Fantasy Lineup reads your league's exact rules and does the math you were going to skip: who starts, who to grab off waivers before your opponent wakes up, which trades aren't insulting, and how Sunday is actually going. Your gut had its chance.
The team in the film and in every picture on this page is made up. The math isn't.
Click a number. They explain themselves.
This manager left 16 points on his bench. Click a player and pick who should be playing instead. This is what the app does all day.
A coin flip. With a 16-point receiver sitting on the bench. Click someone.
Do this to your team · Get ProA made-up team. The app's real numbers for it. Swapping players in Live is Pro; the best lineup from your bench is on the free plan.
One bar across the top: Home, Live, Moves, League, NFL & news, History. Everything loads ahead of time, so every page opens at once. Unlike the group chat.
The competition, as we understand it.

You'd find out anyway.
Or a Chromebook. It's a Windows app, 10 or 11. A phone app is planned; "planned" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
Sleeper doesn't let apps do that. On Sleeper it tells you the moves and you make them. On ESPN it does it for you, when you say so.
Projections are estimates. Football is chaos with a clock. It moves the odds your way; it doesn't cash them.
Windows will ask if you're sure, because we haven't paid Microsoft to vouch for us yet. Two clicks.
It wants 8 GB of memory and about 2 GB of disk. It's doing ten thousand simulations. Be reasonable.
There aren't any. It launched this season, and we're not inventing a Mike from Ohio. Use the free plan and decide yourself.
Pro is $5/month. That's one bad waiver bid. You make several.
Five looks, each in dark and light, and all 32 teams' colors. Click one: this page changes too. The app does it better.
Make an account, install it on Windows 10 or 11. Nothing else to install. No, not even that.
ESPN or Sleeper. It finds your team, your slots and your scoring. Your sign-in never leaves your PC.
What to do this week is at the top. Do it. Take the credit.
ESPN and Sleeper. On ESPN it can set your lineup for you, when you confirm. Sleeper doesn't let apps set lineups, so there it tells you the moves and you make them.
No. Nothing changes in your league until you click Set this lineup and confirm the moves it lists. Swapping players in Live only tries a lineup out.
Free is Home: your week at a glance, your best lineup, the close calls, and setting it on ESPN. No card, no time limit. Pro ($5/month) adds every other page: Live, the waiver wire, trades, your league, the news and your history. Every new account starts with 14 days of Pro, so you'll know exactly what you'd be missing.
Any time, from your account page, in two clicks. You keep Pro until the end of the month you've paid for. Changed your mind in the first 7 days? You get your money back.
No. It's an app that does arithmetic about a game you already play. It shows betting lines for information and takes no bets. The disclaimer says this with more words.
No. If you have a Claude account, the app can use it to read the news and answer questions about your team. Without it, everything else works the same.
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), 8 GB of memory, about 2 GB of disk. Nothing else has to be installed. The setup guide has every step.
It stays on your PC, in Windows Credential Manager. This website never sees it, or anything else about your league. The privacy page is short, for once.
Or keep winging it. You know how that's been going.
