Fantasy Football Draft Assistant Tool Launches for 2026

The Fantasy Football Draft Assistant has been introduced to assist users in preparing for the 2026 draft. This tool allows users to scout players, assess draft rankings, and compare season point projections.

The Draft Assistant aggregates player evaluations, rankings, and scoring projections from Jake Ciely and The Athletic’s fantasy team, enabling users to make informed decisions on draft day. Users can enter up to five players to compare their stats and projections.

All player information will be regularly updated throughout the NFL preseason leading up to the regular season start on September 9. Rankings may vary based on factors such as playing situation and risk, and notable injuries will be indicated for affected players, although updates may not be immediate. Users should note that the tool does not track which players are already on their roster during live drafts.
