Best available, for your team
Not a static cheat sheet. DraftAid ranks every player left on the board by value to your roster: your league's scoring, your open starter slots, and the drop-off at each position.
Fantasy football draft assistant
Draft like you had a scout in the room
DraftAid sits in your live ESPN, Yahoo or Sleeper draft room. It follows every pick, suggests the best player for your roster with the reasons why, and can make your pick with DraftAid Auto-Pick when your clock is running.

98.9% of simulated ESPN standard drafts finished 1st in their room 10,000 simulated drafts against auto-ranked opponents. Simulated, not a guarantee. Pick suggestions that explain themselves
A reason with every pick
"Fills your RB1 slot." "41 points clear of the next tight end." Every suggestion tells you why, so you can agree, disagree, or take the next one.
Thinks a turn ahead
DraftAid watches the other teams' rosters and picking habits to judge who will still be there on your next turn, and who will not.
DraftAid Auto-Pick versus your platform's autopick
Miss your clock on ESPN, Yahoo or Sleeper and the platform drafts for you from its generic rankings. DraftAid Auto-Pick takes DraftAid's top recommendation for your roster instead.
| Platform autopick | DraftAid Auto-Pick | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it drafts from | Generic pre-draft rankings | Your league's scoring and your roster's open slots |
| Knows your roster | Only loosely | Every starter slot and what you still need |
| Watches the room | No | Weighs who is likely to be gone before your next turn |
| Explains the pick | No | Every suggestion comes with its reasons |
| You stay in control | Takes over when your clock runs out | Off until you turn it on; recommend-only by default |
