The Draft Planner
Rankings tell you who is good. They do not tell you what happens when the manager two seats up takes a quarterback in the fourth round, the way she has in every draft your league has ever run. FanIQ reads your league's actual draft history, compiles a branch-by-branch plan for your seat, and hands you a one-page sheet you can use at the table.

FanIQ reads every draft your league has run and groups the picks by the person who made them, not by the team slot. That distinction matters more than it sounds: franchises change hands between seasons, and grouping by seat is the fastest way to build a profile of a manager who left two years ago.
What comes out is a card per rival: when they reach for a quarterback, which positions they consistently pay up for, which rounds go quiet, whether they chase their own favorite team. Every pattern carries a plain-language confidence label, so you know the difference between something that happened in every draft and something that happened once. The actual picks behind each pattern are one tap away.
League patterns sit alongside the rival cards: the rounds where runs start, the dead rounds, when the quarterback pool actually dries up in your specific room. If your league has run under a different name across seasons, you can link those histories together so the profiles keep their depth.
Five questions about your format, your slot, and how you actually like to draft. FanIQ compiles the answers into a plan you read like a document, not a list:
Every recommendation carries a why pill. Tap it and you get the reasoning, the tradeoff, and what would change the call. There is no black box and no single number pretending to be certainty.
No league connected? The plan runs in manual mode, free at every tier. Tell it your league size, scoring, and slot, and it compiles the same way.
A single scrollable board: position tiers, value bands that flag the reaches and the values, bye weeks, and your own snake pick numbers marked down the board once you set your slot. Kickers and defenses are named and bye-aware, so you stop taking them blind in the last two rounds.
Tap share and it exports as a clean image sized for legibility on someone else's phone. Free at every tier, no account gymnastics, no connected league needed.
Cards covering value, market, structure, your seat, your opponents, and discipline. Each one states a claim in plain language, explains why it holds, and carries an honest evidence grade.
Some of those grades are not flattering, and they stay anyway. Where the folk wisdom does not survive contact with the data, the card says so. Several cards cite the same evidence network that backs FanIQ's other answers, so you can follow a claim down to what it was actually tested against.
The morning after the draft, every other app hands you a letter grade for a season that has not happened yet. FanIQ does not. The debrief looks at where your plan held and where you drifted, which pick actually turned the draft, what the steal was, and what to do differently next August.
No letter grade. No score out of ten. Just the parts of your process worth keeping.
Before building any of this, we wrote down the tests the Draft Planner had to pass and what counted as passing. Then we ran them. The prediction gates did not pass.
So the Draft Planner ships as observations, not forecasts. The League Report tells you what your league has done, with receipts, and stops there. It does not tell you what a rival will do next. Your league's history does not quietly shift a player's value bands behind your back. If any of that changes, it will be because a pre-registered test passed, not because the claim made a better headline.
That is the same standard behind every other answer in the app: show the data, show the confidence, and do not dress up a guess as a projection.
