About
FantasyPros is a comprehensive fantasy sports research and decision-support platform trusted by millions of players across the United States. By pulling together picks, rankings, and analysis from more than 100 verified fantasy sports experts, it produces consensus rankings that smooth out individual bias and surface the most reliable player valuations available. A core differentiator is FantasyPros' proprietary Expert Consensus Rating (ECR) system, which tracks each analyst's historical accuracy and weights their contributions accordingly — helping users identify which voices are actually worth following. The platform covers all four major North American sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) and provides season-long projections, weekly start/sit advice, waiver wire recommendations, trade value charts, and draft cheat sheets. The free mock draft simulator lets users rehearse draft strategies against AI opponents or real competitors before their league draft day. FantasyPros offers a freemium model: a robust free tier gives access to consensus rankings, basic projections, and mock drafts, while a Premium subscription unlocks advanced tools such as the Draft Wizard, lineup optimizers, personalized start/sit advice, and real-time expert alerts. Mobile apps for iOS and Android extend the experience on the go. Whether you are a casual fan preparing for a single draft or a serious fantasy competitor managing multiple leagues, FantasyPros provides the data infrastructure to make smarter, faster decisions all season long.
