Fantasy Football Draft Wizard Reviews

by Andrew Kulasegram

I honestly, followed the fantasy pros for their fantastic analytics and data that they make available to the public. They have the best platform for learning more about fantasy football stats. However, the new rating comes about as I can firmly say that I’m disappointed by the lack of support for the black community during this time. Please keep in mind that not saying anything at all did say something. You can be both a welcomed distraction from all the troubles going on right now and still voice your support. I can’t stress enough how disappointed I am. The other fantasy podcasts I listened to have all said something so far. It’s just sad to see. I really expected more courage from you all to say something. I cry everyday lately and the only comfort I’ve had has been protesting and feeling like I’m making an impact. It hurts to see people with the platform and following that can impact so many people determined to tune out the noise. I don’t know if I’ll be following fantasy pros anymore. I’m holding out hope to hear something. Please prove me wrong and I’ll gladly return as a follower and hand back that 5 star rating.

Before my draft, I realized FantasyFootballDraftWizard ’s draft wizard doesn’t take into account, AT ALL, what your positional needs are. It basically just recommends the next highest projected player. This is especially true for defensive players, where it failed time after time in simulated drafts to recommend highly any defensive backs, despite my needing three to fill out the roster.

I decided it might still be worth using for recommendations during my actual draft, but it was clear the recommendations it gave could not have been based on my league’s scoring system. They were WAAAAAAY off! Speaking of which, despite importing my league from Yahoo, I still had to manually adjust the roster, and considering it wouldn’t let me adjust scoring and their projections were so far off, I can almost guarantee those settings were wrong, too.

Finally, after my draft, it thought I was a different team owner and mixed ALL the players up, so the draft ratings were TOTALLY USELESS!

I saw a lot of red flags in the reviews for FantasyFootballDraftWizard. I should have listened. An ABSOLUTE DISGRACE and WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

I’ve used FantasyFootballDraftWizard in the past, wasn’t perfect, but did the job. This year, it almost ruined my draft (luckily I had a paper cheat sheet). After loading our teams, selecting the proper draft order and setting all keepers, I was ready. Mock drafts went fine. During the live draft though, before my 3rd round pick, FantasyFootballDraftWizard crashed and when I restarted, the draft order was all out of whack and the keepers were gone. So, every recommendation that came up was someone’s keeper. I still used FantasyFootballDraftWizard to look players up, but I had to use my paper sheet to keep track. Absolute failure. I paid money for this but won’t ever trust FantasyFootballDraftWizard again and my subscription will be cancelled promptly. If you use FantasyFootballDraftWizard for a simple league, MAYBE you could trust it but a customized league like mine, you’re rolling the dice with FantasyFootballDraftWizard.

I loved FantasyFootballDraftWizard for the last couple of seasons. This year it has a ton of bugs and the updates aren’t helping. My biggest complaint is upon selecting a player with the draft assistant it used to ask drafted by me, or someone else. Really simple and quick. Now it asks you to select the specific team that took a player. And a list pops up every single pick. You’d think it would follow your draft order but I couldn’t even get that set correctly. I was scrambling at the start of a draft. This is a decent idea but if you don’t know every single guys team name in your draft it makes it difficult. Also after the draft it lists my team with someone else’s players no matter how many times I try to edit. It’s just not as helpful as it was. Also some of the team names aren’t even syncing properly. FRUSTRATING!!!

My league is on ESPN. FantasyFootballDraftWizard doesn’t support syncing your draft in real time for ESPN leagues, so you have to manually draft on FantasyFootballDraftWizard alongside your league. No problem. That is, until I made a mistake in the third round and clicked on the wrong player (Keenan Allen instead of Josh Allen). Would you believe that there is no way to undo a pick while you’re manually drafting in FantasyFootballDraftWizard to follow along with your live draft?????!!!! I had to start all over and catch up. So I wasn’t able to really utilize FantasyFootballDraftWizard until the later rounds. I still came out pretty well, but it could’ve been better had a simple “undo” function been in FantasyFootballDraftWizard …like, how is that not a thing?

If your league is using custom scoring and the draft order has been pre-determined, FantasyFootballDraftWizard does not allow for changing your position in the mock drafts using your custom scoring. You are locked into the position showing in the league app. Ex. Yahoo shows me at position 1. I already know I am drafting 10th. The mock draft simulator will only let my draft position be 1.... standard scoring mock simulator (non, 1/2 PPR, 1 PPR) you are able to change your drafting position, but in a 2 PPR league where rushing TD and Rec TD are both worth 6 points, doesn’t do much good for me

This software works well On other sites but 3 of my leagues are on ESPN and this site crashes a ton on ESPN it quit on me in round 4 I rebooted everything in a 60 second per pick draft it didn’t get going again till 6 crashed again in 9 so you get my frustration I didn’t write anything out because I use FantasyFootballDraftWizard so I screwed myself. I wrote to them and asked for a refund because I will just manual it for my next two drafts tonight .. I know this is a busy week 9/3 but it can’t crash in the middle of a draft like this I auto picked a TE in my fourth slot that’s a no no for me lol

Not sure what happened to FantasyFootballDraftWizard, used to be fairly good for mock drafts and to help aid in the drafting process, but they must have changed their algorithm or something because half the mock drafts i do, have some insane picks. For instance, who is taking 3 other quarterbacks in the first 2 rounds before mahomes……not even a 2 qb or super flex league, and why isnt mahomes first off the board? Along with some drafts taking kelce first overall and waller within the top 10?!? What is going on…..something needs fo be fixed on your guys end for the realism of mock drafts.

i used FantasyFootballDraftWizard for two years. overall very helpful and easy to use. last year i had no issues linking up with my league. this year however was FIVE picks behind and it wouldn’t load to the current pick which was very frustrating. i drafted half of my team on my own which wasn’t what i paid for. i did use the player rankings which helped but it would’ve been nice to have the draft assistant to help make some decisions like how it worked last year. i tried refreshing and trouble shooting as well

by Makemorebirdies

1. Need more custom scoring options (4pt vs 6pt passing TD is the big one)
2. Going from All to RB or flex, a different RB will populate as the best pick. When clicking ‘submit another player’ another player will overtake the top recommended player, this makes no sense to me as my understanding for that is to add players at the bottom. Maybe just some clarity on what I’m looking at.
3. It would be nice to see other analytics when you click on the player profile (schedule by game, SOS, consistency rating (% of time they meet or beat their projection), ADOT)

The cheat sheet customization tool and in draft applicability is great. I do see a common trend amongst these fantasy tool apps/sites....... you require a subscription at all times to utilize the cheat sheet tool.

During the off-season, I think it would be beneficial to remove subscription permissions for editing cheat sheets. This would provide those who are looking for a fantasy app to use prior to the offseason to get a taste of FantasyFootballDraftWizard . I know that you provide subscription incentives for deposits into fanduel, etc.... but I think it would be beneficial for you guys to open FantasyFootballDraftWizard up for a limited duration of time during the off-season.

Creating cheat sheets is fun. It is not fun paying for a service during the off-season. I think the subscription requirement for editing cheat sheets should be delayed until a month or two prior to pre-season. The in season tools are the real value here. If you introduce consumers to the concept by providing full accessibility, you will gain more subscribers during the actual season.

I am a competitive fantasy player during the season. During the off-season, I do not pay for subscriptions. I cancel when the season ends. This is a common trend. Allow users to experience FantasyFootballDraftWizard when the season is not playing out. I think the month before pre-season is the best time to charge. That is when people really crack down on cheat sheets.

I want to start off by saying that I love everything FantasyFootballDraftWizard has to offer. The single person mock drafts are great and save me so much time. He only issue I have is with the league settings. I have imported my league successfully but i constantly need to edit the draft order and keepers. the system will keep the same team and keepers but will shuffle them around seemingly at random. For example i should have the 5th pick and Antonio Brown as my keeper but every so often it will change the pick number and give me someone else’s keeper. other than this very manageable problem I absolutely love FantasyFootballDraftWizard and would recommend it to anyone who is not in my league!

Somehow I had never heard of this until recently. It’s such a great idea to run mock drafts and FantasyFootballDraftWizard runs them absolutely smooth/provides helpful feedback for your picks. You can import your actual league (a huge selection like Yahoo, ESPN, etc.) and can even practice drafts with other real people! All of the major players have up-to-date news, insight, and I can’t stress how helpful it is being able to practice with this great platform!

Love drafting with the draft wizard tool, simulator is so much more accurate then going into some mock with people taking Matt Ryan in the 2nd round cause they’re falcon fans or something. Really nice way to draft quick, I do a couple a week now for the rest of the offseason to get a good feel of adp’s and draft trends based on all the news and changing rosters to come. Also love that you now get you grade and can save your drafts to see how your personal
Trends and feeling on players change as the offseason progresses. Thanks Guys keep up the great work!

I downloaded this at my draft because I wasn’t prepared. By the time the draft was over I had an A+ from yahoo. I was #1 seed for the whole season, and I won the league! (Well the last couple of games still need to be played ) but he can’t can’t catch me in points. I will never draft with out this ever again! Be warned you still need to make good trades and waiver wire pick ups, but this will get you on the right track!! Now to be fair I won a different league last year and did not use this so take it for what it’s worth. But I like this !

by &@scooter

Great job with the new look and feel to FantasyFootballDraftWizard . I’ve been using it for a couple of years and love the ability to mock quick and try out different strategies.

One bug I found. When importing a league with keepers, I can’t randomize the draft order. I can only do it manually. Maybe it’s user error or maybe it’s a easy fix?

Love FantasyFootballDraftWizard !!!

I had an issue with the promotion through Yahoo Daily Fantasy and my deposit confirmation. I was given full access to the promotional upgrade from the second my support ticket was processed while they looked into my claim. Dan Martin and the FantasyPros customer support team did a great job and kept in contact with me the entire process. Long story short, they were able to verify my deposit. But the best part was that I was able to get into all the goodies while they figured it out on their end! Very professional and courteous. It’s nice to be given the benefit of the doubt for once. Not many company’s would do that.

FantasyFootballDraftWizard is awesome! I was kinda worried about it at first because yahoo or ESPN will recommend the player you should take with your next pick. Not FantasyFootballDraftWizard it goes into much further detail and I like it because not only does it suggest the player you take but will let you know about same bye weeks. After linking this to my yahoo fantasy draft I ended up with the no 1 overall starters, bench and overall team. You obviously don’t have to take who it tells you to take but I highly recommend this for your league. Ive used it in both leagues and projected to win the league and each week by double digits. Must have app for fantasy players.

This is my first year trying out Fantasy Football, I’ve been a fan for most of my life but never got on the Fantasy wagon. Doing the mock drafts and listening to the podcast for a week has taught me a lot in a short amount of time. Today I was able to draft my first team with confidence and even noticed some bad draft strategies from the other owners. Thanks FantasyPros, keep up the great work!

by Clefan34

Fantasy pros!

I’m a new user I just downloaded yesterday to be exact and I love it!! I’ve used the mock draft simulation three times already to get in shape for the new season that approaches. I also just upgraded to MVP! And I couldn’t be happier. I love the advice and the stats from the podcast as well I listen all day at work!! Keep up the good work!!!

FantasyFootballDraftWizard didn’t work yesterday and failed me again this evening. I got in touch with customer service today about a failure with draft assistant w sync that occurred yesterday and then the manual draft assistant failed tonight. After attempting to enter the 10th of the 1st round, FantasyFootballDraftWizard repeatedly blacked out and closed. So now, two drafts were negatively impacted.
I’ve liked and successfully used the fantasy pro apps in past, but the experience this season was disappointing, harmful, and, frankly, embarrassing because I didn’t have a back up. Please make fix the issues for other users and help make it right for me.

My app would crash when I tried to look up a player being drafted that was not on my short list of recommendations.
I would type in a player (Brees) and FantasyFootballDraftWizard would just crash.
I then had to select it again and it would crash. Also a problem is the list is only a handful of players. So if your looking for others it makes it difficult.
Think you have a bug to fix, which sucked because I thought FantasyFootballDraftWizard was going to work for my draft.

by Edgesabre29

FantasyFootballDraftWizard is fine for mock drafts. I had inquired to see if there was an option to manually set a certain player in a roster spot, the #1 roster spot to be exact, as that player has already been taken in our offline draft. I sent a Tweet to the “help desk” to help answer my question, but after 2 attempts, they have not. I would recommend that feature be added to the mock draft portion of FantasyFootballDraftWizard - the ability to go ahead & set a player in a spot & remove that player from the board

FantasyFootballDraftWizard does a great job of pulling in expert consensus on player rankings and creating a close to realistic draft experience through the draft simulation. Being able to mock a snake draft from every pick position against the computer that has industry expert rankings is immensely insightful for seeing what type of teams I can build once the real drafts start. What Ive found really impressive though is the auction draft simulator. It allows me to test out different strategies of favoring auction dollars at a single position as well as going with a more balanced approach and I end up seeing what I can get as a team for each strategy. FantasyFootballDraftWizard does offer live mock draft vs real users as well, but for me the best feature is the simulation software. It saves so much time as it can be very quick to do (about 15mins) and I get to work through multiple draft strategies. I wish I had FantasyFootballDraftWizard several years ago.
