What Fantasy Football Help Do You Need?
I’m the co-founder of Draft Sharks.
A site that’s been dishing out fantasy football help since 1999. It’s been a full-time gig for me since Year 1.
And now, in our 26th season, we’re a small handful of award-winning (and crazy–passionate) full-time fantasy football analysts …
… Plus some full-time super-talented tech dudes (the guys who build our arsenal of fantasy tools).
Fantasy Football Help for 2024
Now that you’ve gotten a taste of who we are, here’s how we can help you dominate your competition for 2024:
1. Use the Draft Sharks Live Draft Sync
Updates Your Draft Board in Real-Time
If we could suggest one piece of fantasy football help, this would be it: The Draft Sharks live-draft sync connects directly to your league’s draft and tracks every pick – in real-time.
As players get drafted, your board removes them from your rankings and adjusts strategy … in real-time.
Works on Many Platforms
The sync feature integrates seamlessly with major platforms such as Yahoo, ESPN, Sleeper, CBS, NFL.com, Fantrax, Underdog Fantasy and more, keeping you informed and ready to make the best pick at every turn.
Customized Player Suggestions
Most importantly, this live-draft sync re-ranks your player rankings after every selection. There’s a Value-Based Draft algorithm built into the tool that does all the work for you.
That algorithm powers your Draft War Room.
2. Draft War Room: Dynamic Draft Tool
Supercharged Cheat Sheet
The DWR automatically adjusts to your scoring and roster settings. Then it tracks 17 crucial indicators, including:
- positional scarcity
- injury risk
- ADP
- breakout likelihood
- and opponent needs
… all in real time.
It’s a dynamic draft tool that constantly adapts to your league’s specifics. It offers personalized player recommendations, updates based on draft flow, and includes unique metrics such as 3D projections and positional value.
Adapts to Your Different League Formats
Whether you’re drafting in a dynasty, auction, best ball, or superflex league, the DWR has you covered. It adjusts rankings and strategy based on the specific demands of each format. That includes dynasty, auction, superflex, best ball – even rookie drafts.

3. Mock Draft Trainer
Practice Your Draft Strategy In Minutes
The Mock Draft Trainer allows you to simulate drafts tailored to your league’s settings, offering a realistic draft experience – a great place to train and learn.
Because let’s face it: Every draft comes with its surprises. This tool helps you prepare for all those scenario.
Unlike traditional mock drafts, this trainer features an algorithm that simulates realistic drafting behavior, ensuring you’re prepared for every twist.
4. Get Expert Fantasy Football Help
Award-Winning Player Rankings
It started in our first season of 1999. We took down the Pro Forecast magazine “Experts Poll.” Fast forward to 2024 — and we’ve won more than our share of accuracy awards over 2+ decades.
That includes the Fantasy Pros 3-Year Rolling Accuracy Title in 2023 (see the image below). Our very own Jared Smola took the crown last year.
But not just that award -- look at the numerous Accuracy Awards below.
No other site has been as consistent as Draft Sharks in its preseason player rankings ...
Marquee Fantasy Football Articles
Draft Sharks provides a range of marquee articles in the preseason: Our 2024 Breakout Player, 2024 Comeback Player, and 2024 Bust Player articles are already on the site. These articles are based on extensive analysis, helping you identify key players to target or avoid.
5. Fantasy Football Draft Guides
Round-By-Round Draft Advice
We call these draft guides our “Perfect Draft" series. This series offers a comprehensive guide to drafting the “perfect team,” tailored to different league formats.
The articles provide position-by-position advice, so you build a balanced team that will compete for a championship.
Format-Specific Strategies
Whether you’re in an 8-, 10-, 12-, or 14-team league we have an article to help you nail the “perfect” draft for your league. These articles are our most-read content every summer. You’ll find a lot of good strategy in them.
6. Free Agent Finder Using League Sync
Tailored Waiver Advice
The Free Agent Finder uses live-sync data from your league to recommend the best available players on the waiver wire.
Of course, it accounts for your league’s scoring rules and setup. But it also considers your roster’s strengths, weaknesses, and upcoming matchups to prioritize the most impactful free agents specifically for your team.
Real-Time Updates
Whenever your waiver wire period starts, the Free Agent Finder will be ready. That’s because the tool updates all un-rostered players automatically and in real-time.
So you never have to hunt and scour your league’s “available free agents.” The tool has done it for you – and it recommends the best player for your team.
7. Trade Navigator Using League Sync
Finds You The Best Trade Partner
Yes, the Draft Sharks trade tool helps you identify potential trade partners by analyzing the rosters of all teams in your league. It finds teams with weaknesses where you have depth and vice versa, suggesting mutually beneficial trades.
This streamlined approach saves you time and enhances your trade strategy by targeting teams most likely to be interested in your offers.
In-Depth Trade Evaluation
The Draft Sharks Trade tool also helps you evaluate potential trades by analyzing the value of players involved. Again, it syncs with your league to give you customized advice based on your roster, scoring settings, and league format.
The tool calculates projected points and rest-of-season value for each player, helping you identify whether a trade will strengthen your team. Additionally, it considers factors such as:
- bye weeks
- playoff schedules
- and positional needs
… delivering a comprehensive resource to help you make informed trade decisions.
How Will the Trade Navigator Help You?
8. In-Season Rest of Way Player Rankings
From Today Until the End of the Season
Unlike preseason rankings, which focus on full-season projections, our “in-season rest of way rankings” are exactly that: Rankings that predict a player’s value for the rest of the season.
We update these rankings constantly to reflect the latest developments in player performance, injuries, and team situations.
You’ll get to see how players are expected to perform for the remainder of the season, helping you make informed decisions on trades and waiver wire pickups.
Rankings Customized to Your League Scoring
The rankings are tailored to your league’s specific scoring settings and format. They also consider factors such as:
- upcoming matchups
- bye weeks
- and fantasy playoff schedules.
So you’re always one step ahead in planning for both the short and long term.
By using the "In-Season Rest of Way Rankings," you can stay competitive and make smarter decisions as the fantasy season progresses.
9. Year-Round Dynasty Rankings
Long-Term Focus
These Dynasty rankings go beyond just current-season projections, focusing on a player’s:
- future potential
- age
- career trajectory
- and situational stability
We update these rankings weekly to reflect changes in player performance, injuries, and NFL team dynamics.
We want you to have the most current information to manage your Dynasty roster throughout the year.
Developmental (Devy) Rankings
Devy rankings give you a detailed analysis of college football players who are not yet in the NFL but are likely to be future stars.
These rankings evaluate players based on their college performance, NFL potential, and positional value. So if you play in a devy league, you’ll be ready to make insightful decisions when drafting or trading future talent.
And even if you don’t play devy, you’ll get a jump on the competition in learning about upcoming rookie classes.
The rankings are regularly updated to reflect changes in player performance, injuries, and outlooks.
Get the Fantasy Football Help You Need
Maybe you don’t need all the things listed above.
Maybe you’re not a dynasty player and aren’t even sure what “superflex” means.
But if you’re still reading, then we can definitely help you in some way. And there’s never been a better time to try us out!
