Fantasy Football Draft Guide Overview

The fantasy football draft guide comes with a wide array of preseason tools, including the:

  • Draft Kit
  • Team Sync Tools
  • Live chat with expert analysts
  • Rookie rankings
  • ADP sleepers
  • Best ball targets
  • Dynasty League buys and sells
  • Expert rankings and projections from some of the sharpest minds in the business.

The guide has something for everyone. Whether you're a one-league fantasy manager or play in dozens of redraft, best ball, and dynasty setups -- you'll have all the information and resources you need in one place.

NFL-Preseason-Premium-Tools

Some fantasy gamers simply want access to cheat sheets and aren't interested in diving into all the tools, and the guide provides that option in the form of printable sets of rankings for PPR, half-PPR, and standard rankings sorted by position or overall pecking order.

Premium Tools - Fantasy Football Draft Guide

Premium Draft Rankings

Scott Engel's fantasy football rankings are another highlight of our fantasy football draft guide. Engel is a member of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association's Hall of Fame and a 20-plus-year veteran of the fantasy industry.

Team Sync - Live Draft Assistant Software

As part of the fantasy football draft guide, you get the entire suite of Team Sync tools including the brand new Live Draft Assistant. The features included in the Live Draft Assistant include expert recommendations, position evaluators, team need suggestions, cheat sheets, and more.

Nick Mariano's Projections

Nick Mariano's projections are one of the staples of the draft guide. Visualizing stat lines is a great way to set expectations for a player before pressing the "draft" button. A set of rankings from one of the top fantasy football analysts is helpful, but specific projections that display how the rankings are determined gives fantasy gamers a realistic outcome for every individual player. 300 players are included in this set of projections, so all players with fantasy relevance in most leagues are covered. These will be updated all the way up to the start of the 2023 NFL campaign.

Discord VIP Chat Rooms

Access to RotoBaller's Discord can be accessed in the preseason tools section of the draft guide. Premium users will have the ability to chat with expert analysts in the preseason, which can be helpful for general questions about the outlooks of certain players and tips for all varieties of leagues and topics.

ADP Draft Sleepers Tool

This helpful resource lets users compare one player's ADP with similar players at the position. For example, you can select a running back and compare their ADP with another running back's ADP that has similar stat projections to uncover sleepers later in drafts.

Premium Articles 

Most of the other widgets in the draft guide will steer fantasy gamers towards the most insightful articles for 2023 fantasy draft preparation. Again, some managers want a deep dive into all the tips and tricks that go into each fantasy football draft, while others are fine with skimming the cheat sheets and premium articles to get pick up a few useful bits of information before draft day. Either way, the guide has you covered!

 

Premium Articles - Fantasy Football Draft Kit

The fantasy football draft kit has premium rankings, player outlooks, rookie profiles, recent news, draft tools, sleepers, rankings, dynasty content, draft strategy, and more -- all in one centralized location. Once again, there's at least a couple of key resources to aid the most casual of fantasy managers to the most competitive high-stakes players.

2023-Fantasy-Football Draft-Kit

2023 Fantasy Football Draft Kit

The premium ranking section houses the standard, PPR, half-PPR, dynasty, rookie, waiver wire, best ball, superflex, TE premium, and IDP ranking. It can be difficult to find all these sets of rankings in one place, but the draft kit makes it easy.

Found in the player outlooks section are write-ups of every fantasy-relevant quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end -- including the majority of rookies who will see the field in 2023. Reading outlooks is always helpful for ensuring you have the full picture of how a player performed last season and which factors could be decreasing or increasing their values heading into the next season.

Rookie Profiles

Rookie profiles are especially helpful for fantasy managers who aren't big followers of college football. There are always a handful of rookies who vastly outperform their redraft ADPs.

Many fantasy managers opt to stay away from the risk of a first-year player or aren't familiar with some of the key rookie contributors. Taking a moment to dive into the profiles of a few rookie targets will give you an edge over league mates who avoid first-year players altogether.

It's never a bad idea to glance at the recent news section. RotoBaller's around-the-clock NFL News Desk feeds directly to this tab, so users won't miss even the most minor news that could affect a player's fantasy outlook for better or worse.

The last eight tabs provide quick access to the most important articles for guiding fantasy managers ahead of their preseason drafts.

Using the Draft Guide To Craft Your Draft-Day Strategy

Premium users playing in leagues of all shapes, sizes, and formats can use the draft guide to fuel your draft strategy.

The player projections and rankings are not ADP-dependent, so finding the discrepancies in projected output for one player who is usually drafted way ahead of another player with similar projections is one way to get an edge in fantasy drafts. Name value or brand equity can push players up who aren't projected to pay off at ADP up, and vice versa.

Rankings and projections can also help fantasy gamers identify targets for hero-RB, zero-RB, robust-RB, or any other positional-focused strategies.

Making a list of overvalued players and fantasy assets derived from our draft guide will also play a part in developing your draft strategy.
