A developer replaced $60/season fantasy football draft tools with a single Claude project. This tool loads Sleeper fantasy football leagues to retrieve settings like scoring and roster size, then fetches average draft position (ADP) for the specific scoring system. Users can select a draft slot and draft against a CPU. The project, available on GitHub as "ItsTitle/fantasy-football-draft-room," is free, MIT licensed, requires no API keys or accounts, and runs locally using Node + npm.
If anyone else here is a fantasy football player / enthusiast, then you know we're in prime drafting season.
In prior years, I would pay for seasonal tools to help with draft prep, but this year I realized, surely I could describe what I'm already paying for to Claude and have it recreate the tool for my own personal use.
So that's exactly what I did, and what I ended up with was my own personal, 100% free (excluding the Claude subscription of course) Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator.
The tool loads my Sleeper fantasy football leagues to retrieve each league's settings (scoring, roster size, number of teams, etc) and then retrieves ADP (average draft position) for that scoring system. Then I can pick a draft slot (or use my existing draft slot if the order has been determined already) and begin drafting against the CPU.
The CPU is also configurable. I can have it follow ADP exactly, increase how far from ADP it will reach, and even configure specific position groups to be more or less valued than others depending on how I think my leaguemates draft.
The tool even allows me to upload my custom rankings to draft from which helps when my rankings drift from ADP heavily.
I'm also putting finishing touches by adding a draft assistant mode that will follow the active draft as it happens, allowing me to use it on draft night.
This was built for just personal use so I don't have a URL or anything to share but just wanted to help show how Claude can be used to replace other tools / software you already pay for!
Edit: A few people asked, so it's up: https://github.com/ItsTitle/fantasy-football-draft-room free, MIT licensed, no API keys or accounts needed. Node + npm, runs locally.
