Question 1

Understanding Draft Suggestions

Accepted Answer

The mock draft tool at first glance may be a bit daunting so this section should help clear up some of the drafting functionality and what certain things do.

Your screen will differ slightly depending if you are drafting on mobile or desktop PC, so I am going to include both screenshots so you can follow along easier.

Draft Suggestions on Desktop

Draft Suggestions on Mobile

A quick look at the Draft Suggestions screen shows you the most important information when drafting a player. This includes their stats from the past season, their projection for the upcoming season, and their latest news. We also include their draft Value, ADP, and trending ADP number.

Clicking the orange draft button will draft the player. Pressing the [X} icon to the right will allow you to ignore the player from the draft. (only available on desktop)

What is the Value number?

The Value number indicates how far above or below this player's ADP is compared to the current pick. The higher the number, the better the value. These numbers can be positive or negative, but when drafting properly the negative numbers should not be too large.

By default, the draft suggestions are sorted by value.

What is the Trending number?

The trending number indicates the player's ADP and compares it to the past week. A n

Question 2

Learn about our Team Rankings and Position Rankings

Accepted Answer

Team rankings and positional rankings are two key elements to help you understand where your team fits in against the rest of the league. This article is going to break down both sections separately and answer how it works and what these sections can be used for.

Team Ratings & Rankings

Team ratings and rankings have been around since the early days of the fantasy assistant, but just recently overwent an overhaul when we rolled out the new design.

Team Rankings

As you can see, each team is rated and ranked from 1st to last place. The team ratings are based on each team's combined player ratings, often referred to as their FSP rating. The number 1 ranked team sets the bar for the best team and all team ratings are compared against that team. In the above picture, that would be TEAM NEER.

The arrows on the left side indicate the change from last week.

Team ratings are broken down into Starting Lineup or Full Roster because each provides a different picture about your team. One highlights the strength of your starting lineup while the other emphasis the deepest team in the league. Both are important and a team who has a great starting lineup but a poor bench means they are just an injury awa

Question 3

Tips for My Roster

Accepted Answer

Understanding what information My Roster is telling you is a big key to success in terms of managing your fantasy teams. So what we are going to do is to break down everything you are seeing starting at the top and working our way to the bottom.

My Roster

Settings

The top of My Roster shows a link to league settings. This varies from sport to sport but it includes scoring settings such as PPR scoring or point per completion for NFL leagues and potential categories to select from for all other leagues.

NBA Settings

| Chances are we automatically applied your league settings when you first synced your league. If not, have a look here to modify your league.

Getting into the details

The order in which your players are listed should be exactly how your lineup is where your league is hosted.

Next, you'll notice 5 column headers: OS, SLOT, NAME, TRUST, and PROJ. Let's break each one down and explain what it all means.

O/S stands for OWN and START percentages. Next to each player on the left side will be a small bar indicating these percentages. You may also notice small up or down arrows next to each bar graph. This indicates where the OWN or START

Question 4

Finding Free Agents

Accepted Answer

The find free agents section shown below automatically showcases some of the top free agent picks that we could find. Clicking the top arrows will show you more potential free agents.

The number in green showcases their Player Ratings (FSP). The numbers included alongside the player is their projection for the day or week, depending on your settings.

Find Free Agents

Various Ways to Research Free Agents

There are also various ways to find free agents. In the above example for the NBA it shows Waivers, Projections, and MPG Leaders. You'll also notice that the players you own are included in these sections so you can compare where your player's fit in versus the free agent pool.

So what makes each section different and why are they useful?

In the Waivers section we combine their recent performance numbers with their trending ownership percentages. We call this their F+ rating, and players are sorted by this number by default. This will highlight players who have been on a hot streak recently, have been climbing in ownership, or a combination of both.

In the Projections section we are looking at their future performance expectations across various categories. This section is especially useful when determining which players have easy or hard matchups

Question 5

How to get the most out of Projections

Accepted Answer

Our projections are absolutely critical when it comes to setting lineups and making roster moves. This article will discuss two types of projections: Point based projections that you typically see in an NFL league and category based projections that you typically see in all other sports.

All projections will showcase a range in each box in the form of a simple line graph for your position or category. We will go more in depth as to what that means below and how to best utilize that information.

Projections in this section are either Weekly/Daily or Season Projections to see how your team would currently perform if you started these players from today until the end of the season.

| We highly suggest putting an emphasis on Weekly or Daily Projections rather than Season Projections. If you concentrate on the week-to-week then your season projections will take care of themselves.

Point Based Projections

NFL Projections

Above is what you might typically see in your NFL league. The projections are broken down by positions. You can see the total projected points, the projected record, and you can break it down by a specific matchup.

In this example, I have a pretty good projection of around 136 points and have a projected record of 7-4 across the entire league.

Let's focus on the quarterback projection. I am projecte

Question 6

How to use Trade Suggestions

Accepted Answer

The Trade Suggestions feature can be found inside the Fantasy Assistant.

How to generate trade suggestions

In order to generate trade suggestions, you must first select the players you are willing to add to the trading block. This is as simple as clicking on the + icon next to each player.
