They also looked at how fans of various teams perform in fantasy . . . and they found that Arizona Cardinals fans are the BEST at running pretend teams.  Los Angeles Chargers fans are also good, as are Las Vegas Raiders fans.

If you're looking to dominate your league, bring in some Baltimore Ravens fans.  They kinda suck at fantasy football.  Tampa Bay Bucs fans do the second-worst.

Here are some other fun findings . . .
