Know what informs the advice
Multiple sources.
Visible disagreements.
The skill can combine supported projection feeds, rescore their statistics for your league, and incorporate dated news and usage evidence. It shows gaps when the available evidence is incomplete.
Player projections
Supported ESPN, CBS, and FantasyPros data, plus authorized imports. Compare the forecasts behind each recommendation.
Your league and draft
Scoring, lineup requirements, draft position, and confirmed keepers. Local live mode also uses recorded picks and current rosters.
Supporting research
Dated news, usage metrics, and market information when researched or supplied. Add context to your shortlist and the decisions ahead.
Two ways to use the same skill
Prepare your plan.
Or update advice as you draft.
A skill is a package of instructions and scripts you give an AI assistant. Choose the experience that fits your setup. The code is free; assistant accounts and usage may cost money.

Inspect the reasoning.
You can check the source code, reproduce the example, and revisit saved live-session decisions. Follow the reasoning from your league’s rules to your next pick.
What to know before relying on the advice
- Projections and modeled opponent behavior can be wrong. Utility is a decision score, not a prediction of wins or additional season points.
- Data refreshes when you request and run an update. Recording a pick updates the draft state, not the underlying player news.
- Coverage and wait comparisons depend on available data and explicit assumptions. Source disagreement does not automatically disqualify a recommendation.
- Supported: snake or linear redraft, zero or one keeper per team, and supported scoring and lineup rules. Dynasty, multi-keeper optimization, and auction bidding are outside the shipped draft model.
Built by Nico Neugebauer
Built for my league.
Open for yours.
I built Fantasy Draft Analyst for my own league because rankings alone couldn’t explain the tradeoffs I was making. Drafting with it exposed weaknesses in the original approach.
This release adds multiple-source evidence, actual draft context, and clearer assumptions—so you can inspect the advice and challenge it.
