Next-Level Dynasty Rankings

Award-winning projections produce 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year outlooks for every player

You can find dynasty rankings anywhere. But, really – what are you looking at?!

Most likely, it’s the result of some dude moving younger players up and older players down. Just sticking each guy where it “feels” right.

Forget feelings. This isn’t therapy. This is fantasy football.

Don’t you want something a little more scientific? More accurate?

We’ve put hundreds of hours of machine learning into the formula that powers these next-level dynasty rankings.

The process starts with our season projections, which have won multiple accuracy awards over the years.

Then come the player's aging curves, specific to each position and player archetype.

They drive the algorithm that generates 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year fantasy outlooks for every player – all tailored to your league’s specific settings.

Get a better view of that player’s future

So if you’re interested in an aging player for just the coming season, you’ll know you can move him up the rankings.

In fact, you don’t need to move him. You can simply sort by any of those time spans right on the dynasty rankings page. Even by projections just for the coming season.

Doesn’t that sound like a better way to get your dynasty rankings?

Dynasty Trade Calculator

Find the perfect trade partner. Make that title-winning trade.

You probably enjoy making fantasy trades. Who doesn’t? Especially in a dynasty league.

But it’s not an easy process.

First, you have to go through the entire league’s rosters to see …

who has what
who needs what
and where you might be able to make a move

Then you have to build the package … and wonder how much you’re actually helping yourself.

It's exhausting. AND risky.

What if there was a tool that could do all this work for you?

Welcome to the two-pronged trade assistant

First, the Trade Partner Finder scans your entire league to find teams that have what you need … and need what you want to sell.

Then the Trade Analyzer evaluates both sides of your offer. You’ll know exactly how much value you’d be adding to your roster before you even hit send – both in the short and long term.

Dynasty League Analyzer

Gain insight into how your team REALLY stacks up

You usually have a general idea of your status in the league. But this handy tool crunches the real numbers behind the strengths and weaknesses of each team.

At a glance, you can sort by:

Overall Value
Positional Value & Rankings
Weight-Adjusted Age
1-year & 3-year Projections
3D Value and Projections

From there, you can decide whether you’re a player away or need to tear it all down.

And you’ll have real data to inform that decision.

Free Agent Finder

You can find waiver-wire gems. Even in dynasty.

You need to keep the long term in mind for your dynasty teams. But you’re also trying to win games every week.

(Unless you’re tanking for an earlier draft pick. But the primary goal of our dynasty strategy is to “Never Rebuild,” right?)

You want to find those lineup sleepers. And you want to get on the non-rostered players before their fantasy breakouts.

Free Agent Finder crawls all your leagues

You could spend HOURS every week searching for the best waiver-wire options.

Or let us do the work.

The same league sync that powers your Draft War Room drives the Free Agent Finder. It can tell who’s available or rostered in every one of your leagues.

So whether you’re looking for a flex fill-in, or you want to quickly search ALL your leagues for that backup RB who’s suddenly a starter. The Free Agent Finder is ready to help.

Grab those key waiver-wire gems before your competition even knows where to find them.

FAQs

How to approach a dynasty draft?

The best way to approach a dynasty draft is first to understand the "career arc" of every position. That might lead you to trade away most of your rookie draft picks to get proven starting players. Finally, even though it's a dynasty draft, you should be in "win now" mode through your draft. After all, you're playing for a championship every year.
