FantasyIQ

Start in Command for the status view, then use Draft Room when you are close to draft day. Big Board is for player research, Mock Simulator is for practice, and Trade Calculator is for checking deals after your roster exists.

Big Board is the full player database for sorting, filtering, and reading player notes. Draft Room is the live decision view that combines the board with ESPN draft state, your team, roster needs, tier cliffs, and pick timing.

Cheatcode is the shortcut read. It turns board value, player risk, tier scarcity, roster shape, and room behavior into a simpler answer: best move now, safe pick, upside pick, value edge, wait list, and avoid list.

FantasyIQ needs your team to know when your picks are coming, which players are already on your roster, and what positions you can wait on. Without that, the room can still show the board, but the personalized reads are limited.

The league profile controls team count, scoring, lineup slots, draft rounds, bench, and playoffs. FantasyIQ uses that profile in Draft Room, Mock Simulator, Big Board value labels, and Trade Calculator so a superflex or double-flex league is treated differently from a 12-team full-PPR league.

Open Draft Room once, confirm the ESPN sync works, pick your team in the team selector, and run at least one mock from your likely slot. Then use Big Board to flag players you like in each tier.

Use it to practice decisions, not to memorize one perfect draft. Try different slots, use Auto To My Pick, and watch how your roster shape changes when you take safe value versus upside swings.

Use the safe pick when your roster still needs reliable starters or a tier is about to dry up. Use the upside pick when your foundation is stable and you can afford a higher-variance player with league-winning potential.

Likely returns means FantasyIQ thinks that player or a similar option has a realistic chance to be available at your next pick. It is not a guarantee; it is a timing read based on board rank, positional demand, and current draft flow.

It means the player is not necessarily bad, but the current pick is probably too expensive, too risky, or poorly timed for your build. If that player falls later, the read can change.

Use Sync Now first. If the draft still does not update, refresh the page while staying on your customer dashboard link. If ESPN has not exposed the draft feed yet, Big Board and Mock Simulator still work as fallback tools.

Use it after the draft, before accepting or sending a trade. Enter the players you give and receive, then paste your roster if you want fit warnings for thin positions or deals that create a weekly starter problem.

Use FantasyIQ as the discipline layer. If your gut likes a player, check whether the board price, risk, role, and tier support it. The best picks usually happen when your conviction and the value read agree.
