Instead of relying on printed rankings, spreadsheets, and sticker boards, we bring everything into one connected experience. Every manager gets a personalized War Room to prepare and draft their way and our live Draft Room elevates your in-person draft experience. THE WAR ROOM Tired of having to draft from your platform-specific ADP list year after year? The same one that all your league mates are also drafting from? Yeah, we are too! With The War Room, its up to you to decide what you bring to the table on Draft Day. Choose from many industry-leading ADP lists. Don't see your preferred ADP list within our dropdown? No problem. Upload a CSV of your rankings from that source you refuse to share with your league-mates. This is when the fun begins. Customize those rankings to make them your own with a drag-and-drop feature. Tag your Sleepers, Breakouts, Busts, and My Guys. Go even further and add position-specific tier breaks to elevate your draft strategy. And don't forget those player notes you've been collecting all offseason. Make The War Room your own and watch everything you do within it carry over seamlessly to The Draft Room for a Draft Day experience you haven't seen yet. THE DRAFT ROOM The Draft Room was carefully constructed by bringing together some of the best features we identified in draft rooms used over the years, while staying away from those features that just never made sense. The result? A Draft Day experience you didn't know you were missing. As previously mentioned, The War Room seamlessly syncs to your league's draft room that is set up by your commish. Draft from your personalized list or pivot last second to another ADP list of your choice... its all up to you - at any moment within the draft. Your player tags and notes are right there with you, no matter what direction you take. From in-draft commish settings, to draft pick trades and league chat.. we've got you covered. We've also got auto-draft that respects your roster. When the timer runs out, the engine consults the team's queue first, then the owner's personalized rankings, then a consensus ADP fallback. In-person draft parties? We prefer those too. With our Project to TV feature, you get a live, draft board ONLY display right on the big screen. Have all league-mates draft individually and watch their picks appear in real time, or choose Commissioner Only mode for that classic live draft feel. Welcome to the new era of fantasy football Draft Day. This is Draft Day. Rebuilt.
