league members, watching the punishment itself.
- Face-Swapping: Example – Face swapping Dalvin Cook onto Leonardo Dicaprio as he’s let out into the ocean during the Titanic as a clip about releasing him to the Waiver Wire. A favorite example of quality FaceSwapping:

- Cartoons / Animations – Short Animation clips of funny rambles we have (like Blake Bortles walking down the street in London…) or heated debates we are having. We also could run full time weekly animation series, depending on availability and talent.

Who – People We’re Recruiting:
Team Members Needed:
Essentially we are looking for our own versions of Barstool’s “Milmore” or Gary Vaynerchuck’s “DRock” to expand our product offerings, in addition to our own:
- Open Broadcast Software (OBS) Gurus – to revolutionize our live broadcasts
- Video Editors – For all types of post production clips, segments, and full shows
- Photoshop Wizards – for the infographics + humor team
- Cartoonists and Animators
- Filmers – for building “vlog” content
In general, any visionaries and bright minds who are interested in brainstorming and working on visual content, projects, and are aligned with our goal of taking over the Fantasy Football world.
