Every ranking site prices players under standard scoring. Your league isn't standard. Gridiron GM rebuilds the entire board under your exact rules — then shows you every player your leaguemates are about to mispick.
Most tools store a projection and show it to everyone. We store the underlying statistics — catches, yards, touchdowns by type — and compute the points fresh under your league's rules. Flip a single setting and the rankings genuinely reorder.
Every number below is computed, not guessed. No black box, and every recommendation shows its reasoning.
When a starter goes down, his carries and targets go somewhere. We trace exactly where — then tell you whether the man inheriting them is on your bench, on a rival's roster, or sitting free right now.
Re-ranks the entire board after every pick in your room. Combines value over replacement, your roster holes, tier scarcity, and the odds a player survives until your next pick.
Reads the free-agent pool and all eleven rival rosters. Scores every add against your worst bench player at that position, and tells you what to bid.
Connect your league and get an honest letter grade plus your rank — free, no card, no trial. Then drop the card into your league chat and let the arguing begin.
We don't soften the bad grades. If you drafted a D roster, it says D.

| Gridiron GM | Big ranking sites | Your platform's built-in tools | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rankings recomputed under your exact scoring | Yes — from raw stats | Partial — mostly preset formats | Their scoring, their platform |
| Shows where your league disagrees with the market | Yes, per position | No | No |
| Traces vacated carries & targets to the beneficiary | Yes — Ripple Chain | No | No |
| Scans all rival rosters, not just free agents | Yes | Rarely | No |
| Works across every platform you play on | Sleeper first, more coming | Yes — broad support | One platform only |
| Sets your lineup for you automatically | Not yet | Some do | Some do |
| Free tier with real standalone value | Yes — full roster grade | Limited | Yes |
One price, paid once, covers your draft and week one of the season. After that it's your call — buying the pass never signs you up for anything recurring.
No. Gridiron GM is a research and decision-support tool for season-long fantasy football. It does not accept or place wagers, it has no odds, spreads or prop bets, and nothing it produces is investment, financial or betting advice. Projections are estimates, not guarantees of any outcome.
Nothing automatic. Buying the Draft Pass does not enrol you in a subscription — there is no code path from one to the other. When week one ends we'll ask once whether you want to continue at $4.99/week. If you do, you can cancel any time from your account page and we send a receipt for every charge.
Yes. Gridiron GM needs to know whose league it is looking at, so there's no signed-out mode. The account is free and stays free — the board under your scoring, the market gaps, your roster grade and the share card are all included. Sign in with Google, with Apple, or with an email address and a password.
Sleeper at launch, because it has an open, documented API and connecting takes about ten seconds. ESPN and Yahoo are next, plus manual entry that works with any platform. If your league is somewhere else, reserve anyway and we'll tell you the moment it's ready.
Real prior-season statistics, live injury and depth-chart status, and average draft position aggregated from thousands of real drafts. Projections are computed from component statistics under your league's rules — we never store a projection and hand it to everyone.
So it installs in one tap and we keep the price low — app stores take 15–30%. Open the site on your phone, add it to your home screen, and it behaves like any other app, including offline.
Email us within seven days of your draft and we'll refund the $19.99, no questions and no forms. We'd rather have the feedback than the money.
