Draft with a game plan, not just a cheat sheet.
Skipped the rankings homework? Good. DraftCaddy did it for you. It watches your live Sleeper draft and shows the smart play in real time: best available from a blend of sharp rankings, a team plan that adapts to your room, and warnings before the classic traps: bye-week pileups, two guys fighting for the same ball, and the round-9 scramble when the names you know are gone.
✓ READS THE PUBLIC SLEEPER API. NEVER LOGS IN. NEVER PICKS FOR YOU.
How it works
Paste a link. That's the whole setup.
Paste your draft URL
Grab the link to any Sleeper draft, including mock drafts. No login, no password, no permissions.
Pick your game plan
Hero RB, Zero RB, Robust RB, Elite TE, Hammer WR, or let auto-detect read your board position.
Draft with a caddy
Best available, tier cliffs, position runs, and wait-or-pick timing update live as every pick comes in.
Game film
Watch it call the room.
Straight from the app. No mockups, no concept art: this is the board your league-mates won't know you have.
Features
Built for the moment the clock starts.
Rankings sites hand you a static list and wish you luck. DraftCaddy stays in the draft with you.
A plan that molds to the board
Pick a build like Hero RB or Zero RB and the plan adapts live: it leans your recommendations toward the next position in your build, flags value pivots when a player falls, and never reaches past value to force the plan.
Know when to pick, when to wait
WAIT and LAST CALL chips compare every player against your next two turns, so you stop burning picks on players who would have come back around. Tier cliff alerts warn you when a position is about to dry up.
A blended board, nothing hidden
Rankings blend multiple independent sharp sources, and the explorer shows every source's rank side by side with a spread flag when they disagree. You see where the market splits, not just an average.
Your scoring, current injuries
Full PPR, half PPR, and standard boards, auto-matched to your league's settings. Injury status and expected return dates are pulled fresh at every board build, not from a stale preseason file.
Catches the classic traps
Live warnings before you draft three starters on the same bye week or two receivers splitting the same targets. And it knows the good version: pairing a QB with his own receiver gets a green light, not a flag.
Wins the back half of your draft
When the household names run out, the caddy shifts modes: it fills your remaining starter holes first, then points at upside picks worth a bench spot, so rounds 9 through 14 aren't a guess.
Reliability
The tool that doesn't desync in round 8.
The most common complaint about draft tools is losing sync mid-draft. DraftCaddy polls your draft directly from Sleeper's public API every few seconds and is stress-tested against full simulated drafts before every season, so the board you see is the draft that's happening.
Stay in the loop
Get the season updates.
New features land all draft season: more platforms beyond Sleeper, sharper boards, and draft-day upgrades. Leave an email and we'll send the short version when they ship.

FAQ
Fair questions.
I don't study rankings. Is this for me?
Especially you. DraftCaddy exists so you don't have to study, run mock drafts, or sweat your pick number. We already pulled the ranking sources and blended them, and the caddy watches for the mistakes that sink casual drafts: bye-week pileups, bad same-team stacks, and panic picks after the famous names are gone. Plug in and draft.
Why not just use Sleeper's own ADP?
Sleeper's ADP tells you when players usually get picked. It doesn't build your team. It won't warn you about bye-week pileups, won't flag two guys splitting the same targets, won't hand you a plan for your draft slot, and won't find you value late. And it's a single source: we blend several, because no one ADP is the sharpest. Sleeper tells you the when. DraftCaddy tells you what to actually do.
Is it really free?
Yes, free for the whole 2026 season while it's in beta. A cheap season pass may come later, but nothing you use this year will be pulled out from under you mid-season.
Do I have to give it my Sleeper password?
No. There is no login of any kind. DraftCaddy reads the public Sleeper API for your draft, the same data anyone with the draft link can see. It can't make picks, change your roster, or touch your account.
Which platforms and formats does it support?
Sleeper drafts, NFL redraft leagues, snake format, in full PPR, half PPR, and standard scoring. It works in mock drafts too, which is the best way to try it before draft night. More platforms are on the roadmap.
Where do the rankings come from?
A blend of independent, sharp public sources including mock draft consensus and real money-league drafts, rebuilt fresh with current injuries. The rankings explorer shows every source's rank next to the blend, so you can see exactly where they disagree and judge for yourself.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. It's a web app, so it runs in any browser. Most drafters keep the Sleeper app open on their phone and DraftCaddy in a second window or on a laptop screen beside it.
