THE Best Season-Long Fantasy Football Draft Tool Available
FantasyPros.com’s Cheat Sheet Wizard is turning season-long drafting on its head in its debut season. If you’ve ever used a draft assistant tool in a season long league you’ve probably been disappointed. They are too clunky, often excel-based, extremely limited in options, and don’t automatically update as players are drafted in your league. Cheat Sheet Wizard fixes all of that. You get to bring your own Cheat Sheets, or those Cheat Sheets of your favorite experts, into your draft with you, no matter what site you are drafting on. As players are drafted your cheat sheets update in real time – removing drafted players and suggesting players for your upcoming picks. This thing also revolutionizes mock drafting with super-fast “Simulated Drafts.” Read on to see what else it does, and know that this is highly recommended by the RotoGrinders Staff.

Cheat Sheet Editor
The Cheat Sheet Editor puts a new twist on a traditional draft tool. Most players lug pages of information into their live drafts with chicken-scratch notes scribbled down to supposedly help you better remember all of your sleepers and top players. Some guys are well organized but that can take hours to do. The Cheat Sheet Editor starts you out with a composite ranking of the NFL players at every position based on expert analysis from a group of well-regarded fantasy football gurus. From here, you can edit your own cheat sheet to fit your personal opinions. You can:
- Target Players: Select ‘Target’ next to a player’s name and that player will be highlighted for you during mock drafts and on your cheat sheet permanently so you can easily see which players are your favorites.
- Adjust Player Rankings: You can easily edit the rankings for each position and everytime you change a positional ranking, the overall cheat sheet draft board you have is automatically updated as well.
- Add Player Notes: You can view the notes from some of their gurus(such as Scott Pianowski from Yahoo! and more) on certain players who they love or hate. You can also add in your own notes to give you helpful reminders of why you might want to take or pass on a given player. All of these notes are easily visible on your cheat sheet to keep your draft more organized.
- Create Player Tiers: A great way to organize players by a given round in the draft or similar value, you can easily organize a group of players into a ‘tier’ and view your tiers from your cheat sheet!
- Download: You can download your cheat sheet and print it out by position or overall for your draft if you prefer to have the information readily available in hand.
- Create Multiple Cheat Sheets: Are you in different fantasy leagues that may require different focus based on scoring or roster? No problem, you can easily create multiple sheets to help you fit your draft board to whatever league you are involved in.
Live drafts happen fast and you need to be ready for whatever is thrown at you. Having a clean, concise cheat sheet is a huge step in bettering your preparation for your fantasy football draft. Don’t miss out on a great sleeper or forget about a top player anymore! You will be better prepared than any of your competitors(unless they use the Cheat Sheet Wizard as well!)
Draft Simulator
The Draft Simulator is a new and improved version of the typical mock draft. In most mock drafts, you get a nice sample of how a typical draft will take place and you can simply pick players round-by-round. Live mock drafts can take up to an hour, though. In the Cheat Sheet Wizard Mock Draft, you get a comprehensive live draft that has so much more than the boring old standard mock draft. Even better, you can easily rattle through 25 mock drafts in that same hour it took you to do one live mock! You also get to draft against the experts cheat sheets, so you are getting the cream of the crop in terms of draft competition rather than Joe Schmo who’s bored at home and felt like picking an all-Lions team or something like that. Some of the features include:
- Set-Up League Preferences: Before the draft starts you can set the preferences for the mock draft to specifically fit your league settings. PPR, number of teams, your draft order and more are available to make sure the draft is as accurate as possible.
- Player Percentages for Each Pick: When it is your first turn, a group of players will appear with percentages under their name. This is the group of players recommended to you based on the expert consensus and your cheat sheet. The player with the highest percentage is the player that most experts would say is the best selection at that spot. You can also view these percentages by position.
- Challenging Draft Opponents: The Cheat Sheet Wizard uses an algorithm that takes into account expert rankings, team needs and positional scarcity when drafting in a mock draft. You don’t have to worry about the computer simply taking the best player available, instead it acts more like an actual draft!
- Advanced Statistics Taken Into Account: The Cheat Sheet Wizard also uses VORP and VONA as advanced NFL statistics to help you draft better. VORP, value over replacement player, is essentially a number fit to fantasy football by showing you how a player projects versus any other available player at that position during the draft. VONA, value over next available, shows you how much value a given player has over the next best player at his position or overall so you can decide whether the time is right to bite on a specific guy.
- Likelihood A Player Is Taken: The hardest thing about drafting is guessing whether or not a player will still be on the board when the picks come back to you. Should you jump on him now or will he still be there at your next selection? The mock draft at Cheat Sheet Wizard shows you the percentage probability that every player available will be taken by your next pick. If a guy has a probability of being taken of 90%, you should get on him now before you miss out!
You can also view the whole draft board on the left of the screen and your roster on the right. This really is as comprehensive a mock draft as their is in the fantasy football world. The best part is that the Cheat Sheet Wizard is a new tool and relatively unknown, so you can dominate your league by getting the upper-hand first!
Mock Draft Analyzer
After you are done with your mock draft, you always wonder just how well you stack up. Sure, the eye test is fine and dandy but you still don’t really know how well you drafted. The Cheat Sheet Wizard immediately takes you to their Draft Analyzer following a mock draft. This shows you how you stacked up overall in your league and by each position. Full features are:
- Overall League Ranking: See your teams overall rank in the league according to experts and according to your personal cheat sheet
- Are You a Playoff Team? See who drafted a top-4 team in your league based on mock draft
- View Final Draft Board: Easily view all of the picks by position for each team in your league from the mock draft(or live draft, more info in Draft Assistant section).
- Rank At Each Position: Find out which positions you drafted well at and which you need improvement with. You will get a ranking of your team by position that you can use to better understand how to improve your team overall when the actual draft comes.
All of these rankings come both as an estimate of their ECR and as an estimate based on your own personal cheat sheet.
Draft Assistant
The Draft Assistant is the coup-de-grace of the Cheat Sheet Wizard package. After you have torn through a ton of mock drafts, fixed up your cheat sheet to your personal thoughts and studied every last aspect of your mock draft results, you can use all of this information in your actual draft. The Draft Assistant will automatically sync up to Yahoo, CBS, MyFantasyLeague and RealTimeSports fantasy leagues by just signing into your account through the Cheat Sheet Wizard’s website. You can also manually sync up to ESPN leagues so the Draft Assistant can be there for those live drafts as well.
In the draft you can view all of the amazing features that you had access to during your mock draft including the likelihood a player is taken percentages, expert consensus picks, and even view full Draft Analysis following your leagues draft. You can also view your full Cheat Sheet during the draft with all of your notes, targets and tiers you added. Beyond feeling great about your own draft after you finish, you can post a nice message on your league wall showing how you used the Cheat Sheet Wizard to draft the best projected team!
The Cheat Sheet Wizard is a one-of-a-kind tool that can increase even the best player’s efficiency and overall knowledge when preparing for a fantasy football draft. From editing your cheat sheet all the way to the Draft Assistant, the FantasyPros team has you covered. The days of spreadsheets, hour long mock drafts and cluttered draft boards are a thing of the past. Stay ahead of the curve with the Cheat Sheet Wizard and never feel unprepared for your draft again.
