Having all of RotoBaller's fantasy football tools at your disposal during your real fantasy football drafts will take your game to the next level. This is where the fantasy football draft assistant comes into play, which comes part of our Presesason Fantasy Football Draft Kit, or any full-season NFL Premium Pass.
Our fantasy football draft assistant tool is part of the Team Sync platform, which is customizable to ensure the tools and advice match your platform's scoring system and roster requirements. While our mock draft simulator will help you make decisions against the computer in an automated draft, the fantasy football draft assistant is meant as a companion for the real deal.
You'll still be in control of your picks, but the advanced tools built into the fantasy football draft helper will provide recommendations and resources to help guide each pick you make. Let's dive into more specifics about the fantasy football draft assistant and helper tool and see it in action below.
Fantasy Football Draft Assistant and Helper Overview
The fantasy football draft assistant is your draft helper during your live drafts. After you sync your teams to link your league, our draft assistant automatically connects to your platform's system and picks come in as they happen!
Our draft assistant updates everything in real-time including players already taken, our expert draft pick recommendations, team need suggestions, custom rankings, projections and cheat sheets and more. Many fantasy gamers and users have likely used these kinds of tools for mock draft simulators, but they are especially useful as a live assistant during your real league draft.

After selecting "Team Sync" in the premium tools tab, you'll be taken to the browser to choose between "your league" and "sync new league".
From there, you'll be able to choose between ESPN, Yahoo, CBS, NFL.com, Fantrax, Fleaflicker, Sleeper, MFL, Real Time Fantasy Sports or FFPC leagues for use with our draft assistant. After selecting your platform, it's as simple as entering your email and selecting which league you're wanting to sync to the helper.

And finally, you'll be given intuitive instructions on how to sync the assistant with your real fantasy football draft.
Team Sync's Fantasy Football Draft Helper In Action
From start to finish, the "experts picks" tab will recommend the top options for each of your selections based on team needs and overall value. While you might have a great strategy and idea of which players to pick in the early rounds, the assistant will ensure you stay on the right track in the middle-to-late parts of the draft.
Each recommendation is supported by a "need score" or "overall score" and a ANP% (available next pick). These features give you a true understanding of why the assistant is recommending particular players.
If you want more of a broad view of the available players based on the helper's recommendations, the cheat sheet (as shown below) will provide the list of players in order and you can sort by position. It's worth noting you can import your own cheat sheet and switch to those rankings if you chose to.
Knowing which players were selected is another aspect the draft assistant will help you with -- providing an overall draft board with each position displayed in a different color. This helps fantasy mangers stay informed about which positions are beginning to fly off the board. This is especially useful for quicks runs on tight ends and quarterbacks.
After the draft is all said and done, it's fun to know which teams are "favored" to win the championship and which teams will likely need to put in some work via trade or free agency to compete with the top contenders. Here's where the draft assistant's power rankings and projections breakdown comes into play.
Not only will the draft helper give managers an idea of how their team stacks up, but it will provide them with statical breakdowns for each category related to fantasy points.
