Strategy Guides

Free guides that build your draft framework from the ground up. Read these before draft day.


Draft Kit & War Room Tools

Paid tools that put the strategy into action — rankings, targets, live draft guidance, and category analysis.

📄
Punt Builds Guide
FT%, FG%, and TO punt strategies with specific player targets for each path. Go into draft night with a team identity instead of drafting player-by-player and hoping it balances out.
Draft Kit
📊
Category Targets by Round
Round-by-round category guardrails so you lock in the right stats at the right time. Avoid the mistake of stacking one category early while going weeks without addressing blocks or FT%.
War Room
🔥
Sleeper Targets
Analyst-identified players being drafted significantly later than their real ceiling. Role changes, new starting gigs, and usage jumps that ADP hasn't caught up to yet.
Draft Kit
Bust Alerts
Players whose ADP has run well past their real upside. Updated through preseason so you know who to fade before your leaguemates draft them at a price they can't justify.
Draft Kit
🚀
3rd Year Breakout Targets
Players entering the breakout window with the usage, team situation, and development arc to leap in fantasy value. High-upside late-round targets backed by analyst reasoning.
Draft Kit
🏀
Rookie Rankings & Profiles
Tiered rookie rankings with detailed profiles covering role outlook, team situation, and dynasty vs. redraft value. Separated from hype — focused on real 9-cat contribution.
Draft Kit
🎯
War Room (Live Draft)
Live guidance that tracks your team build as picks come off the board. Flags category gaps, surfaces the best available player for your specific needs, and keeps your strategy coherent under time pressure.
War Room

What changes when you have a system

The difference between winging draft day and owning it.

Without a strategy system
  • Drafting by instinct and hoping the categories balance out
  • Getting to Round 8 without a blocks source and no clear fix
  • Overpaying for names ADP inflated by casual managers
  • No framework for late rounds — just taking whoever feels right
  • Reacting to what everyone else does instead of executing a plan
  • Finishing the draft unsure if your team is good or just looks good
With the Strategy Hub
  • A punt build decided before the draft starts — with player targets ready
  • Category guardrails telling you exactly what to prioritise each round
  • Sleeper targets that exploit where ADP is wrong this season
  • Bust alerts so you fade the hype before it costs you draft capital
  • A live Draft Advisor flagging your weakest category on every pick
  • Walking out of the draft knowing exactly why your team is built to win

Built differently from every other fantasy site

Most fantasy content gives you tips. This gives you a complete decision framework.

01
System-level, not tip-level
Tips tell you what to do once. A system tells you why — and how to adapt when the situation changes mid-draft. Every guide here builds on the others into a coherent approach for any draft scenario.
02
Analyst judgement, not generated content
Sleepers, busts, tier notes, and strategy guides are written by analysts who compete in 9-cat leagues. Real trade-off analysis, real opinions, not recycled takes or algorithmically produced lists.
03
9-cat specific — not format-agnostic
Most fantasy content is written to apply to every format. This is written exclusively for 9-category managers — every category target, punt build, and player note is scoped to how 9-cat scoring actually works.

Common questions

Does this work for Yahoo and ESPN leagues?
Yes. All strategy content is platform-agnostic and written for any standard 9-category league. The Player Value Finder and Trade Analyser specifically let you toggle between Yahoo and ESPN ADP when surfacing undervalued players.
What's the difference between the Draft Kit and the War Room?
Draft Kit ($39 one-time) gives you 14 draft-prep tools — tiered rankings, Top 200, positional rankings, ADP tracker, draft grade analyser, punt builds, punt targets, rookie rankings, breakouts, sleepers, busts, high risk/high return, injury risk report, and Team Intel. War Room ($79/season) adds the Live Draft Assistant, player projections, value finder, roster optimiser, trade analyser, category targets by round, buy low/sell high, weekly waiver wire, start/sit, injury tracker pro, H2H matchup planner, category standings, and matchup difficulty. War Room includes the full Draft Kit.
Do I need to be an experienced player to use this?
No. Tier Drafting 101 and Category Targets by Round are written to be accessible at any level. If you're brand new to 9-cat leagues, the Beginner Guide is a free starting point before you dive into the strategy content.
When are sleeper targets and bust alerts updated?
Throughout the preseason as depth charts, injuries, and team situations develop. Strategy guides like Tier Drafting 101 and Punt Builds are reviewed each season before draft day for any rule or format changes.
Is the Draft Kit included in War Room?
Yes. War Room includes everything in the Draft Kit — rankings, sleepers, busts, punt builds, and all other prep tools. You get the complete system in one package with no need to purchase the Draft Kit separately.
Can I upgrade from Draft Kit to War Room?
Yes. If you start with the Draft Kit and want the full live draft suite, you can upgrade to War Room at any point. Upgrade pricing support is coming soon via Stripe.
How long does War Room access last?
War Room covers the full 2025–26 NBA season. One seasonal payment, no renewal required. All preseason updates to sleepers, busts, and rookie profiles are included at no extra cost.
Can I see any content before buying?
Yes — the Rankings preview, Player Database, and Strategy Hub overview are all free to browse. All seven strategy guides (Beginner Guide, Punt Strategy, Tier Drafting, Draft Psychology, Mock Draft, Hype vs Reality, and Our Analyst) are completely free.

Stop leaving your draft
to gut feeling and good luck.

The Strategy Hub gives you a complete system — punt builds, category guardrails, sleeper targets, and a live advisor — so you walk into draft night with an actual plan and the tools to execute it.
