New Fantasy Football Draft Assistant Tool Launches for 2026
A new Fantasy Football Draft Assistant tool has been introduced to assist users in preparing for the 2026 NFL season. This tool allows users to scout players, assess draft rankings, and compare season point projections.
The Draft Assistant aggregates player evaluations, overall rankings, and scoring projections from Jake Ciely and The Athletic’s fantasy team. Users can enter up to five players to compare their potential selections. The rankings and projections will be updated throughout the NFL preseason leading up to the regular season start on September 9.
While the tool provides insights into player rankings, it may not always align with projected point totals, as it considers various factors such as playing situations and risk. Additionally, notable injuries will be marked for affected players, although updates may not be immediate. Users should note that during live drafts, the tool does not track which players are already on their roster, which may lead to suggestions for filled positions.
