Building a modern fantasy draft app at http://DraftKick.com. Some still remember http://LastPlayerPicked.com.
I'm not ashamed to brag—this is so much better than what anyone else is doing. - DraftKick runs inside Yahoo/ESPN draft rooms. Syncs automatically. - The dashboard's bid amount fades green to red for under/overbidding. - Shows all teams' budgets and bid history on hover.


Added a couple more projection sources to the Whiffs historical analysis: Razzball/Steamer and Davenport. Got a copy of a source I should add? Email or DM me.

Evaluating projections is usually a big offseason task for someone. With Whiffs, on Sep 29 I should be able to click once and have the full 2025 analysis published in minutes.

I've been carefully reimplementing DraftKick's printable cheatsheet. This was a hasty add-on a couple of years ago. I've tried to polish lots of stuff and add a much better explanation of how to use it.

The draft room standings are mostly good for showing who currently has the most QB. It was low-hanging fruit for building something better in DraftKick.

DraftKick improvement: Bench slots are auto-added if drafted players are ineligible for starting positions.

Taj Bradley gives up 5 ER and is still a positive contributor. If you're wondering what the optimal strategy is for Yahoo points leagues...

AI transformed my workflow this season. I used to match names in Excel, manually cleaning data for non-exact matches. This year, I showed the model my CSV and the JSON from the Sleeper or ESPN API and told it to build a throwaway Python script to match players.

As I expand draft sync on DraftKick (✅ Yahoo ✅ ESPN), this is my biggest concern. There's so much that can go wrong trying to support so many platforms and league configurations. And the stories of failure are the ones that get posted.
