Fantasy News Authority serves fantasy sports participants, content researchers, and industry observers seeking reliable information on news interpretation, player transactions, injury designations, and related analytical frameworks. This page outlines the scope of inquiries the site addresses, how to structure a message for the fastest resolution, and what response timelines apply across different request categories. Understanding these parameters reduces back-and-forth and routes each inquiry to the appropriate handling process.

Service Area Covered

Fantasy News Authority operates at national scope within the United States, covering all major professional sports leagues whose player news affects fantasy sports outcomes. The site addresses fantasy-relevant developments across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and PGA Tour, as well as daily fantasy sports formats regulated at the state level under frameworks established after the passage of state-by-state daily fantasy sports statutes — the first wave of which emerged following New York's Attorney General enforcement actions in 2015 and subsequent legislative responses across more than 20 states.

Inquiries handled by this site fall into three primary categories:

1. Editorial and content questions — requests for clarification on published analysis, corrections to factual claims about player status or transaction history, or questions about methodology used in evaluating news credibility
2. Research and reference inquiries — requests related to the site's reference materials on topics such as official injury designations, news cycle timelines, or beat reporter sourcing frameworks
3. Regulatory and compliance context questions — inquiries related to the legal landscape of daily fantasy sports, including references to statutes such as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006, which exempts fantasy sports contests meeting specific criteria defined in 31 U.S.C. § 5362(1)(E)(ix)

Inquiries outside this scope — including requests for personalized lineup advice, gambling recommendations, or legal counsel — fall outside the site's editorial function and will not receive substantive responses.

What to Include in Your Message

A well-structured message reduces resolution time from days to hours. The following breakdown identifies the 5 components that make a submission actionable on first review:

1. Topic category — identify whether the inquiry is editorial, research-based, or regulatory in nature (see the three categories above)
2. Specific page or article reference — include the URL or page title of the content in question; for example, referencing injury reports in fantasy news or practice report news allows immediate context without additional back-and-forth
3. The precise claim or question — quote the specific sentence, statistic, or framework element at issue rather than describing it in general terms
4. The proposed correction or alternative source — if submitting a factual correction, identify the named public source (e.g., an official NFL injury report, an ESPN transaction wire timestamp, or a league rule document) that supports the alternative
5. Contact information — a valid email address is required; submissions without return contact information cannot receive responses

Correction submissions carry particular weight when supported by named primary sources. The site references public documents from bodies including the Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association (FSGA), the American Gaming Association (AGA), and official league transaction systems.

Response Expectations

Response timelines vary by inquiry category and volume. The following benchmarks reflect standard handling under normal operating conditions:

During high-volume periods — specifically the first 4 weeks of the NFL regular season, MLB trade deadline windows (typically late July), and NBA free agency openings — response windows may extend by 3–5 business days beyond the figures above. These periods generate the highest editorial load on breaking news alert coverage and trade deadline analysis.

Submissions that do not include the 5 components listed in the section above will receive a standardized acknowledgment requesting the missing information before substantive review begins.

Additional Contact Options

Beyond direct message submission, the site maintains indexed reference content across 40+ topic pages organized by news type, sport, and decision framework. Before submitting an inquiry, consulting the existing reference library resolves the majority of terminology and methodology questions:

• Glossary and definitions: The fantasy news glossary covers 50+ terms used in injury reporting, transaction wires, and depth chart analysis
• Credibility evaluation frameworks: The page on how to evaluate fantasy news credibility outlines source-tiering methodology and distinguishes primary beat reporter output from aggregated or derivative reporting
• Regulatory background: The regulatory context for fantasy news page addresses the federal and state-level legal structures governing daily fantasy sports, including the UIGEA carve-out and the divergence between skill-game and gambling classifications used by state attorneys general
• Decision support: Pages covering waiver decisions, start-sit decisions, and trade decisions apply news interpretation frameworks to the three highest-frequency decision types in season-long fantasy formats

For press or syndication inquiries referencing published content, include "Press Inquiry" in the subject line along with the specific article and intended use context. Such submissions are routed separately from editorial corrections and receive handling under a distinct review process with a standard 10-business-day window.
