FAQ
Questions we get every draft season.
Straight answers — no marketing copy.
Is this just another rankings site?
No. Rankings are one input. War Room Score is the output — a proprietary metric that weighs each player against your specific roster, your league settings, and the round you’re in. It tells you who is dangerous at that price, not just who is good in a vacuum. FantasyPros gives you a list. War Room calls the pick.
Do I still need ESPN or Yahoo after buying this?
Yes — and War Room works with both. Your league stays exactly as-is on ESPN or Yahoo. War Room syncs live on draft night, reads your roster as it builds, and makes pick-by-pick recommendations inside your existing league. It’s a co-pilot running alongside your platform, not a replacement for it.
What if my draft has already happened?
War Room earns its value all season. Waiver Wire Analysis, Start/Sit Advisor, Trade Analyser, and Injury Tracker Pro are all active from week one through the playoffs. The players you draft are just the starting point — War Room’s in-season tools keep you ahead of moves your leaguemates haven’t made yet.
What is the difference between the Draft Kit and the War Room?
Draft Kit ($39 one-time) covers everything for draft prep — tiered rankings, Top 200 rankings, positional rankings, rookie rankings, Fantasy Breakouts, sleepers, busts, ADP tracker, punt builds guide, injury risk report, and more. War Room ($79 one-time) adds 15 live tools: live draft advisor, player value finder, trade analyser, buy low/sell high, category targets by round, matchup difficulty, player projections, weekly waiver wire, weekly start/sit, injury tracker pro, category standings, H2H matchup planner, roster optimiser, draft pulse analytics, and league setup — plus the full Draft Kit is included.
Does War Room use live data or static rankings?
Live data. ESPN and Yahoo APIs sync in real time on draft night and throughout the season. NBA stats from BallDontLie update continuously. Every ranking, score, and recommendation reflects current player status — no manual refreshes, no stale spreadsheets from last week.
When should I start using War Room?
Open it 10 minutes before your draft. It syncs with your league, tracks every pick in real time, reads your roster gaps, and calls the best available player on every pick. After the draft: check back weekly for waiver wire recommendations and start/sit decisions — it doesn’t go dormant after draft night.
What fantasy platforms does War Room support?
Rankings, projections, and analysis tools work for all platforms — Yahoo, ESPN, Sleeper, and Fantrax. Live draft sync and in-season roster tools require a connected Yahoo or ESPN league.
Is this a one-time payment or a subscription?
Both Draft Kit and War Room are one-time payments. No subscription, no renewal, no hidden fees. Draft Kit covers your full draft prep season. War Room runs through the entire 2026–27 NBA season for a single payment of $79.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Everything runs in your browser on any device — desktop, tablet, or mobile. Access opens instantly after payment with no download or install required.
When does the 2026 draft season start?
Most leagues draft between August and October 2026. All tools are live and updated through preseason. Draft Kit price increases to $49 on September 1, 2026 — lock in $39 now.
What free tools are available?
Depth charts, live injury tracker, schedule grid, draft cheat sheet, mock draft simulator, and the free Mock Draft Simulator are all available with no account required. Browse free tools at fanwarroom.com/players.html.
