Our tool allows you to feel like you are taking our draft experts into the draft room with you. Simply plug in the options you are considering with your next pick and see who our experts recommend based on their consensus rankings.
Whether it is a redraft, dynasty, or rookie draft you are heading into, our "Who Should I Draft” tool has the answers you need. Our experts are constantly updating their rankings to reflect the latest news and injuries coming out of the NFL, meaning you will have the most up-to-date information at your fingertips on draft day.
How To Use PFSN’s "Who Should I Draft" Fantasy Tool
The tool could not be simpler to use during your draft. Type in the names of any players you are considering with your next pick, and our system will quickly tell you which is the top option based on our rankings. The tool’s interface is easy to use and allows you to quickly select the right players to ensure you are not under any time pressure to make your selection.
Additionally, if you want to add different variations, our tool makes it simple for you to switch between the results and the input screen. Therefore, if you are planning ahead only to see three of your options picked ahead of you, you can quickly change out those players for three more and get back to the results screen without breaking a sweat.
How Many Players Can I Compare?
Our “Who Should I Draft” tool allows you to compare anything from 2-6 players in a single comparison. However, the speed you can get between the input and the result screen means it is easy to compare 10+ players by simply inputting six and then switching back to replace the lowest options with different players. You can then do this as many times as you want to build a comprehensive picture of every option available to you.
Why You Should Trust PFSN’s Fantasy Rankings
PFSN’s rankings that feed our tool are formed from a consensus of our two experts, Kyle Soppe and Jason Katz. Combined, our experts have over 20 years of fantasy experience, and their rankings are curated by our Chief Product Officer Ben Rolfe, who has a further 10+ years of experience providing fantasy analysis.
FAQ
What does standard scoring mean?
When people refer to a league as "standard" scoring, that has historically meant non-PPR scoring, where you do not get extra points for each reception your player has, but we have seen things starting to shift in recent years, with ESPN moving to PPR scoring as its default scoring setting and Yahoo using half-PPR. However, you will still see people sometimes refer to non-PPR as "standard" scoring. Therefore, if someone tells you the league scoring system is "standard," it is worth clarifying whether they mean non-PPR or the site's "standard" scoring system.
What does PPR mean?
The term PPR in fantasy football stands for Points Per Reception.
This means that players get a point for every reception and any points they earn for receiving yards or touchdowns. Therefore, using the widely accepted scoring system for yards and touchdowns, if a player has a 12-yard reception for a touchdown, he will get six points for the touchdown, 1.2 points for the receiving yards, and a further point for the reception, giving him a total of 8.2 points on that play. In contrast, that play would be worth 7.2 points in non-PPR scoring.
The "PPR" element of the scoring can be adjusted. Yahoo uses half-PPR as their standard, where a player gets 0.5 points per reception. In the above scenario, that player would get 7.7 points rather than 8.2 in the full PPR scoring.
There are a lot of nuanced PPR scoring systems used in custom leagues, so be sure to check out your individual league's scoring system before entering your draft.
