Your Fantasy
League.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: What if my draft has already happened?

War Room includes Trade Analyser and Roster Optimiser for season-long decisions. Weekly Waiver Wire, Weekly Start / Sit and Injury Tracker Pro are in-season features; their current preseason pages explain when coverage begins.

Q: What is the difference between the Draft Kit and the War Room?

Draft Kit covers draft preparation; War Room includes Draft Kit plus draft-night and in-season features. Eligible visitors can buy full 2026–27 access for US$19.90 once during the launch offer, with no renewal and a 7-day money-back guarantee from purchase. Mock Draft Simulator is free; Draft Cheat Sheet is free after email capture.

Q: Does War Room use live data or static rankings?

Live Draft Assistant can use connected ESPN or Yahoo league data on draft night. NBA stats and player news supply live context where available. Rankings and projections are distinct from live league data; weekly in-season coverage is labelled as it becomes available.

Q: When should I start using War Room?

Use League Setup before your draft, practise with the free Mock Draft Simulator, then open Live Draft Assistant for draft-night recommendations. In-season coverage such as Weekly Waiver Wire and Weekly Start / Sit begins during the season.

FAQ

Questions we get every draft season.

Straight answers — no marketing copy.

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.
