We won’t get into technical debates about the internet and what browsers you’re using on a daily basis. We’re here to tell you about some really cool fantasy football chrome extensions that we’ve found!

When it comes to playing fantasy football with your friends, family, co-workers or total randoms, you want to win. Period.

With that desire to always win, comes the drive to always have better information than everyone you’re competing with.

We know you’re already listening to the Let’s Talk Fantasy Football podcast during the season (along with other fantasy football podcasts and websites), which is why we’ve pulled together a few chrome extensions that can help give you the edge you need.

For anyone that’s confused, you need to be using the Chrome web browser from Google for these to work for you. If you’re using something else, keep an eye out for some other fantasy football extension articles.

Without further ado, here are some of the best fantasy football extensions (that we could find) for Chrome.
